Methods of curing geopolymer concrete: A review (2018, background): “Similarly, Rangan (2008) and Lloyd and Rangan (2009) have placed thermocouples in three various specimens of geopolymer concrete and the internal temperature in the specimens were observed.”
Preparation and mechanical properties of polypropylene fiber reinforced calcined kaolin-fly ash based geopolymer (2009, background): “Geopolymer shrinks badly during curing, which easily results in the formation of microcracks and even visible cracks [ 15 ].”
Advances in alkali-activation of clay minerals (2020, methodology): “Methods suggested to address these issues include tailoring the viscosity of the alkaline activating solution [38], modifying the metakaolin particle morphology via the calcination process [43], modifying design factors to tailor the pore structure in order to minimize capillary porosity, and/ or co”
Production of nepheline/quartz ceramics from geopolymer mortars (2013, background): “Previous research comparing different Al:Si ratios has shown that a ratio of 2 results in relatively high strength geopolymers [24-27].”
