� Calcined laterite at 600 � C was used to synthesize geopolymers cured at ambient temperature. � Incorporation of meta-halloysite into geopolymer matrix extended the amorphous phase. � Compressive strength of laterite-based geopolymer increased with meta-halloysite added. � Adding an optimum of meta-halloysite powder inhibited the efflorescence formation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
