A geopolymer produced from Jordanian kaolinite is described in this work. The aim is to produce low environmental impact materials from local raw materials. In this paper the emphasis is on the general characteristics of the material and on its durability. With the used kaolinite, specimens with compressive strength of 41 MPa under dry conditions and 23 MPa under immersed water conditions were obtained. The durability under environmental conditions was good.
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.
