The paper presents the properties of a new type of alkali activated borosilicate inorganic polymers (AABSIPs) resulted by the activation of waste glass powder and fly ash with alkaline solutions. The alkali activators used in this study were mixtures of borax decahydrate with NaOH and KOH solutions. For the preparation of AABSIP mortars two types of aggregates were used i.e. sand and a waste resulted during the mechanical processing of titanium alloy ingots. The thermal treatment of these pastes and mortars determines an intumescent process i.e. significant increase of volume; consequently, these materials could be used as low-cost fire stopper blocks for passive fire protection of buildings.
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.
