Analysing and Manipulating the Nanostructure of Geopolymers

Abstract: Abstract. Geopolymer concretes are currently being commercialised in Australia and elsewhere around the world, with a view towards enhancing the sustainability of the world's construction industry. The fundamental geopolymer binder is an aluminosilicate gel which displays key structural features on every length scale from Ångstroms up to centimetres, meaning that multiscale analysis is key to the development of a detailed understanding of geopolymer formation and performance. Here, we present results from inve… Show more

“…The shift of the main peak towards higher wavenumbers observed between 24 h and 7 days is attributed to the formation of the gel network. The peak is shifted towards higher wavenumbers for sample with a higher initial availability of monomeric silica which can promote the structure formation [43]. Nevertheless, after longer curing periods (28 days) the position of the main peak becomes stable, regardless of the used activator.…”
