Abstract:

Geopolymer is an environmentally cementitious binder that does not require the existence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Geopolymer has many excellent advantages, including high early strength, low shrinkage, good thermal resistance and good chemical resistance. Based on previous research, geopolymer offered good resistance to corrosion, abrasion and heat. Fly ash, metakaolin, kaolin, and slag are regularly used raw materials for the preparation of geopolymer composites. Geopolymer composites also offer a potential environmental friendly product by reduce the carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions. This geopolymer material also offers an innovative and sustainable solution for maintaining infrastructure and also provides superior thermal, chemical and mechanical performance. This paper summarizes some research outcomes on alkali-activated binders along with the potential of geopolymer composites for thermal insulating applications.
