This work provides a …
This work created a fireproof sandwich structure in which the face sheets were made of expanded vermiculite and expanded perlite-filled geopolymer composites and embedded basalt fiber mats and the core material was rock wool in designing the lightweight and cost-effective fire-resistant structure for steel bridges with excellent retardant and heat-insulating performance.
Geopolymers are most widely used as an alternative construction material to concrete. In this work, however, the formation of geopolymers was exploited as a facile, low-energy synthetic …
In this investigation, a geopolymer based on ceramic waste (CW) and granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS) was synthesized. To confer the geopolymer with self-cleaning functionality, a nano-SiO 2-TiO 2 coating with hydrophobic and photocatalytic properties was applied onto the surface of CW-GBFS-based geopolymer. The effect of both the CW content …
