(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
This article investigates the potential utilization of waste carbon black (WCB) resulting from the aluminum industry as a by-product material in the fly ash-based geopolymer composites production. Experimental study was ...
Thermal behavior and post-heating fracture characteristics of polypropylene microfiber-reinforced geopolymer binders
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
This paper investigated the post-heating behavior of fly ash-based geopolymer binders reinforced with polypropylene (PP) microfibers. Geopolymer binders with different fiber contents including 0%, 0.05%, 0.1%, and 0.2% by ...
