Characterisation and properties of geopolymer composites. Part 2: Role of cordierite-mullite reinforcement
Ceramics International(2017)
摘要
Our previous research paper on geopolymer-mullite composites showed promising results on compressive strength and fire resistance. However, no improvement in thermal shock resistance was observed in the afore mentioned study. In this study, further attempts to improve thermal shock resistance of the geopolymer were explored. The research was performed by compositing a fly ash-based geopolymer with cordierite-mullite at 20, 40 and 60wt% replacement. X-ray diffraction (XRD) of the cured geopolymer composite specimens showed the existence of cordierite, mullite, quartz, cancrinite and lazurite. It was found that compressive strength and strength retention after thermal exposure at 400°C were improved in the geopolymer composite specimens, especially those with 20–40wt% replacement. Upon further heating to 600°C, all geopolymer specimens showed insignificant differences in compressive strength. Fire resistance was found to improve with increasing proportion of replacement contents.
