Influence of alkaline activator concentration on the mechanical, microstructural properties of geopolymer mortar using Class C fly ash and M-sand
This research study examines the mechanical and microstructural properties of geopolymer mortar using Class C fly ash and M-sand. The findings indicate that a 12 M sodium hydroxide concentration provides the optimal balance for strength and structural density.
Why it matters
Advancements in sustainable construction materials like geopolymers are essential for reducing the carbon footprint of the global building industry.
