Abstract
This study assesses the impact of foaming agent type/content (hydrogen peroxide and Zn powder) and stabilizer content on the mechanical, thermal and microstructural of the elaborated geopolymer foams. Eighteen geopolymer foams were synthesized and their microstructure, density, porosity and compressive strength were analyzed before and after exposure to high temperatures (300 and 600 °C). To characterize the raw materials and the samples, several techniques were used, including X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Magic-Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (29Si and 27Al MAS NMR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and porosity measurements. Thermogravimetric analysis was also performed to assess the thermal stability of the geopolymer foams with different foaming agent content and type. According to the results, the geopolymer foam with Zn powder as a foaming agent was more stable after exposure to the high temperature. The porosity increased after exposure to 300 °C, meanwhile decreasing after annealing at 600 °C.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Data Collections (CDC) provides a publication outlet for the increasing need to make research material and data easy to share and re-use. Publication of research data with CDC will allow scientists to: -Make their data easy to find and access -Benefit from the fast publication process -Contribute to proper data citation and attribution -Publish their intermediate and null/negative results -Receive recognition for the work that does not fit traditional article format. The research data will be published as ''data articles'' that support fast and easy submission and quick peer-review processes. Data articles introduced by CDC are short self-contained publications about research materials and data. They must provide the scientific context of the described work and contain the following elements: a title, list of authors (plus affiliations), abstract, keywords, graphical abstract, metadata table, main text and at least three references. The journal welcomes submissions focusing on (but not limited to) the following categories of research output: spectral data, syntheses, crystallographic data, computational simulations, molecular dynamics and models, physicochemical data, etc.
