Abstract
This research mainly focused on studying the influence of various curing media on the properties of lightweight geopolymer composites. Here, Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS), Paddy straws, and the combination of sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide at the ratio of 2.5:1 were used to produce geopolymer composites. For this experiment, two different parameters, i.e., variation of paddy straw (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) and variation of curing media (Intermittent, Heat, and Saline water), were chosen. The compressive strength of a 20% addition of paddy straw is dramatically reduced by 88.6%, while the density is reduced to 40.42%. Maximum flexure and tensile strength were noted as 65.11 and 45.5%, respectively, for the 15% addition of paddy straw. An interesting fact found from the samples cured under Saline water enhanced the overall compressive strength, tensile and flexural strength by 12.85, 45.5, and 21.2%, respectively, compared to the other two curing media.
期刊介绍:
"Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad.
"Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
