Characterization of Geopolymer Composite via Filament Winding

Abstract:

Generally, the composite pipes are fabricated using glass fiber and polyester resin matrix by hand lay-up and also by 2-axis filament winding machine. In this work, a filament winding machine was used for the fabrication of geopolymer composites pipes. In this study, raw material based geopolymer resin composites reinforced by continuous glass fiber were used for fabrication and synthesized by different types of raw materials which is fly ash, silica sand, white clay, kaolin and pozzolanic. The effects of different types of raw materials on the product were investigated. The morphological properties, density and burnout of the resulting composite were determined on an optical microscope for morphology and densimeter for bulk density. The results shows fly ash has the higher density compare to the others and kaolin has the highest reduction of weight percentage.
