Fabrication of High Performance Geopolymer Ceramic Part I - Microstructural Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

Geopolymer ceramic have been produced by the powder metallurgy (PM) technique. The samples were reacted by the alkaline activator to activate the geopolymerization process and crushed by using Mortar and Pestle to powderized the samples. Powder metallurgy technique was used and samples were heated at different temperature start from 700 °C until 1200°C and the strength were tested. The relative density and flexural strength of sintered sample ranged approximately 84%-95% and 20-100 MPa respectively. Microstructural properties was conducted by scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and the surface analysis by energy dispersive X-ray (EDX).
