Adhesion Tests in Quasicrystal Powders Reinforced Geopolymer Composites
Abstract:
The composite studied here consisted of a geopolymer matrix reinforced with quasicrystal powders. Quasicrystals are complex metal alloys with atypical structures. Due to their physical, mechanical and surface properties, quasicrystals have been widely studied. Nowadays quasicrystalline powders are proposed to be incorporated in ductile matrices. The geopolymers are inorganic polymers with excellent thermal performance and interesting adhesive properties. The quasicrystalline alloys were prepared by induction melting the constituents under argon atmosphere in a water-cooled copper crucible. In this work the adhesion of composites with 5, 10 and 15% of quasicrystal powder in aluminum joints was investigated. In addition, the influence of the curing time was taken in to account and tests were performed in samples with 7 and 28 days of cure. The results indicate an improvement in adherence with the inclusion of quasicrystal. The best adherence was obtained when the curing time was 28 days.
