Epoxy Layered Silicates with Fly Ash-Based Geopolymer: Flexural Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of fly ash-based geopolymer in epoxy-layered silicates nanocomposites was studied through flexural properties and morphological characterization. In this study, a series of nanocomposites with fly ash-based geopolymer containing 1-7% wt were prepared. It was found that the addition of fly ash with lower content in the beginning showed lower flexural strength than nanocomposites without fly ash. However, flexural properties suddenly increased at 3% wt of fly ash geopolymer content in comparison to origin. This indicates the blending of fly ash geopolymer in nanocomposites systems have the ability for further studied.
