A Review on the Modification of Geopolymer with Inorganic Mineral Materials

Abstract:

Geopolymer has been applied in a great many fields such as cement and concrete, fire-proof material, heavy metal immobilization because of its excellent properties. In recent years, the additives such as fibers, carbon nanotube, graphene and inorganic mineral materials has been used to further improve the mechanical strength and other properties. The geopolymer modification with inorganic mineral materials including Ca (Mg)-rich, Si-rich, Al-rich, silicate aluminate and metal oxides mineral materials is reviewed and the action and modification mechanism of these materials in the geopolymer system are nterpreted in this paper.
