Study on properties and morphology of kaolin based geopolymer coating on clay substrates
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013-12)The application of geopolymer as a coating was not widely explored by other researchers and therefore the study of kaolin based geopolymer coating applied on different types of clay substrate (unsintered and sintered) was ... -
Kaolin-based geopolymers with various NaOH concentrations
(Springer Verlag, 2013-03)Kaolin geopolymers were produced by the alkali-activation of kaolin with an activator solution (a mixture of NaOH and sodium silicate solutions). The NaOH solution was prepared at a concentration of 6-14 mol/L and was mixed ... -
General properties of kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)This paper reported the properties of kaolin geopolymers in term of the bulk density, compressive strength, qualitative observation and SEM analysis of the kaolin geopolymers. Kaolin geopolymers were synthesized through ... -
Influence of oxide molar ratios on kaolin geopolymers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-12)Oxide molar ratios are the main key parameter determining the performance of a kaolin geopolymers. The kaolin composition and various mixture proportions will lead to different oxide molar ratios in geopolymer system. In ... -
Nano geopolymer for sustainable concrete using fly ash synthesized by high energy ball milling
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)This paper presents the development of a nano geopolymer for sustainable concrete using fly ash synthesized by high-energy ball milling. In this paper, we report on our investigation of the effects of grinding on the binder ... -
New processing method of kaolin-based geopolymer brick by using geopolymer brick machine
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-01)With increased activity in construction, deficiency of building materials and construction waste improvements have encouraged the development of new building materials. Conventional construction bricks are usually made ... -
Study of concrete using modified polystyrene coarse aggregate
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Polymer recycling has received a great deal of attention in recent years. At the present time, small percentages of polymer wastes in Malaysia are being recycled. The recycling process has typically consisted of reprocessing ... -
Strength of concrete with ceramic waste and quarry dust as aggregates
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)This research focuses on a study of the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate and quarry dust as fine aggregate. The sources of ceramic waste and quarry dust are obtained from the industrial in Malaysia. ... -
Mechanical properties of polymer composites with sugarcane bagasse filler
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Natural fibers reinforced polymer composites have gained more interest because of their biodegradable, light weight, less expensive sources, easy processing, high specific modulus and also environmentally friendly appeal. ... -
Study on refractory materials application using geopolymer processing
(American Scientific Publishers, 2013-01)Geopolymer is cementitious binders that do not require the presence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Class F fly ash with geopolymer formulations prepared with an alkaline activator (mixture of Na2SiO3 and NaOH solutions) ... -
Study on fly ash based geopolymer for coating applications
(Trans Tech Publications, 2013)Geopolymer is cementitious binders that do not require the presence of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Fly ash with geopolymer formulations prepared with mixing alumino-silicate with the alkaline activator solution has ... -
Potential of marine clay as raw material in geopolymer composite
(Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)In this research, marine clays has been studied its potential as a matrix composite materials that tend to be used as alternative materials to concrete. The study shows that marine clays which mixed with appropriate ... -
Effect of curing regimes on metakaolin geopolymer pastes produced from geopolymer powder
(Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)The properties of metakaolin geopolymer paste are affected by the alkali concentration, the initial raw materials, solidification process, and amount of mixing water as well as the curing conditions. This study aimed to ... -
Potential application of palm ash as a raw materials in production of green glass
(Scientific.Net/Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)Oil Palm Ash is one of the abundance agricultural wastes found in Malaysia. This wastes need to be disposed properly. Oil palm ash contains compounds needed to produce glass. Most of raw materials (especially silica) used ... -
Strength and microstructural properties of mechanically-activated kaolin geopolymers
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012-12)Kaolin geopolymers exhibit low strength properties due to its plate-like nature which contribute to smaller surface area for geopolymerization reactions. Layered kaolin structure only allows very little, if any, substitution ... -
Mechanical properties and wear behavior of brake pads produced from palm slag
(Trans Tech Publications, 2012)Brake pads are important safety devices in vehicles. An effort to avoid the use of asbestos in brake pads has led to the development of asbestos-free brake pads that incorporate various organic and inorganic fillers. Palm ... -
