Geopolymer, green alkali activated cementitious material: Synthesis, applications and challenges

Geopolymers, combining some characteristics of organic polymers, cements and ceramics for its special poly-condensed network structure, have received extensive attention of the researchers as a green cementitious material because of favorable and unique characteristics. This study mainly presents an overview on the progress of geopolymers research and development in recent decades. The works on raw materials, geopolymerization kinetics, the...
