Enhancing Mechanical Properties of Geopolymer Mortar Using Ternary Blends at Ambient Temperature
New, environmentally friendly materials are taking over the building sector as a practical answer to the expanding architectural market. All throughout the world, people are working to create greener building materials that consume less natural resources and release fewer greenhouse gases into the air. One source of the rise in emissions of greenhouse gases is the manufacturing of regular Portland cement. One solution to this problem is the rise of geopolymer technology, which can replace conventional cement. There is no OPC cement in geopolymer cement; instead, the binder is an inorganic polymer. As a substitute for geopolymer cement, it employs fly ash, metakaolin, and GGBS. The activator solutions consist of varying concentrations of NaOH and Na2SiO3, with a constant ratio of 1.5 between sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide concentrations of 10, 12, 14, 16, and 18 Molar. Castings of geopolymer concrete are subjected to compressive strength tests in a controlled environment at 3, 7, 28, 56, and 90 days after casting, and specimens including water absorption are left to cure at room temperature. Geopolymer mortar’s morphological composition is better understood thanks to this study, which may pave the way for future innovations in the field and the building trades.
