Antibacterial Metakaolin-Based Geopolymer Cement
Abstract Geopolymer cement can be used as a ceramic matrix carrier for different applications such as antibacterial materials. In this work, an antibacterial geopolymer cement has been synthesized by loading the organic compound 5-chloro-2-(2, 4-Dichlorophenoxy) phenol also known as “Triclosan” into a geopolymer metakaolin and nano-silica based cement matrix. The antibacterial efficiency of Triclosan-geopolymer cement against Escherichia Coli (Gram-negative bacteria) and Staphylococcus Aureus (Gram-positive bacteria) was evaluated using the Halo method; results show that triclosan based Geopolymer cement are effective for preventing the reproduction of the E. coli and S. aureus bacteria. From results, a “room-temperature” antibacterial metakaolin based geopolymer cement for buildings with health and environmental protection can be obtained.
