Nanostructural Stability of Alkali-Activated (N,K-ASH) Geopolymer Cements
Current Challenge
Research Goal
The primary objective of this research is to investigate the time-dependent stability of (N,K)-ASH geopolymer gel nanostructures in the presence of both physical and chemical environmental stressors. Fundamental knowledge on the nanostructural stability of (N,K)-ASH gels is necessary to produce sustainable, durable geopolymer-based alternatives to conventional portland cement.
