TY - JOUR AV - none N1 - cited By 14; Conference of 3rd International Conference on Process Engineering and Advanced Materials, ICPEAM 2014 ; Conference Date: 3 June 2014 Through 5 June 2014; Conference Code:114811 TI - Effect of Na/Al and Si/Al ratios on adhesion strength of geopolymers as coating material SP - 85 PB - Trans Tech Publications Ltd SN - 16609336 EP - 89 N2 - In this study fly ash based aluminosilicate coatings were formulated and the effect of the Na/Al, Si/Al ratios, and curing time upon adhesion strength of geopolymeric coating was measured using Elcometer 108. Geopolymer gained their maximum adhesion within first three days. After 3 days curing on 60oC resulted into a maximum adhesion strength of 10MPa at Si/Al=3 and Na/Al=1.0. Micro structural analysis and Infra red spectroscopy was used to study the geopolymerisation process. Surface profile of fly ash particles shown that degree of reactivity has a direct relation with their surface roughness. © 2014 Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
