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. date: 2014 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84914145161&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fAMM.625.85&partnerID=40&md5=dcfc2351416edf58c4e269ab96e578c8 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/AMM.625.85 full_text_status: none publication: Applied Mechanics and Materials volume: 625 pagerange: 85-89 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038351818 issn: 16609336 citation: Irfan Khan, M. and Azizli, K. and Sufian, S. and Man, Z.
