Geopolymer was synthesized using sodium hydroxide as activator. SEM studies revealed multiphasous structure of the material, composed of geopolymeric gel, partially reacted fly ashparticles and selectively leached particles. EDX analysis confirmed the chemical composition of different regions. Infra red spectroscopic studies supported the SEM-EDX analysis by confirming presence of unreacted quartzite and mullite in geopolymers. It is concluded that geopolymers possese a non uniform chemistry through out the structure. © 2015 AIP Publishing LLC. publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. date: 2015 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Khan, M.I. and Azizli, K. and Sufian, S. and Man, Z. and Siyal, A.A. and Ullah, H.
