TY - JOUR N1 - cited By 12; Conference of 2014 Malaysia-Indonesia Geopolymer Symposium, MIGS 2014 ; Conference Date: 11 May 2014 Through 12 May 2014; Conference Code:107495 TI - The effect of Si/Al ratio and sodium silicate on the mechanical properties of fly ash based geopolymer for coating SP - 355 AV - none EP - 361 SN - 02555476 PB - Trans Tech Publications Ltd N2 - The present study has been performed to see the effect of varying Si/Al ratio (1. 85 to 3) by using same concentration of NaOH and same solid/water ratio for the development of mechanical properties at 28 days of room temperature and also select the Si/Al ratio for coating application. The performance of the geopolymer was investigated on the basis of compressive strengthSEM along with EDS. Pure sodium hydroxide specimens displayed decreased strength. However the combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate specimen with aSi/Al ratio of 2 showed maximum strength, whereas the specimen after Si/Al ratio 2 showed decrease in strength. © (2015) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.
