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. date: 2015 publisher: Trans Tech Publications Ltd official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84907000352&doi=10.4028%2fwww.scientific.net%2fMSF.803.355&partnerID=40&md5=4caca895d2c5bc6e8a508778aa907908 id_number: 10.4028/www.scientific.net/MSF.803.355 full_text_status: none publication: Materials Science Forum volume: 803 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 355-361 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9783038352334 issn: 02555476 citation: Asif, A. and Man, Z. and Mohd Azizli, K.A. and Nuruddin, M.F. and Ismail, L.
