Development of epoxy-geopolymer hybrid composites as synthetic ceramic

Novel cross-linked geopolymer-epoxy hybrid composites as synthetic ceramics is developed in this project. Geopolymer fly-ash is used as basis to be mixed with epoxy, an inorganic polymer at different ratios to produce an enhanced sample with lighter, strong resistance against temperature, acidity, l...
