KINETIC CRYSTALLIZATION OF GEOPOLYMER

The geopolymer was introduced by Davidovits on 1978 to describe inorganic network. Geopolymer is an alternative binders for the Portland Cement (PC) due to many factors such as better chemical and mechanical characteristic concrete and an enviroment issues like emmision of Carbon Dioxide. The aim...
