Foaming to reduce the density of geopolymeric materials is increasingly being reported in the literature as it has been shown to be effective in improving their insulating properties. However, there is no consistency in foaming methods and as such this study was performed to compare methods in order to better understand their effect on the properties of geopolymers. A surfactant and two chemical foaming agents
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
