Abstract:Kaolin based one-part geopolymers (produced by adding water to preground aluminosilicate+alkali mixture) were produced in this study. The effect of silica fume addition and pre-curing time on microstructure, mechanical and mineralogical properties of geopolymers evaluated with X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FT-IR).7-day compressive strength of 66.73 MPa was obtained from kaolin-based one-part geopolymers.
