Synthesis, Curing and Thermal Behavior of Amine Hardeners from Potentially Renewable Sources.

Research into bio-based epoxy resins has intensified in recent decades. Here, it is of great importance to use raw materials whose use does not compete with food production. In addition, the performance of the newly developed materials should be comparable to that of conventional products.

Formation of Geopolymers Using Sodium Silicate Solution and Aluminum Orthophosphate.

This paper reports the formation and structure of fast setting geopolymers activated by using three sodium silicate solutions with different modules (1.6, 2.0 and 2.
