Geopolymers have the advantages of low carbon, being environmentally friendly and low price, which matches the development direction of building materials. Common geopolymer materials are also known as two-part geopolymers (TPGs). TPGs are usually prepared from two main substances, which are formed by polymerization of a silicoaluminate precursor and an alkaline activator solution. The TPG has many limitations in engineering application because of its preparation on the construction site, and the use of solid alkaline activator in one-part geopolymers (OPGs) overcomes this shortcoming. However, the brittleness of OPGs such as ceramics also hinders its popularization and application. The properties of the new OPG can be improved effectively by toughening and strengthening it with fibers. This review discusses the current studies of fiber-reinforced one-part geopolymers (FOPGs) in terms of raw precursors, activators, fibers, physical properties and curing mechanisms. In this paper, the effects of the commonly used reinforcement fibers, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber, polypropylene (PP) fiber, polyethylene (PE) fiber, basalt fiber and other composite fibers, on the fresh-mixing properties and mechanical properties of the OPGs are summarized. The performance and toughening mechanism of FOPGs are summarized, and the workability, macroscopic mechanical properties and durability of FOPGs are investigated. Finally, the development and engineering application prospect of FOPGs are prospected.

Dataset on early-age strength of ambient-cured geopolymer mortars from waste concrete and bricks with different alkaline activators.
Data Brief
October 2024
Mechanical Engineering Program, Texas A&M University at Qatar, P.O. Box 23874, Education City, Doha, Qatar.
The dataset presented here emanates from preliminary studies that compared the early-age compressive strengths of geopolymer mortars produced from construction and demolition wastes (CDW) commonly found in Qatar using different alkaline activators. Waste concrete, waste bricks and steel slag were used as aluminosilicate sources for the geopolymer mortars. Waste concrete was used as fine aggregate (75 µm to 4 mm), while solid or hollow red clay bricks were used together with steel slag as aluminosilicate powders.

Alkali activated materials (AAMs) commonly known as geopolymers are considered ecofriendly substitutes for Portland cement. However, these materials still have a significant environmental impact, owing mainly to the use of activators based on commercial chemical products. In this sense, this research focuses on the production and use of waste glass-derived activators AAMs as an alternative to commercial activators.

This paper examines how extrusion-based 3D-printing technology is evolving, utilising geopolymers (GPs) as sustainable inorganic aluminosilicate materials. Particularly, the current state of 3D-printing geopolymers is critically examined in this study from the perspectives of the production process, printability need, mix design, early-age material features, and sustainability, with an emphasis on the effects of various elements including the examination of the fresh and hardened properties of 3D-printed geopolymers, depending on the matrix composition, reinforcement type, curing process, and printing configuration. The differences and potential of two-part and one-part geopolymers are also analysed.

Geopolymer solidification/stabilization technology has developed rapidly in the remediation field of heavy metal-contaminated soil. However, geopolymers exhibit low anionic heavy metal immobilization efficiency due to their electronegativity and alkali activation characteristics. This study constructed a one-part blast furnace slag-based geopolymer system using landfill leachate concentrate (LLC) as chlorine and humic acid sources and achieved the solidification/stabilization of cations (Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb) and anions (Sb and As) in the antimony mine soils (AMS).

This study investigated the one-part geopolymer synthesis by coal gasification slag through a calcination treatment. Two preparation methods, the traditional alkali fusion method (M-I) and the alkali fusion and modification method (M-II), were compared to illustrate the more suitable way for coal gasification slag-based one-part geopolymer (CGS-based geopolymer) synthesis. The reaction products and structure of the geopolymer were tested by XRD, FTIR, TG-DTG, and SEM.
