Characterisation and properties of metahalloysite-based geopolymer composites with micro/nano-Fe 3 O 4 contents: effect of the mixing procedure
Key Points
The aim is to characterize metahalloysite-based geopolymer composites with varying iron powder sizes and mixing methods.
Examined micro- and nano-sized iron powders','Analyzed the mixing procedures used for geopolymer composites
Assessed fresh and hardened properties of the composites
Identified differences in properties based on iron powder size
Demonstrated that mixing procedure significantly affects composite strength
Revealed potential for optimizing geopolymer materials through adjustments in iron content and mixing
Abstract
In this study, the effects of micro- and nano-sized iron powders, as well as the mixing procedure, on the fresh and hardened properties of metahalloysite-based geopolymer composites were investigated.
