BN-modified hemp nanofibers (PVA-mBN/Hemp) were produced via electrospinning and incorporated into geopolymer mixtures at varying ratios ranging from 0 to 4 wt%. T…
This study aims to optimize the physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of 100% Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) based geopolymer wood-composite panels. Pine fibers were utilized as the primary reinforcement matrix, while glass and hemp fibers were introduced as secondary reinforcements at varying proportions (3%, 6%, 9% by weight). The research investigated the effects of fiber pretreatments (hot…
Open article record in new tab ↗This study examines the thermal insulation capacity, mechanical performance, and high-temperature resistance of geopolymer composites reinforced with 5%, 10%, and 20% hemp fiber. This research aims to develop sustainable, high-performance construction materials with enhanced thermal efficiency and structural integrity. Thermal conductivity, compressive strength, and flexural strength tests were conducted on geopol…
Open article record in new tab ↗In this study, the aim was to improve the mechanical and durability properties of kaolin clay (KC)-based soil by stabilizing it with geopolymer and natural fiber. In the production of the geopolymer, rice husk ash (RHA) was used as a binder, sodium metasilicate (SMS) as an activator, and another hemp fiber (HF)was used for soil stabilization. Within the scope of the presented study, RHA and SMS were used at three…
Open article record in new tab ↗New restrictions on carbon dioxide emissions and electricity consumption are currently being introduced around the world. Innovative solutions are being adopted in many countries to reduce CO2 emissions and material and energy consumption. The present work is related to the study of innovative binders based on geopolymers for the production of layered building envelopes. The binders are reinforced with composite b…
Open article record in new tab ↗The use of natural fibers in reinforced composites to produce eco-friendly materials is gaining more attention due to their attractive features such as low cost, low density and good mechanical properties, among others. This work thus investigates the potential of waste abaca (Manila hemp) fiber as reinforcing agent in an inorganic aluminosilicate material known as geopolymer. In this study, the waste fibers were…
