    Characteristic properties of fly ash-based self-compacting geopolymer mortars with synthetic wollastonite microfiber produced from silica and calcite
    (Consejo Superior Investigaciones Cientificas-Csic, 2022) Oz, H. O.; Unsal, D.
    This study investigated the fresh, physical, and mechanical properties of self-compacting geopolymer mortars (SCGs) with synthetic wollastonite microfiber (SWM). SCGs were designed with Class F fly ash (FA) as a binder by activating it with Na2SiO3 and NaOH solutions. First, SWM was produced in the laboratory. Alkali ratios were determined as 1.5, 2.0, and 2.5, whereas SWM percentages were utilized as 0%, 4%, 8%, and 12% by weight of the binder. After geopolymer mortars were cured at 80 oC and 100 oC for 24 hours, respectively, they were kept at room temperature until testing age. The compressive strength, flexural strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity, dynamic modulus of elasticity, water sorptivity coefficient values, and physical characteristics of SCGs were tested at the end of the 28th day. The highest compressive strength value was obtained as 28.9 MPa for SCG-1.5-8 cured at 100 oC, while 6.5 MPa was measured as the highest flexural strength for SCG-2-12 cured at 80 oC.

    The effects of synthetic wollastonite microfibers on PVA fiber-reinforced engineered geopolymer composites
    (Consejo Superior Investigaciones Cientificas-Csic, 2024) Oz, H. O.; Gunes, M.
    In this study, first, synthetic wollastonite microfiber (SWM) with a high aspect ratio (44:1) was produced with a special three-stage production method. Then, fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag-based engineered geopolymer composites (FA+GGBFS-based EGCs) were developed. SWM was used in different proportions instead of FA. The compressive strength of EGCs, changed in the range of 88.1-111.1 and 95.1-122.6 MPa at 7 and 28 days, respectively. Additionally, EGCs containing 6% SWM performed the best, considering both increasing deformation capacity and maintaining the bearing strength by fiber bridging after crack, since they acted like a fiber owing to the acicular particle structure of SWM. Moreover, it can be said that the presence of the SWM mineral in the pore system, ensured pore discontinuities in the matrix because of its acicular particle structure. Consequently, the mechanical, durability and dimensional stability properties of EGCs improved with SWM.
