Parameter optimization for fly ash geopolymer mixtures: molarity, silica modulus, and solution/binder influence
Step 01: solution/binder radio
Figure 3 presents the results of the geopolymer compositions as a function of varying the solution/binder ratio (w/b). It is possible to observe that increasing the solution/binder ratio (w/b) promotes an increase in…
