Geopolymers are emerging “green” materials for its low embodied energy and carbon footprint, and its potential to valorize wastes, such as coal fly ash. It is an inorganic cementitious material formed from the polymerization of aluminosilicates in an activating solution such as that of alkali hydrox...
