  • Strength and Durability Enhancement in Geopolymer Mortar Incorporating Nano-silica and Nano-GGBFS
    R. A. Shivasakthivadivelan, M. G. Geena, L. Reena, C. Manoj Prabhu, E. Kavitha, S. Brindha
    Journal of Environmental Nanotechnology, 2025
    The construction sector is facing an increasing number of challenges due to the substantial carbon footprint associated with cement production, which significantly contributes to global CO₂ emissions. Geopolymer compounds are emerging as a sustainable alternative, as they reduce the necessity for cement while achieving comparable or better performance. Recent developments in the incorporation of nanomaterials into cementitious systems have demonstrated substantial improvements in microstructural densification, durability, and strength. Nanoparticles, such as nano silica (NS) and nano-GGBFS (N-GGBFS), accelerate geopolymerization, optimize pore structure, and improve the interfacial transition zone, resulting in improved mechanical and durability properties. The present research explores geopolymer mortar (GPM) and analyzes the influence of nanomaterials on its fresh and hardened properties. The inclusion of nanoparticles not only accelerated early strength development but also enhanced long-term performance by diminishing porosity and bolstering resilience to environmental degradation. The results indicate that nanomodified geopolymer mortar is a feasible, environmentally sustainable option for construction, aiding in the decrease of greenhouse gas emissions while upholding superior performance standards.
  • Performance of Eco-Sustainable Geopolymer Mortar with Neem Fibre

    IFAC Papersonline, 2025
    In recent years, a new and innovative inorganic cementitious material, the geopolymer binder, has emerged, offering mechanical properties comparable to conventional concrete of concrete and successfully lowering the emission of CO 2 and environmental pollutants during the production of cementitious composites. Furthermore, the geopolymer matrix can be reinforced with natural fibres which offer extra advantages including increased tensile and flexural strength, decreased density, and better thermal and acoustic insulation qualities. Therefore, this investigation is mainly focused on usage of neem fibre as natural fibre in geopolymer mortar with 50% of Fly-Ash (FA)and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) each. The mortar was taken in the ratio of 1:3 with the two different molarities of 10M and 12M. The neem fibre of length 20mm was chosen. The neem fibre was added in the percentage of 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1. The experimental work is carried out on 10 different mix combinations to examine the workability properties, compressive and flexural strength of mortar and durability performance compared with cement mortar. The mortar mix with 12M alkali concentration and 0.5% neem fibre addition exhibited significant compressive and flexural properties.
