About This Topic

Nowadays, the balanced management of natural resources and use of waste materials are becoming more and more important topic taking into consideration the principles of circular economy. It is also the important factor for research on new, innovative material solutions such as geopolymer composites.

This Special Issue aims to attract original contributions in topics related to geopolymer composites, especially their mechanical properties and characterization. It covers wide aspects of issues, including:

• the preparation of geopolymer materials (especially using natural or waste materials),

• assessment of the possibility of using selected reinforcement for geopolymer composites,

• analysis of the influence the amount of reinforcement on the structure and mechanical properties of geopolymer composites,

• the characterization of geopolymer composites,

• the application of geopolymer composites in different areas, especially as an environmentally friendly construction material,

• comparison the new material with conventional materials for selected applications.

We really believe that this Special Issues will summarize the current state-of-the-art in the field of geopolymer composites and it will be a source of new ideas resulting in the development of the knowledge about materials as well as the applications of geopolymer composites.

Keywords

geopolymer characterization; mechanical properties of geopolymer; material testing; geopolymer composite
