Fundamental research into the geopolymerisation process is increasing rapidly because of the potential commercial application of this technology. Despite this, however, very little work has been undertaken to determine the relationship between composition and temperature on the final chemical and ph

✦ Synopsis
The effect of the mechanical activation of fly ash on the properties of the geopolymers cured at ambient temperature has been studied. Mechanical activation of the fly ash results in particle size and morphology changes with concomitant increase in reactivity with alkaline liquid. Addition of free water in the reaction mix decreases mechanical properties of the geopolymer samples. After 28 days, compressive strength of the room temperature cured samples was 16 (2) MPa and 45 (8) MPa for unmilled and mechanically activated fly ash based samples, respectively.

## Abstract Composites containing 50 wt.‐% fly ash in a PP homopolymer were prepared via batch mixing and compression moulding. The following coupling agents were evaluated: Lubrizol Solplus C800, __N,N__′__‐__(1,3‐phenylene)dimaleimide, γ‐methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and maleic‐anhydride‐gra
The effect of fineness of fly ash on mechanical properties and alkali-silica reaction resistance of cement mortar mixtures incorporating fly ash has been investigated within the scope of this study. Blaine fineness of fly ash has been increased to 907 m 2 /kg from its original 290 m 2 /kg value by a
