Characterization and mechanical properties of geopolymer materials using kaolin and white clay for coating application

Geopolymer exhibit a wide variety of properties in various applications including coating. Geopolymer as inorganic coating has good bonding structure of amorphous inorganic polymer which has excellent bonding agent properties and form at low temperature compare to organic coating. The use of new sou...
