Long term durability properties of concrete modified with metakaolin and polymer admixture [PDF]
, 2018 Previous studies show that both metakaolin (MK) and polymer can respectively improve certain mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Also, recent studies show that a combination of MK and polymer further enhances the mechanical properties by ...

Clays for Low‐Carbon Cements: Overview, Progress, and Challenges
Global Challenges, Volume 10, Issue 1, January 2026.This review provides a critical overview of recent developments of activated clays to function as artificial pozzolans. After a thorough description of the clays that yield good pozzolanic performances, selected examples are given on thermal and mechanical activations. Chiefly, general correlations are extracted from reported data despite its scattered
