Monitoring of historical structural materials with computed tomography
Abstract Computed tomography (CT) is an excellent tool to solve certain engineering problems connected to material science (such as sulfate swelling, internal degradation due to freezing, and alkali silicate swelling) and to understand specific processes (frost peeling, acid action).

Crystallization behavior of zeolite beta from acid-leached metakaolin
Well-crystallized zeolite beta was synthesized by using acid-leached metakaolin as the silica-alumina source and tetraethylammonium hydroxide structure-directing agent. The influence of the composition of the reaction mixture on product crystallinity was

Bacterial healing of cracks in metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete exposed to high temperatures
Abstract This study examined the bacterial healing of metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete modified with colemanite (K) and red mud (RM) exposed to high temperatures. The metakaolin‐based geopolymer concrete samples modified with 4% K and 6% RM were prepared.

Geopolymers are presented as a chemically programmable platform whose properties emerge from activation chemistry, nanoscale disorder, and interfacial design. The review highlights sustainability challenges, the shift toward nanoengineered and hybrid systems, and the rise of halloysite‐based architectures enabling tunable structures across scales for ...

Metakaolin as an Additive in Composite Cement [PDF]
Metakaolin made from kaolin is used around the world but rarely in Vietnam where abundant deposits of kaolin is found. The first studies of producing metakaolin were conducted with high quality Vietnamese kaolins.
