Bushfire-Resistant Lightweight Masonry Blocks with Expanded Perlite Aggregate
Fire, 2022 During bushfires, one of the building elements that is directly exposed to embers, radiant heat and direct flames is the “wall” element. This study investigated the feasibility of using expanded perlite aggregate in masonry (i.e., cement) blocks to ...

Aluminum Perlite Syntactic Foams
Materials, 2022 This paper presents the usage of spark plasma sintering (SPS) as a method to obtain aluminum-expanded perlite syntactic foams with high porosity. In the test samples, fine aluminum powder with flaky shape particles was used as matrix material and natural, inorganic, granular, expanded perlite was used as a space holder to ensure high porosity (35–57 ...

Synthesis and Evaluation of Zeolite Surface-Modified Perlite
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2017 Perlite is volcanic glass mainly composed of amorphous aluminum silicate, mainly composed SiO2 and Al2O3 with less impurities such as heavy metals. Amorphous (glassy) perlite is used in lightweight aggregate and insulation.
