Fire-Resistant Geopolymers Role of Fibres and Fillers to Enhance Thermal Properties /

The book covers the topic of geopolymers, in particular it highlights the relationship between structural differences as a result of variations during the geopolymer synthesis and its physical and chemical properties. In particular, the book describes the optimization of the thermal properties of ge...
