DEVELOPMENT OF GEOPOLYMER COMPOSITES WITH BIOPOLYMERS REINFORCEMENT

Huge amount of industrial wastes being discharged from various industries. These industrial waste like fly ash, bottom ash and blast furnace slag could be further utilized and synthesized as geopolymer to reduce pollution to the mother earth nature. Geopolymer has been a great promising green altern...
