Geopolymer Is Being Widely Used In Various Industries Including Aerospace, Automobile, And Container Sector
Geopolymer is a versatile material that has numerous practical applications and has developed a lot of desirable physical characteristics. It is composed of various complex polymer blends which can be formed into strong and lightweight materials. It is also capable of high tensile strength and compressive strength. The physical properties of Geopolymer material have enabled its wide range of application and have been in wide use in a number of industries. It has become one of the most important building materials and is used in aerospace, automobile, boat, and container industries.
Geopolymer is inorganic, meaning that
it is composed of inorganic elements. Polymers can be of different types with
each having its own specific physical characteristics. Geopolymer is comprised
of many types of silicates and ionic compounds. Geopolymer is covalent in
nature and exhibits exceptional electro-physical and chemical behavior. Ceramic
and alumino-fluoro-ammonium blends are a commonly found component of some
Geopolymer blends.
Geopolymer is manufactured through
the process of transmission, where large particles of the material are
deposited on a fiber. The particles of the material are then mixed with a
liquid carrier solution, which in turn produces the finished product. There are
two main types of fibers produced through this process; polyethylene fibers and
polypropylene fibers. They are the most commonly used fibers. Polyethylene
fibers are coated on both sides with a resin that serves as a protective layer
against abrasion and moisture. Geopolymer is known for its extreme durability
and tensile strength. It is commonly used in aerospace industries as tie rods,
nose cones, wing nuts, and a variety of other fastening components. It is also
used in the construction of marine ships as wheel hubs, rope ladders, and
windlasses. Recently, in November 2020, NTPC-Ramagundam developed geopolymer
aggregate from fly ash
