    Abstract

    Geopolymers are versatile materials, often made with ash from coal Power Stations. Applications include low green-house-gas emission cement, fireproof barriers and many more. This thesis furthered the understanding of geopolymer formulation by: • Demonstrating novel methods for mixture design and determining the degree of reaction during and after curing. • Analysing the role of formulation on cost and green-house-gas emission. • Developing a new material that can be used for structural neutron shielding.

    Curtin would like to pay respect to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members of our community by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which the Perth campus is located, the Whadjuk people of the Nyungar Nation; and on our Kalgoorlie campus, the Wongutha people of the North-Eastern Goldfields.
