Open-cell mullite ceramic foams derived from porous geopolymer precursors with tailored porosity

Jiahuan Shao et al.

Summary: Porous geopolymer precursors were prepared using bauxite, fly ash, and metakaolin as raw materials, and porous mullite ceramics were obtained after ion exchange and high-temperature sintering. The concentration of blowing agent, ion-exchange time, and sintering temperature were found to have significant effects on the properties of the mullite ceramics. The resulting mullite foams exhibited a similar open-celled porous structure to the starting geopolymer precursors and had high porosity and compressive strength.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of K/Al ratio on the thermo-mechanical properties of geopolymer composites. The results showed that increasing K/Al ratio led to a decline in mechanical properties, except for a local maximum at a K/Al ratio equal to one. Additionally, it was found that for thermal applications above 600°C, it is better to use samples with lower K/Al ratios (0.55 or 0.70).
