Microstructure and mechanical, physical and structural properties of sustainable lightweight metakaolin-based geopolymer cements and mortars employing rice husk

This work focuses on an in-depth investigation of the formation of pores in the structure of lightweight geopolymer cements and mortars using rice husk as a foaming agent. The hardener used in this study was sodium waterglass. Metakaolin was replaced by 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 % by mass of husk and the...
