Abstract
Research is ongoing to improve the workability, strength, and durability of geopolymer concrete at ambient curing conditions. Investigations into hybrid binders, combining ultrafine fly ash with other pozzolanic materials such as slag or silica fume, may further enhance the performance of geopolymer concrete. Additionally, efforts to reduce the cost of alkaline activators will be critical to the broader adoption of this material. The cost of the alkaline activators used in geopolymer production (sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate) can be higher than traditional cement. The lack of standardized mix designs and guidelines for geopolymer concrete creates challenges in widespread adoption. Heat curing requirements may limit its use in some construction applications, though ongoing research into ambient curing is promising.
