The geopolymer binder is gaining prominence as an eco-friendly alternative to ordinary Portland cement (OPC), aiming to decrease CO2 emissions during the manufacturing of OPC. Geopolymers, which are mineral-based polymers formed from materials rich in silicates and aluminates, undergo a complex proc...
