Abstract

Geopolymers produced from aluminosilicate materials such as metakaolin and coal ash react with alkali activators and show higher fire resistance than portland cement, due to amorphous inorganic polymer. The percentage of thermal shrinkage of geopolymers ranges from less than 0.5 % to about 3 % until $600^{\circ}C$, and reaches about 5 ~ 7 % before melting. In this study, geopolymers paste having Si/Al = 1.5 and being mixed with carbon nanofibers, silicon carbide, pyrex glass, and vermiculite, and ISO sand were studied in order to understand the compressive strength and the effects of thermal shrinkage of geopolymers. The compressive strength of geopolymers mixed by carbon nanofibers, silicon carbide, pyrex glass, or vermiculite was similar in the range from 35 to 40 MPa. The average compressive strength of a geopolymers mixed with 30 wt.% of ISO sand was lowest of 28 MPa. Thermal shrinkage of geopolymers mixed with ISO sand decreased to about 25 % of paste. This is because the aggregate particles expanded on firing and to compensate the shrinkage of paste. The densification of the geopolymer matrix and the increase of porosity by sintering at $900^{\circ}C$ were observed regardless of fillers.

지오폴리머는 메타카올린 혹은 석탄재와 같은 알루미노실리케이트 원료를 알칼리 활성화제와 반응시켜 제조된 비정질 무기 폴리머로서 포틀랜드 시멘트보다 우수한 내열성을 보인다. 지오폴리머의 고온 수축률은 $600^{\circ}C$까지는 0.5 %이하 ~ 3 %정도이며 용융되기 전까지 총 수축률은 5 ~ 7 %정도이다. 본 연구는 Si/Al비 1.5인 지오폴리머 페이스트에 탄소 나노 섬유, 탄화규소, 파이렉스 유리, 질석 및 ISO 표준사를 첨가하여 지오폴리머의 압축강도와 고온 수축에 미치는 효과를 알아보았다. 탄소 나노 섬유, 탄화규소, 파이렉스 유리와 질석이 첨가된 지오폴리머의 압축강도는 35 ~ 40 MPa범위로 유사하였다. ISO 표준사를 30 wt.% 첨가한 지오폴리머 모르타르의 평균 압축강도는 28 MPa로 가장 낮았다. ISO 표준사를 첨가하면 압축강도는 감소하였고 고온 수축률은 페이스트 수축률의 약 25 %까지 감소되었다. 이는 석영이 대부분인 잔골재 입자가 팽창하여 지오폴리머 겔 조직의 수축을 보상하였기 때문이다. 충전재의 종류와 관계없이 $900^{\circ}C$ 가열 후 지오폴리머 겔 조직은 소결현상에 의해 치밀해졌다.
