Physical, Compressive Strength, and Microstructural Characteristics of Alkali-Activated Engineered Composites Incorporating MgO, MWCNTs, and rGO by Mohammad Ali Hossain, Khandaker M. A. Hossain

“…The effects of material variables, namely binary or ternary combination source materials (fly ash C or F and ground granulated blast furnace slag ‘GGBFS’), two types of reagents with varying chemical ratios and dosages of additives (from 0 to 5% MgO and from 0 to 6% MWCNT/rGO), on the physical (slump flow, flow time, flow velocity, and density), hardness (compressive strength from 0 to 180 days and 28-day ultrasonic pulse velocity ‘UPV’), and micro-structural (SEM/EDS, XRD and FTIR) properties were evaluated. All these variables, individually or combined, influenced the properties and microstructural aspects of AAECs. …”
