Synthesis of geopolymer using metakaolin (MK) usually requires a relatively high curing temperature, which limits the application of MK-based geopolymers in the practice of civil engineering.With the goal of developing a cementitious composite that can be cured at room temperature, in the present study, ground granulated blast furnace slag powder was incorporated into MK for the synthesis of a geopolymer. With the aid of compressive strength tests, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and scanning electron mi...
