Geopolymers, Hospital Glass Waste
A student that has a background in materials and has the knowledge to produce, assess and characterize the mortars produced (chemical, mechanical and microstructural).
All relevant results will be published in international journals and presented at national and international conferences. In addition, if these materials perform well, the patentability of any new results will be considered before any public disclosure.
The training is needed to characterize the geopolymer mortars incorporating hospital glass waste.
This thesis will focus on the production of geopolymer mortar produced with glass hospital waste to provide a new approach towards sustainability in which industrial waste products will be used to replace OPC as a binder completely. An overview of the geopolymer concrete mortar will be done to replace metakaolin partially with hospital glass at different substitution rates. This work will focus on the mechanical (compressive strength); chemical and microstructural characterization of the hardened mortars.
