Abstract
Geopolymer with its advantages of low density, low cost, mesoporous structure, and excellent thermal properties shows great promise as gas adsorption, aircraft cabin, and heat-resistant materials, and has been investigated as an alternative to polymer composites. However, pure geopolymer has not been widely used in industrial applications as structural material yet because of its overall low toughness and other mechanical properties in comparison to metals or ceramics. Over the past years, various kinds of geopolymer-matrix composites, including particulate, continuous fiber, and short fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites have been extensively investigated. Continuous fiber-reinforced geopolymer composites have generated a great deal of attention due to their adaptability to conventional polymer composites manufacturing techniques. Meanwhile, the high strength and modulus of the fibers can prevent catastrophic brittle failure in composites. In this chapter, continuous carbon fiber and SiC fiber reinforced geopolymer composites were prepared, and the mechanical properties of the obtained composites were reported.
