title = "Structural ordering of aged and hydrothermally cured metakaolin based potassium geopolymers",
abstract = "This study evaluates the potential correlation between natural aging and hydrothermal curing (accelerated aging), related to the crystallisation of zeolites in potassium-based metakaolin geopolymer binders. 7-year old sealed-cured specimens, formulated with varying silicate contents, were evaluated. The effect of different accelerated aging durations on the mineralogy of these potassium-based geopolymers was also assessed. The results show that although zeolite formation is favoured under both natural and accelerated aging in potassium-based geopolymers, different types of zeolites are formed depending on the silicate content added to the mix, and the curing conditions of the specimens.",
