Recent advances and productivity analysis of 3D printed geopolymers
Source abstract
Abstract
The latest trends of sustainability have introduced environmentally friendly materials and green technologies in the construction sector. However, these materials and technologies are not fully adopted due to certain limitations in their practical applications. In this concern, extensive research has been conducted on the geopolymer materials and additive manufacturing technologies for construction sector in the last decade. The application of geopolymers in 3D printing was first introduced in 2016 which has provided a state of the art sustainable dimension to the construction industry. Reasonable investigations have been conducted in this direction in the recent few years. The focus of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of the productivity of 3D printed geopolymers. The productivity of 3D printed geopolymers of the previous research is categorized into rheological, physical and mechanical characteristics. Effects of distinct variables including minerals, activators, reinforcement, printing and post-processing have been analyzed on the fresh and hardened properties. This review provides an extract for the productivity from the recent studies to present a complete picture from various perspectives of input variables and response measures. Based on the critical analysis and findings, this review study offers a future direction for the current research field to ensure the practical applications of 3D printed geopolymers in the construction industry.
