Abstract

In this paper, the effects of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2) content on the 28-day flexural strength and 28-day compressive strength of Completely decomposed granite (CDG) and slag based geopolymer paste was investigated, using the dry-mixing method. The calcium hydroxide, sodium carbonate and solid sodium silicate were used as the alkali activator. The results show that with the increase of nano-titanium dioxide content increasing from 0 to 2.0%, the compressive strength and flexural strength gradually increase. In addition, the surface of geopolymer paste gradually became smooth. What’s more, the geopolymer paste microstructure was characterized by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) Microanalysis, details of the research process and analysis are presented throughout the paper.
