Effect of PVA/SiO<sub>2</sub> NPs Additive on the Structural, Durability, and Fire Resistance Properties of Geopolymers

This exertion introduces polyvinyl alcohol fiber/silica nanoparticles (poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)/SiO<sub>2</sub> NPs) in the fly ash-based geopolymer at ambient curing temperature. The present study aims at investigating the structural properties (compressive, bond strength, fracture para...
