Abstract

This chapter provides a background to the scope of this book and a comprehensive review of the latest advances in geopolymer composites reinforced with natural fibres and nanofillers. The influence of adding various natural fibers and nanofillers on the mechanical properties of these composites is reviewed. The synthesis, structure and properties of these reinforced composites and nanocomposites are also described. Potential applications, challenges, and future directions of these composites are highlighted.
