Abstract

The chapter delves into the advantages of using geopolymers as environmentally friendly binders to replace Portland cement, with a focus on metakaolin (MK) as a primary precursor. It discusses the properties and benefits of MK, such as improved workability, mechanical strength, and durability in cement systems. The chapter also summarizes and analyzes previous research on the influence of MK on different types of geopolymers, providing valuable insights into the potential of MK as a sustainable alternative in the construction industry.
