Abstract

Geopolymers have the advantages of low carbon, being environmentally friendly and low price, which matches the development direction of building materials. Common geopolymer materials are also known as two-part geopolymers (TPGs). TPGs are usually prepared from two main substances, which are formed by polymerization of a silicoaluminate precursor and an alkaline activator solution. The TPG has many limitations in engineering application because of its preparation on the construction site, and the use of solid alkaline activator in one-part geopolymers (OPGs) overcomes this shortcoming. However, the brittleness of OPGs such as ceramics also hinders its popularization and application. The properties of the new OPG can be improved effectively by toughening and strengthening it with fibers. This review discusses the current studies of fiber-reinforced one-part geopolymers (FOPGs) in terms of raw precursors, activators, fibers, physical properties and curing mechanisms. In this paper, the effects of the commonly used reinforcement fibers, including polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber, polypropylene (PP) fiber, polyethylene (PE) fiber, basalt fiber and other composite fibers, on the fresh-mixing properties and mechanical properties of the OPGs are summarized. The performance and toughening mechanism of FOPGs are summarized, and the workability, macroscopic mechanical properties and durability of FOPGs are investigated. Finally, the development and engineering application prospect of FOPGs are prospected.
