Geopolymer and epoxy simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network composition, and methods for the same

摘要

A simultaneous interpenetrating polymer network—geopolymer epoxy composition includes a first component comprised of a waterborne epoxy curing agent, an aluminosilicate source, and an amorphous silica, and a second component comprised of an epoxy resin and an alkaline silicate solution. The two components are mixed to produce a SIN-GE composition that cures at ambient temperatures. The SIN-GE composition may be a low-viscosity, sprayable composition, or may be a higher-viscosity composition. The compositions may be used as coatings, adhesives, mortars, casting materials, and the like.
