On the project

V posledních letech se rozšiřuje využití netradičních cementů a kompozitů. Alkalicky aktivované materiály, zejména pak ty na bázi alkalicky aktivované strusky, mají velký potenciál pro uplatnění ve stavebnictví. Ovšem pojiva na bázi alkalicky aktivované strusky vykazují výrazné smrštění vysycháním, které je za určitých podmínek několikanásobně vyšší než u materiálů na bázi portlandského cementu, a tedy brání širšímu využití těchto materiálů v mnoha praktických aplikacích. Cílem tohoto projektu je tedy studium mechanismu smrštění v alkalicky aktivovaných materiálech, zejména hledání vhodných přísad pro redukci smrštění a jejich syntéza.

Description in English
In the last years, the use of different non-traditional cements and composites has increased. Alkali activated materials, especially those based on alkali activation of blast furnace slag, have considerable potential in construction industry. Alkali activated slag binders exhibit significant drying shrinkage, in some circumstances several times greater compared to Portland cement based materials, which hinders wider use of these materials in numerous applications. Therefore, development of specific organic additives designed for the alkali activated systems is necessary. This project is consequently focused on investigation of shrinkage mechanism in alkali activated materials and targets especially on proposition of suitable shrinkage reducing agents and their synthesis.
