Abstract
  Research describes softwood – pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and spruce (Picea abies [L.] Karst) and hardwood – birch(Betula pendula Roth) binding with inorganic geopolymer binder, the main focus is on the softwood and geopolymerbinding principles. Geopolymer binder is formed from calcined clay ...  Read More
