abstract = "Geopolymers are relatively new type of inorganic binder materials, which can partly substitute Portland cement. Application of geopolymer binders is very favorable from ecological point of view for two reasons: because of considerably lower amount of carbon dioxide formed during production of geopolymer binders (compared to Portland-cement production) and because waste materials, such as fly ash, can be used as raw material for geopolymers production. One of the most limiting factors for wider use of geopolymers is the fact that production of fly ash-based geopolymers often requires curing at elevated temperature (up to 100oC). This article is focused on investigation of the strength development and changes in the microstructure of fly ash-based geopolymers cured at room temperature up to 180 days. The differences in microstructure between geopolymer samples at different ages were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS) and correlated to the mechanical properties. It was established that the most significant geopolymer strength gain as well as the greatest microstructural changes occurred within the first 28 days of reaction. After this initial period, less significant changes of fly ash-based geopolymer strength and microstructure were observed.",
