Alkali activated slag foams: The effect of the alkali reaction on foam characteristics

Same amount of premade foam with the same density is added to three different mix formulations of alkali activated slag binders, and the impact of alkali reaction on foam characteristics is investigated. It is shown that characteristics of the inorganic foams don't have to be controlled by the quality and quantity of pre-made foam blended with them. It is possible to control the density and properties of inorganic binders by manipulating their mix formulation.
