The document summarizes research on geo-polymeric materials. Very little research data is available on these materials. Past research mostly used small binder and mortar samples. Some conclusions were contradictory. Tests on fly ash-based geo-polymer showed that curing temperature, time, and type of activator affected compressive strength, while the solution-fly ash ratio did not. Higher curing temperatures and activators with soluble silicates produced higher strength than those with hydroxides alone.
How to write an effective paragraph with example
- 1. EFFECTIVE PARAGRAPH WRITING PRESENTED BY: 2015-CIV-111 HAMZA WAHEED
- 2. Very limited research data about geo-polymeric material is available in the literature. Most of the past research on the behavior of geo-polymeric material was based on the binder paste or mortar using small size samples. In addition, some of the conclusions are contradictory. Based on the laboratory tests on fly ash-based geo-polymer binder, Palomo, Grutzeck, and Blancon have shown that the curing temperature, the curing time, and the type of activator affected the compressive strength. While, the solution-to-fly ash ratio was not a relevant parameter. Increase in the curing temperature increased the compressive strength. The type of alkaline activator that contained soluble silicates resulted in a higher reaction rate than when hydroxides were used as the only activator.

The type of alkaline activator that contained soluble silicates resulted in a higher reaction rate than when hydroxides were used as the only activator. Time defining transitional Words Transition (adding information)
- 7. Unity All the sentences are related to compressive strength of geo-polymeric material. Important factors affecting compressive strength are also described. Based on the laboratory tests on fly ash-based geo-polymer binder, Palomo, Grutzeck, and Blancon have shown that the curing temperature, the curing time, and the type of activator affected the compressive strength. While, the solution-to-fly ash ratio was not a relevant parameter.
- 8. Actual words/phrases/sentence Possible Changes The type of alkaline activator that contained soluble silicates resulted in a higher reaction rate than when hydroxides were used as the only activator. In brief/Hence/thus, Research on geo- material showed that type of activator and curing temperature are main factors affecting compressive strength. In-addition, Further-more, Moreover, Besides While, Whereas, On the other hand, likewise Very, Most of . Intensifiers could be avoided by simple phrases as too much intensification can be informal. Very limited research about geo-polymeric material is available in literature. Study of geo-polymeric materials has not been in the peripheral research of past researchers. The curing time, the curing temperature, and the type of activator Use of too much “the” could be avoided.
