Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | Slag valorisation Symposium, Mechelen, 01-05/04/2019 | Abstract: | Calcium (alumino)silicate-based cements are currently used for shielding and nuclear waste storage. However, these materials can present several drawbacks concerning durability and immobilisation. Therefore, alternatives such as Inorganic Polymers (IPs) are increasingly being studied. The effects of gamma irradiation on mechanical properties of IPs were evaluated by means of compressive strength tests. A significant increase in compressive strength was observed for all the samples with a total absorbed dose above 5 kGy irrespective of the applied dose rate. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/28257 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
