석탄재로부터 제조된 지오폴리머에 골재를 첨가하여 시멘트와 동일하게 모르타르와 콘크리트를 제조하는 것이 가능하다. 잔골재의 특성이 지오폴리머 모르타르와 콘크리트에 미치는 영향에 대해 체계적으로 검토한 연구는 많지 않기 때문에 잔골재의 광물조성, 형상, 표면, 입도, 밀도 및 흡수율 등을 평가하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 석영, 운모, 장석, 휘석 등의 광물 조성을 이루고 -0.60mm에서 +0.30mm까지의 입자크기가 전체의 96%이며 표면이 거칠고 각진 형상을 보이는 주문진 표준사와 대부분 석영으로 -1.40mm에서 +0.60mm까지의 입자크기가 전체의 51%…

Most of the toxicity assays were developed for the evaluation of conventional drug compounds in vitro. In fact, researchers have realized that not all cytotoxic and genotoxic assays are appropriate for the evaluation of nanoparticle toxicity as several nanoparticles are capable to interfere with these methods. For ins…
