Resumo: Geopolymers are aluminosilicate inorganic polymers, obtained from the alkali activation of powders containing SiO2+Al2O3>80wt%, mainly proposed as environmentally friendly building materials. In this work, metakaolin-based geopolymers have been prepared and a water-soluble polymer, polyethylene glycol (PEG), has been added in different percentages to obtain organic-inorganic hybrid geopolymers. The influence of both the polymer amount and aging time on the structure and the mechanical behavior of the materials were investigated. FTIR spectroscopy allowed us to follow the evolution of the aluminosilicate framework during the geopolymerization process. This analysis revealed that PEG leads to a network which is rich in Al-O-Si bonds and forms H-bonds with the inorganic phase. SEM microscope showed that the two phases are interpenetrated on micrometric scales. Traction and bending tests have been carried out on appropriate samples to investigate the mechanical behavior of the obtained hybrids, showing that both PEG content and aging time affect the material behavior.
