Abstract: The effects of nano-SiO2 on the setting time, fluidity and mechanical properties of fly ash-based geopolymer were investigated systematically. The microstructure of the system was tested by XRD, SEM and thermal analysis methods to investigate the polymerization of nano-SiO2 to fly ash and the mechanism of modification of the substance. The results show that the incorporation of nano-SiO2 is a decrease in the fluidity of the system, and the condensation time is shortened, and the greater the amount of the addition, the more noticeable the effect. Nano-SiO2 can improve the early compressive strength of fly ash-based geopolymer, and the suitable content of nano-SiO2 is 1% (mass fraction). The nano-SiO2 increases the compressive strength of the fly ash-based geopolymer through chemical reaction, particle filling and seed nucleation.
