Abstract :One of the improving application areas of geopolymers is their using as an alternative assembly of different materials. This study presents the results of an experimental study on making aluminum panels by using geopolymer as an alternative adhesive to replace typical organic polymers. We prepared a metakaolinbased geopolymer having a composition of Na2O•Al2O3•4SiO2•11H2O. Aluminum alloys (Al 3003), 7 and 15 mm in high and (Al 5005) were used as core and plate materials of the panels, respectively and their surface was cleaned for adhesion bonding according to ASTM D 2651-01. Shear test samples were cut and then geopolymer resin was applied to the cleaned surface of aluminum core and plate by hand. Following hydrothermal sealing, the samples were then cured at 50 °C in an open-air furnace for 36 h under clamp fixed. Aluminum-geopolymer interface and geopolymer bond were examined by SEM-EDS in terms of chemical composition. Ambient temperature mechanical test results revealed that the aluminumgeopolymer bonds have mean shear strength of (1.406 ±1.01 MPa) and (0.133 ±0.07 MPa) for 7 and 15 mm samples, respectively.Keywords : Jeopolimer, Yapıştırıcı, Aliminyum paneller
