Abstract: In this paper, metakaolin with different particle size distribution was prepared by mixing two kinds of raw materials with different mass ratios, then the metakaolin base polymer was prepared.Rheological and fluidity testing methods, combined with setting time test and mechanical property test, were used to study the influence of raw material particle size on the working properties and mechanical strength of alkali-excited metakaolin base polymer.Finally, morphology analysis, isothermal adsorption and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used to characterize the cross-section morphology, pore structure and reaction degree of the geopolymer.The results show that the increase of metakaolin particle size can significantly improve the flow performance of the geopolymer slurry, but also significantly prolong the setting time of the slurry.With the increase of raw material particle size, the mechanical strength of geopolymer solidified body decreases monotonically for 1 d.The mechanical strength of the solidified body at 3 and 7 days did not show obvious change rule.
