Abstract This research targets to produce new composites from a highly reactive metakaolin‐based geopolymer matrix reinforced with natural particles for use in sustainable ceramics, building and construction. Commercial waterglass added mineral were optimized provide higher strength, stability, durability. The design method implicated flexural strength of one type commercial metakaolin, formulation, single‐low‐energy processing, seven types particles. particulate reinforcement formulations the were: (1) 20 wt% chamotte 40 Prairie fine sand; (2) Quikrete medium (3) (4) ball‐milled (5) sand (6) (7) 10 50 sand. Potassium metasilicate Kasolv 16 11 M water, Metamax sand, (BF20PF40) resulted highest composite. BF20PF40 also yielded lower mass loss, packing density, better thermal stability.
