For nearly a century, geopolymers have been used for construction, ceramics, fireproofing and other industrial applications. One of their most promising applications, in radioactive waste management, ...
Researchers at TU Darmstadt are proposing geopolymers as an alternative to cement. These mineral binders are not only more environmentally friendly, they are also more resistant to chemicals and high ...
We know the beginning: dead sea life on the bottom of the ocean. And we know the end: petroleum, the result of heat and intense pressure acting on that organic matter over eons. But exactly how you ...
Concrete is all around you – in the foundation of your home, the bridges you drive over, the sidewalks and buildings of cities. It is often described as the second-most used material by volume on ...

Geopolymers, also known as alkali-activated aluminosilicate cements or binders, were initially discovered in the early 20th century. Over time, they have been progressively developed for various ...
Dr. Dan Perera from UNSW gives us an introduction to geopolymers. He explains what they are, their origins, their similarity to organic polymers, their structure, how products are made from ...
