Geopolymer Conferences calendar 2012
TWO OFFICIAL GEOPOLYMER CONFERENCES SCHEDULED EVERY YEAR At the January 2009 Daytona Beach conference, Professor Joseph Davidovits (Geopolymer Institute, France) and Professor Waltraud Kriven (University of Illinois, USA) agreed to organize two official complementary and different conferences, every year: – one located in the USA , in January, at Daytona Beach, Florida, Geopolymer Symposium within [...]
Geopolymer Revolution on the Move
BASF, the world Chemical Company is strongly promoting geopolymer technology. In an older post dated of 24 March, 2011, we introduced the geopolymer grout PCI-GEOFUG (go to BASF). Meanwhile, the company presents it at various international fairs and expositions, starting from Germany over UK, and presently in Paris, at BATIMAT (8 Nov., 2011). It is [...]

Milestone paper IUPAC 1976, in the LIBRARY
Several geopolymer scientists asked me to make available for free download in the LIBRARY, my first paper presented at the IUPAC Symposium on Long-Term Properties of Polymers and Polymeric Materials. This symposium held in Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, 1976, had a session Topic III dedicated to New Polymers of High-Stability. I had [...]
World-wide increase in geopolymer research
Twenty five years long, geopolymer science was studied in very few laboratories and institutions. It is only during the last five years that we notice a strong increase in geopolymer research. The actual situation was presented by Prof. J. Davidovits in his 2010 Geopolymer Camp Keynote: State of the Geopolymer 2010. The following map shows [...]
Introduction: developments and applications in geopolymer
Materials for the Third Millennium Think Geopolymer and Geosynthesis! The last few years have seen spectacular technological progress in the development of geosynthesis and geopolymeric applications. New state-of-the-art materials designed with the help of geopolymerisation reactions are opening up new applications and procedures, and transforming ideas that have been taken for granted in inorganic and [...]
Artificial Pyramid Stone: new analysis
A new scientific analysis demonstrates the artificial nature of Egyptian Pyramid stone. The article titled: “Were the casing stones of Senefru’s Bent Pyramid in Dahshour cast or carved? Multinuclear NMR evidence” was published in Materials Letters 65 (2011) 350–352, by an international team of scientists involving Kenneth J.D.
