#9: Ultra-High Temperature Tooling Material for the Manufacture of Advanced Composites
Ultra-High Temperature Tooling Material for the Manufacture of Advanced Composites SAMPE 1991, 36, vol. 2, pp 1939-1949: Geopolymers of the Poly(sialate-disiloxo) type (- Si-O-Al-Si-O-Si-O -), very-low viscosity inorganic resins, harden like thermosetting organic resins, but have use-temperature range up to 1000°C (1830°F). High-temperature techniques are no longer necessary to obtain materials which are ceramic-like in [...]
#8: Alkaline Cements and Concretes, Properties of Geopolymer cements
1rst International Conference on Alkaline Cements and Concretes KIEV Ukraine, 1994 PROPERTIES OF GEOPOLYMER CEMENTS by Joseph Davidovits published in the Proceedings, pp. 131-149 Geopolymer cement, high-alkali (K-Ca)-Poly(sialate-siloxo) cement, results from an inorganic polycondensation reaction, a so-called geopolymerisation yielding three dimensional zeolitic frameworks. High-tech Geopolymer K-Poly(sialate-siloxo) binders, whether used pure, with fillers or reinforced, are [...]
#7: Concretes for Nuclear Waste and Uranium Waste Containment
Recent Progresses in Concretes for Nuclear Waste and Uranium Waste Containment by Joseph Davidovits published in Concrete International, Vol.16 (12), pp. 53-58 (1994) The main objective in the management of nuclear and uranium radioactive wastes is to protect current and future generations from unacceptable exposure to radiation from man-made materials. This task can best be [...]
#6: Toxic metals immobilisation
Toxic metals immobilisation PART I. Theory and Applications by J.G.S. van Jaarsveld, J.S.J.van Deventer and L. Lorenzen published in : Minerals Engineering, Vol. 10, no. 7, pp. 659-669 (1996) During the last decade geopolymerisation has emerged as a possible technological solution for the effective stabilisation and immobilisation of toxic materials. Despite the fact that this [...]
#5: Global Warming Impact on the Cement and Aggregates Industry
5th International Global Warming Conference San Francisco, 1994 Global Warming Impact on the Cement and Aggregates Industry by Joseph Davidovits published in World Resource Review, Vol.6 (2), pp. 263-278 (1994) CO2 related energy taxes are focusing essentially on fuel consumption, not on actual CO2 emission measured at the chimneys. Ordinary Portland cement, used in the [...]
