State of the Geopolymer 2011
It is a review on what happened in 2010 and the first semester of 2011 on geopolymer science and applications. In his keynote, Prof. J. Davidovits developed following topics:
1) Geopolymer science
- Geopolymer Conferences
- Exponential increase of laboratories and scientific publications
- Book “Geopolymer Chemistry & Applications” 3rd edition
- 15 research topics on geopolymer science and technologies
- Sol-gel processes and metakaolin synthesis
2) Geopolymer technologies
- BASF introduces geopolymer product for general public
- Czech scientists develop geopolymer catalyst for automobile
- F1 racing cars and geopolymer high-tech composite
- High-temperature structural geopolymer fiber composite
- Several patents for industrial applications: Inomat,Dow, etc..
- Applications for medical / pharmaceutical uses.
3) Geopolymer Cements / Concretes
- Terminology, infringement, legal points in the Internet
- Long-term durability of geopolymer cement PYRAMENT
- Lafarge CO2 reduction by 25% compared to geopolymer cements: 65 to 90 % CO2 reduction
- New standards: ASTM symposium 2012
- Special GP-cement applications: passive cooling in cities,
- Energy reduction in ceramic manufacture
- LTGS bricks and clay-geopolymer (illite based!)
4/ Geopolymer and archaeology
- Japonese Fuji-TV-show on building the pyramid with agglomerated geopolymer stone, with Prof. Ikeda
- Two small tunnels (shaft) from Cheops pyramid are prefabricated geopolymer limestone concrete
