The Geopolymer Institute is introducing a series of training courses on Geopolymer Chemistry, Geopolymer Science and related Applications. The 2-day and 3-day courses will be held at the Geopolymer Institute, Saint-Quentin, France (one and half hours drive North of Paris), with low-rates Hotels in the vicinity. The first series of courses start on April 01. [...]

Professor Joseph Davidovits is proud to announce the release of his book entitled: GEOPOLYMER CHEMISTRY AND APPLICATIONS with ca. 590 pages and 26 Chapters.
The photo shows the first printing for proof-reading. We expect to get the first exemplars printed for the end of February 2008. The first edition of the book will be sold [...]

A low cost, easy to produce solution

The geopolymer LTGS brick is an ideal construction technology for emerging countries, because it offers many characteristics that fulfils the population demands.
This brick uses a very cheap material available in great quantity: lateritic clay earth. This special and abundant earth, mixed with a simple geopolymer binder is compressed to [...]

Geopolymeric Cross-Linking (LTGS) and Building Materials
Geopolymer’88 Proceedings, Vol. 1, pp. 79-88
“Réticulation Géopolymérique et Matériaux de Construction”
In English:
After a concise presentation of the chemical principles governing the LTGS geopolymeric cross-linking with the main mineralogical components of soils, earths and clays, the authors present their experiments for a rational use of lateritic materials. Several tests were carried [...]

LTGS, acronym for Low Temperature Geopolymeric Setting, is a low cost, easy to produce solution, for the making of bricks out of soils and laterites.
The geopolymer LTGS brick is an ideal construction technology for emerging countries, because it offers many characteristics that fulfils the population demands.
This brick uses a very cheap material available in great [...]
