An international patent # WO 2004/026698 has been published on the making of fire-resistant containers. One of the inventors is Andrew Foden, former member of the geopolymer group at Rutgers University, Professor P. Balaguru, USA, and co-author of several papers on fire-resistant geopolymer composites.
The geopolymer group at University of Illinois, Prof. W. Kriven, participated to the Center for Microanalysis of Materials (CMM) image contest with an image titled: 10. Vitrification of 3SiO2:Al2O3:K2O:10H2O geopolymer gel by heating to 1600°C. Crystallization of the glass systems was dendritic as seen by in micrograph of the top surface.
