Geopolymer Institute

On January 14th, 2007, we celebrate the 11th anniversary of the Geopolymer Institute Website. It is the first time we share this event with you, dear visitors. You are reading the first source of geopolymer science and we thank you for making it a success.
We would like to share with you a piece of the [...]

To scientists working on geopolymers:
You have published a scientific paper on geopolymers? Send us its references so that we will include it in the publications list.
The Geopolymer Institute Web site is the reference in this topic and has a big success. It is an excellent promotion tool for this new science, worldwide. This is reflected [...]

In Sept. 2004, at the IXth International Congress of Egyptologists, Grenoble, France, Prof. Joseph Davidovits and Dr. Frederic Davidovits presented several papers depicting the chemical knowledge of the Egyptians involved in pyramid building.
One was dedicated to the manufacture of the famous blue faience tiles, like those adorning the subterranean galleries of the Djoser Step-Pyramid at [...]

Hundreds of companies around the world are using or have studied geopolymers. Hundreds of universities and research centers are studying it. It is easy to verify:
Check on the internet at Google.com and enter the word “geopolymer”: more than 5000 pages are indexed.
The interest in this chemistry is becoming big.

We have added 3 important papers in the Library : the two keynote papers presented by Prof. Joseph Davidovits at the GEOPOLYMER 2002 Conference, Melbourne, October 28-29 2002 (#16 and #17) and one paper #18 on Fly Ash Concrete from the Rangan geopolymer group at Curtin University of Technology, Perth.
