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 [...]
The atomic ratio Si:Al in the poly(sialate) structure determines the properties and application fields. A low ratio Si:Al (1,2,3) initiates a 3D-Network that is very rigid. A high ratio Si:Al, higher than 15, provides polymeric character to the geopolymeric material. One third of Davidovits’ book, GEOPOLYMER Chemistry & Applications, is dedicated to applications. See the [...]
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 [...]
