Materials for the Third Millennium
Think Geopolymer and Geosynthesis!

The last few years have seen spectacular technological progress in the development of geosynthesis and geopolymeric applications.
New state-of-the-art materials designed with the help of geopolymerisation reactions are opening up new applications and procedures, and transforming ideas that have been taken for granted in inorganic and mineral chemistry.
Since the [...]

External repair and structural retrofit for aging infrastructure and aging buildings

Infrastructure in the United States such as bridges are degrading due to the corrosion of steel-reinforced concrete by salty water and deicing compounds. A relatively new and little known repair method for concrete and brick structures, consists of externally bonding flexible sheets [...]
