Geopolymer Conferences calendar 2012
TWO OFFICIAL GEOPOLYMER CONFERENCES SCHEDULED EVERY YEAR At the January 2009 Daytona Beach conference, Professor Joseph Davidovits (Geopolymer Institute, France) and Professor Waltraud Kriven (University of Illinois, USA) agreed to organize two official complementary and different conferences, every year: – one located in the USA , in January, at Daytona Beach, Florida, Geopolymer Symposium within [...]
Milestone paper IUPAC 1976, in the LIBRARY
Several geopolymer scientists asked me to make available for free download in the LIBRARY, my first paper presented at the IUPAC Symposium on Long-Term Properties of Polymers and Polymeric Materials. This symposium held in Stockholm, Sweden, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, 1976, had a session Topic III dedicated to New Polymers of High-Stability. I had [...]
Artificial Pyramid Stone: new analysis
A new scientific analysis demonstrates the artificial nature of Egyptian Pyramid stone. The article titled: “Were the casing stones of Senefru’s Bent Pyramid in Dahshour cast or carved? Multinuclear NMR evidence” was published in Materials Letters 65 (2011) 350–352, by an international team of scientists involving Kenneth J.D. MacKenzie (MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and [...]

Who is doing research on geopolymers?
There are now hundreds of labs and institutions throughout the world doing fundamental and applied research on geopolymers. Some of them are listed at Doing research on geopolymers.
Geopolymer Camp 2011 Registration
Registration are still running until July 1. It is still time to register. Registrations are running well and we are confident that this third Geopolymer Camp will be a success. You’ll have 3 days for learning, presenting, sharing, chatting, at super saver-cost. We have decided to break down the infernal spiral of costs that is [...]
GeopolymerCamp 2011 Announcement
Mark your calendars and plan on being in Saint-Quentin, France, on Tuesday 5.- Wednesday 6. July 2011 for the third GeopolymerCamp (registration on Monday 4. afternoon). Why? To get geopolymer fans together, learn from each other, figure out the future of geopolymer applications and chemistry, and have a good time. You’ll have 2 days for [...]

World-wide increase in geopolymer research
Twenty five years long, geopolymer science was studied in very few laboratories and institutions. It is only during the last five years that we notice a strong increase in geopolymer research. The actual situation was presented by Prof. J. Davidovits in his 2010 Geopolymer Camp Keynote: State of the Geopolymer 2010. The following map shows [...]
