Geopolymeric materials: new materials, processing and gaps
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Geopolymeric materials are a class of inorganic materials formed through geopolymerization - a chemical process in which aluminosilicate materials react with alkaline activators to form a three-dimensional, amorphous, and inorganic polymer network. Geopolymeric materials exhibit cementitious properties similar to those of traditional Portland cement but with several advantages, including lower carbon emissions and improved durability, making them useful in various construction and building applications of modern times. The specific conditions, activators, and precursors used in the geopolymerization process can be adjusted to tailor the properties of the resulting material to meet specific engineering and construction requirements.
This Collection welcomes original research papers on all aspects of new materials, processing and gaps related to geopolymeric materials.
This collection supports and amplifies research relates to SDG 9.
