An overview of advances in geopolymers formed by the alkaline activation of
aluminosilicates is presented alongwith opportunities for their use in building construction …

Geopolymers are inorganic materials that result from the alkali activation of aluminosilicates.
The aluminosilicates source materials can either occur naturally (eg kaolin, metakaolin, rice …

The low carbon footprint and superior properties of geopolymer make it a potentially suitable
alternative to ordinary Portland cement, which has been one of the dominating research …

The incessant production of cement has increased the amount of CO 2 being released into
the atmosphere; thus, aggravating the issue of global warming which has an adverse effect …
