- Warning about fake geopolymer conferences
- Part 4 of Davidovits’ campaign “why alkali-activated materials are not geopolymers?”
- Legal and Patent issue against BASF.
- Metakaolin MK-750, Chemical Reactivity
2) Geopolymer technologies
- Introduction to Geopolymer Route to High-Temperature Ceramics
- Geopolymer Composites (with a special session at the Geopolymer Camp)
3) Geopolymer Cements / Concretes
- Problems with slag GGBS
- Self-Healing geopolymer cements
- How to control setting time
- The invalid NASH / KASH terminology
4) Geopolymer and archaeology
- Non-destructive analysis on 11 Egyptian blue faience tiles from the 2nd and 3rd Dynasties
- Manufacturing Djoser’s faience tiles at temperatures as low as 250°C
