It is a review on what happened in 2019 and the first semester of 2020 on geopolymer science and applications. In his keynote, Prof. J. Davidovits developed following topics:
- Geopolymer Science:
- Fith edition fo the book Geopolymer Chemistry and Applications (2:15)
- Metakaolin mechano-chemistry in pre-industrialized scale (4:28)
- Ferro-sialate Geopolymers, Al3+ is partially replaced by Fe3+ (8:00)
- Standards for Testing Metakaolin MK-750 (11:26)
- Phosphate-based geopolymer (exothermicity and molecular structure) (15:23)
- Long-term durability, Ancient Roman cement, recent study confirms our claim (18:40)
- Geopolymer Fiber Composites, fire resistant door for aircraft cabin safety tested (23:10)
- Geopolymer Technologies:
- List of 35 real world geopolymer commercial applications (32:22)
- Geopolymer Cements and Concretes:
- CO2 from coal burning in power plants is still increasing (39:10)
- Using fly-ash is to promote a mega emission of CO2 that has been overlooked by experts (40:50)
- Forget about Fly Ash, go with Ferro-sialate geopolymer concrete! (49:05)
- Geopolymer and Archaeology:
- After Pumapunku, Bolivia, next project for Cuzco, Peru (49:52)
