The conference series titled Geopolymers: From Theory to Global Industrialization started on October 06, 2016, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT, USA, followed by several seminars held at University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign (USA), US Army Corps of Engineers (USA), Tokyo (Japan), Hong Kong (China), Arequipa (Peru) and Santiago (Chile), as well as a Keynote at Geopolymer Camp 2017 (Saint-Quentin, France).
This 1h30 presentation is divided in two parts: the first part develops the basic knowledge in the geopolymer chemistry, focusing on the true polymeric nature of the system compared to others, and why it is important; the second part introduces 35 real world commercial applications that are available today worldwide in ceramics, coatings, binders, grouts, composites, and cements with hundreds of jobs and millions of USD of annual revenues. The speakers were Joseph Davidovits and Ralph Davidovits, both from Geopolymer Institute.
