Geopolymers Properties and Applications

"Geopolymers presents a complex and interdisciplinary study in the field of physics, chemistry, materials science, and civil engineering on oxide materials based on mineral wastes, known as geopolymers. Considering the ideal requirements for developing eco-friendly materials for industrial applications, the book describes how to design and develop different types of geopolymers that use mineral wastes or natural aluminosilicates as raw materials. It contains advanced knowledge and information regarding geopolymers manufacturing, development, characterization, and their applications in soil stabilization, civil engineering, or ceramics. The book is relevant for undergraduate and graduate students conducting fundamental and applied research in the fields of materials engineering, ceramics engineering, and water processing"--
