Episode 43: Geopolymers
Manage episode 297606201 series 2478220
Geopolymers are a unique class of materials that may offer a solution to environmental issues in the industrial sector including cement substitutes that produce only one-ninth of the CO2 as Portland cement. In this episode we talk about how they work and what, if anything, they have to do with the ancient pyramids.
Articles Discussed:
- 2007 Khale and Chaudhary, Mechanism of geopolymerization and factors influencing its development: a review [LINK]
