ceramics and geopolymers

Enhancing the porosity and surface area of geopolymers

Geopolymers are inorganic, ceramic-like, materials that form long-range, covalently bonded, non-crystalline (amorphous) networks. These materials are synthesized from reactive aluminosilicate precursors and alkali solutions. As such, they have a slew of applications under their name: for instance, commercially produced geopolymers may be used Get price
