Funded Activity Summary

Design of Advanced Geopolymeric Materials Based on Nanostructural Characterisation and Modelling. Geopolymers are a class of advanced aluminosilicate materials primarily utilised in the construction and building products industries, where their application as a replacement for ordinary Portland cement provides the potential for highly significant Greenhouse gas emission reductions. Australian research has led to the increasingly widespread commercial use of this technology in a range of areas. Development of a full understanding of the exact chemical structure of geopolymers is essential to finding and developing new applications for these materials as well as maximising their use in known applications.
