Abstract

TNowadays, the global warming is the most serious problem in the world and the cement industry is one of the factors which are responsible for it. Therefore, the development of new binders with enhanced environment and durability performance is needed. In this regard, the geopolymer technology is one of the breakthrough developments as an alternative to the portland cement. This paper shows some points of view on the development of geopolymers by reviewing previous researches including historical background, constituents of geopolymers, process of geopolymerization and several applications of geopolymer. Hence, the author proposes two research trends which are finding the best combination between the source materials and alkali liquid then, evaluating the corrosion for the metal bars.
