New Geopolymers Discovered with Metahalloysite and Alumoxy Acid-based

Published 2024-07-11
Join us for an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in geopolymer science with Professor Joseph Davidovits at the 16th Geopolymer Camp. In his annual keynote, "State of the Geopolymer R&D 2024," Professor Davidovits discusses the evolution of geopolymer research, emphasizing recent developments in polysialate-based and alumoxy-based geopolymerization. He explains the detailed chemical mechanisms and structural formations from primary to quaternary levels and highlights innovative applications of high-strength 3D-printed geopolymer ceramics. This presentation, rooted in research dating back to 1976, offers a thorough overview of the current state and future direction of geopolymer technology. Whether you are an experienced scientist or new to the field, this keynote provides valuable insights into the unique thermal stability and potential extraterrestrial applications of geopolymers.

  • A novel, potential, building material that is light weight, strong and non-toxic. This should be on every major news network around the world.
  • @WilloPax
    Thank you for sharing these two exciting breakthroughs! I am eager to explore the potential applications of these new advancements, which appear to surpass those of traditional alkali-based geopolymers.
  • Mr Davidovits cant thank you enough for all Your work and contributions to this field such great implications of this technology and also answers many mysteries from our past ! Thank you sir

    Algún día tendrá su merecido Novel en química, espero sea pronto y tenga el gusto de recibirlo personalmente. Saludos Maestro.

    Wow.. what a treat to hear from the man himself!
  • This is a very interesting, but also important story. It says a lot about what science/archaeologists thought they knew until now. Didn't know your son also did research, very nice to hear that. Thanks for the presentation!

    Bravo, Joseph. This is a truly monumental achievement! Congratulations and may you enjoy your successes and accolades.
  • What a wonderful budding science. Amazing developments will surely follow.

    Wow! I want to check out the ceramic geopolymer 3D printing. Maybe our history could last! So does this potassium ceramic have the ability to pass through the high Kelvin heat of the Van Allen Belt in space?
  • @BobWidlefish
    Thank you for publishing this and your work generally.
  • Excellent work. Could certainly assist space transport mechanism and lunar base construction resources. Congratulations to you and your son and the mighty global teams developing this science.

    I will tell you an incredible story. I learned about plastics, but this is not my main profession, I deal with automation. Yesterday I was telling my girlfriend how many inventions can be traced back to the crash in Roswell in 1947 from the wreckage of an alien UFO, and I told her that the transistor was 'invented' right after optical fiber data transmission, ferrite ring memory, and metal-plastic composite materials. And that the paper-sized, millimeter-thick, feather-light piece of outer casing of the spaceship that I had in my hands in 1978 was a SCi-Fi meeting, where a UFO researcher friend of mine showed it, and that's when I heard about the crashed UFO for the first time. He also said that according to the spectroscopic analysis, it is a composite material with an ALU plastic composition, and that earthly technology cannot yet produce such a thing. And now YouTube has brought this video among the first recommendations. So far, I have called it composite material, because it is not my area of ​​expertise, but as I watched the video, I immediately saw that this is the same material that I had in my hands then, 46 years ago, as a piece of the crashed UFO. Later, at school, I was taught that metal and organic plastic cannot be mixed, although I claimed that of course, no one believed me. I believed in him all along. However, this video is the proof that the UFO cover piece at 21:40 really could not be of terrestrial origin, because at that time science did not yet know the possibility of making such materials according to what was said in the video. Perhaps it is not a coincidence that in 2012 Arizona State University is analyzing such a composite material. A UFO crashed in Arizona in 1947 Quite a few decades passed before it was possible to decipher what the material was. Consequently, for the first time in the world, I would recommend using it as a spaceship casing, herewith!!! 14:00 because it has a tensile strength that can withstand enormous pressure, we already knew this in 1978, because what is now your scientific world sensation is news, it was already measured then. At that time, no one could produce this high-pressure, heat-resistant, 20:14, and a vacuum-resistant, special structural material that can withstand the cold of outer space. Thank you very much for this presentation, I was able to make sure that they really found the wreckage of a UFO in the desert. ...and this is the point: 20:24 for Lunar, Space, and EXTRATERRESTRIAL APPLICATIONS And here is the proof that aliens visited the Earth 4,500 years ago: 25:48 AL-O-X artifacts from ancient Egypt 2500BC, artificial stones And this is the product of high-level earth science achieved 4,500 years later: 27:32 unbreakable ceramic sample
  • Joseph needs to go on the Joe Rogan podcast and present his geopolmer theory on the birth of the pyramids. Most people think they were built with elephants or aliens.
