The renowned scientific publisher Springer-Nature has published Prof. J. Davidovits new book entitled: Ancient Geopolymers in South America and Easter Island, available immediately as an e-book and later in print (scheduled for 15 December 2024). Go to:
Ancient Geopolymers: New Book

It is part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Earth Sciences (BRIEFSEARTH).

The book presents the study (with recent updates) on Ancient Geopolymers in South America and Easter Island regions, exploring the artificial nature of the volcanic rocks used in the construction of Easter Island statues. Contrary to the belief that the statues were carved and transported, Davidovits …

Ultimate Proofs Tiwanaku / Pumapunku Megaliths are Artificial Geopolymers

By

On 7 Aug 2018

In Archaeology

At the 10th Geopolymer Camp in 2018, Prof. Joseph Davidovits presented during his annual keynote a brief summary of his last studies on the Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco) / Pumapunku Megaliths. In November 2017, an international team (a geologist from Universidad San Pablo at Arequipa, Peru and a member of the Geopolymer Institute) went on the site to carry on a survey on these stones. After different analysis on thin sections and under an electronic microscope, Joseph Davidovits claims that his team has found “organic matter in volcanic rock“, which is, by nature, impossible. This points to man-made stone and …

Toowoomba, Brisbane West Wellcamp airport, Australia #Wellcamp747

Australia, October 2015.Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport (BWWA), Toowoomba, Queensland, is Australia’s first greenfield public airport to be built in 48 years. BWWA became fully operational with commercial flights operated by Qantas Link in November 2014.

30 years after my invention of Geopolymer cement in USA, at Lone Star Industries (Pyrament cement), this project marks a very significant milestone in engineering – the world’s largest geopolymer concrete project, so far. BWWA was built with approximately 40,000 m3 (100,000 tonnes) of geopolymer concrete making it the largest application of this new class of concrete in the world. The geopolymer concrete developed …

TWO OFFICIAL GEOPOLYMER CONFERENCES SCHEDULED EVERY YEAR
At the January 2009 Daytona Beach conference, Professor Joseph Davidovits (Geopolymer Institute, France) and Professor Waltraud Kriven (University of Illinois, USA) agreed to organize two official complementary and different conferences, every year:
– one located in the USA , in January, at Daytona Beach, Florida, Geopolymer Symposium within the Frame of the ICACC International Conference on Advanced Ceramics and Composites. This is a regular conference for scientists.
– the second in Europe, in July, in Saint-Quentin, France, the GeopolymerCamp: it is a gathering, a workshop, not a traditional conference.

Révolution Géopolymère en marche

By

On 9 Nov 2011

In Information

Je suis heureux de constater comment la science des géopolymères, que j’ai fondée il y a 33 ans, donne lieu à des développements et innovations touchant le grand public. Ainsi, BASF, la World Chemical Company, assure une promotion importante de la technologie géopolymère. Dans un article précédent posté à l’Institut Géopolymère et daté du 24 Mars, 2011, nous avions présenté le nouveau produit géopolymère de BASF, le joint PCI-GEOFUG (allez à BASF). Entre temps, la société introduit cette nouveauté dans les principales foires et expostions internationales, partant de l’Allemagne, le Royaume Uni, puis maintenant la France, Paris, à BATIMAT …

I am happy to see how Geopolymer science, which I founded 33 years ago, is generating applications and innovations dedicated to the general public. BASF, the world Chemical Company is strongly promoting geopolymer technology. In an older post posted in the Geopolymer Institute on 24 March, 2011, we introduced the geopolymer grout PCI-GEOFUG (go to BASF). Meanwhile, the company presents it at various international fairs and expositions, starting from Germany over UK, and presently in Paris, at BATIMAT (8 Nov., 2011). It is interesting to follow the arguments outlined in the company technical brochures dedicated to this geopolymer grout …
