We are preparing a new book publication: Geopolymer Brick Technology which will be published in 2024 in the Elsevier Science & Technology Book series.
Editors | Ildiko MERTA, Prof. doc. Dr.techn. Dipl.-Ing. Md Zia ul HAQ, PhD |
The publication is a comprehensive guide to the latest developments in geopolymer brick technology. Written for both practitioners and researchers in the field of construction and materials science, the book covers the properties, production, and applications of geopolymer bricks. With a focus on durability, strength, and thermal performance, the book provides readers with a thorough understanding of the benefits of using geopolymer bricks over traditional bricks and the ways in which these innovative materials can contribute to sustainable building practices. |
