Abstract

Diverse application for geopolymer so called inorganic polymer have been expanded as potential to continue growing at a realistic rate where the properties, processing tolerance and economical are comparable with the existing materials. An aluminosilicate inorganic polymer can be produced at low temperature under highly alkali conditions from a solid aluminosilicate and an alkali silicate solution. The conversion of amorphous to semi-crystalline behaviour of geopolymer into crystalline phases upon heating make the method be an alternate way in producing ceramic materials. For another application related to high temperature packaging and enclosure of electronical devices, piezoelectric behavior turn out to be important properties to the geopolymer ceramic materials. This paper summarize the review on the important research findings on the basic geopolymer systems, current knowledge of geopolymer ceramic, and outline potential piezoelectric effect on ceramic materials.
