Abstract

The state-of-art of polyaluminosialates is reviewed in terms of inorganic 〈mers〉 showing the composition, degree of netting, function of modifying atoms and the role of non-bridging oxygen as well as hydroxyl groups (biocompatibility). The polymeric condensation is compared with the vitrification of glasses upon cooling. The replacement of Si by P is discussed as well as the analogous precipitation process of amorphous hydrous silica (opal). Progress of geopolymers and biopolymers usefulness is shown within the framework of generalized world of macromolecules screening hundred contemporary citations. Pultrusion technology is presented, capable to produce composite geopolymers reinforced by basalt fibers staying suitable for mechanical applications.
