Abstract: The invention concerns dry particulate compositions for forming a geopolymer, comprising an aluminosilicate containing mineral, a polymeric additive, an alkali metal silicate, and an alkali metal hydroxide. The invention concerns processes of making geopolymers, the geopolymers, as well as the use of the dry particulate compositions in the formation of geopolymers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an anti-breaking element comprising a geopolymer, a process for preparing an anti-breaking element, the process comprising: a) providing the skeleton of an anti-breaking element; b) preparing a geopolymer formulation; c) casting the geopolymer formulation of step b) into the skeleton of the anti-breaking element of step a); and d) optionally, removing the skeleton. The present disclosure further relates to the use of a geopolymer as part of an anti-breaking element.

Abstract: A method for determination of the behavior of a reactive mixture intended for obtaining a geopolymer. The reactive mixture comprises at least one aluminosilicate material. The method includes determining a proportion of amorphous phase of the at least one aluminosilicate material and determining a degree of wettability of the at least one aluminosilicate material. If the proportion of amorphous phase is greater than 45% and if the degree of wettability is situated in a range between 300 ?g/l and 1400 ?g/l, then the reactive mixture, formed by the reaction of the at least one aluminosilicate material with an alkaline solution, forms a geopolymer.
