Geopolymer: A Biomimetic Material for Biomedical and Biotechnological Applications
Geopolymer Geopolymer is a material that can mimic the structure and function of natural biological materials such as bone, cartilage, shell, coral, and wood. Inorganic polymer is an inorganic polymer that is formed by activating aluminosilicate materials such as fly ash, slag, metakaolin, and rice husk ash with alkaline or acidic solutions. The expanding building and construction sector is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the Geopolymer Market . Inorganic polymer has a three-dimensional network of covalent bonds that gives it a high thermal stability, mechanical strength, and chemical resistance. Inorganic polymer can also be modified with various organic or inorganic additives to tailor its properties and performance. Inorganic polymer can be used for various biomedical and biotechnological applications, such as: Bone tissue engineering: Inorganic polymer can be used as a scaffold for bone tissue regeneration and repair. Inorganic polymer can mimic the composition, structure, and...
