Abstract :
One of the concerns of today's industrial societies is to achieve sustainable development through the reduction of waste materials or the decrease in the emission of greenhouse gases such as CO2 which today is stated in many international agreements and requirements for it has been concluded by the agreements between the countries of the world, and due to the increasing trend of global warming it is possible to create more encouraging or binding agreements, therefore many researchers are trying to achieve these goals. There are various ways to reduce the production of greenhouse gases during the construction of parts and building materials, and a significant part of them have been directed towards the production of a new type of environmentally friendly material called geopolymers. This category of materials, which have the ability to use waste materials as raw materials for their construction due to their very good mechanical and chemical properties, has been able to find various applications that, due to their similarity to concrete structures, are suitable alternatives for them as structures and building materials. In the following research, an attempt has been made to study geopolymers from the point of view of their formation, applications and properties.
