Research activities

Scientific school is a world leader in alkali-activated materials research and product development. Research activities cover:
“Regularities of advanced alkali-activated cementitious materials development which would be similar to natural zeolite-like minerals and determine their durability for the use in both civil engineering (mortars, concretes, composites etc.) and non-civil engineering applications (ship-, machine- manufacturing, metallurgy (adhesives, glues, bonds, etc.), mining industry, immobilization of toxic and radioactive wastes within final products for their long-term safety disposal”.

Research work that can be performed on request of third-party organizations

  • to reveal regularities under which properties of mineral systems of alkaline and alkaline– alkaline earth aluminosilicate composition change;
  • development of advanced cementitious materials and binders that are alternatives to Portland cement, as well as materials of hydration and contact hardening on their basis and ceramic materials using a wide range of natural materials and industrial by-products and wastes;
  • the development of alkali-activated cementitious materials, inclusive of adhesives, glues, with a wide range of special properties (high strength and strength gain, corrosion resistance, fire resistance, heat resistance, acid resistance, high density) intended for the use in civil engineering and non-civil engineering applications, mining etc.;
  • development of an advanced class of cementitious materials for solution of environmental problems such as alkali-activated slag cements using a wide range of secondary materials of aluminosilicate composition (blast-furnace, of heat electric energy generating installations, steel-making, nonferrous and otherslags); ashes of various origin (heat power stations, incineration of municipal garbage etc.), nepheline and bauxite slurries etc.;

Results of scientific research (general)

In the period from 2013 to 2017 were issued: 2 DSTU, 2 TU and 20 patents.
37 articles published in Scopus and Web of Science, 3 monographs abroad, are published in the official language of the EU countries.




In the framework of work with the international consortium Novarka, concrete structures were developed, which was successfully implemented in 2014-2016 for the foundations of the Shelter-2 facility at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
