GEOSUMAT Participation at the ICNAAM 2024 Conference
The 22nd International Conference on Numerical Analysis and Applied Mathematics (ICNAAM) took place in Heraklion, Crete, September 11-17, 2024.
At the ICNAAM 2024 conference, Petr Hotěk (Czech Technical University in Prague) presented the research results of the GEOSUMAT project. The paper “Self-heating Experiment of Multifunctional Geopolymer Board Based on Metashale with Graphite Powder Admixture” (authors: Petr Hotěk, Lukáš Fiala) introduced the concept of designing multifunctional geopolymers with application potential in the field of floor heating.
The design process of the self-heating tile made of a geopolymer mixture shown in the pictures below.
