A Review on Geopolymer Technology for Lunar Base Construction. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2022 Geopolymer is a synthetic amorphous aluminosilicate material that can be used as an inorganic binder to replace ordinary Portland cement. Geopolymer is produced by mixing aluminosilicate source materials with alkali activators and curing the mixture either at ambient or low temperatures.

Leveraging in situ resources for lunar base construction [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering, 2022 We explore the limits of in situ resource utilization (ISRU) on the Moon to maximize living off the land by building lunar bases from in situ material. We adopt the philosophy of indigenous peoples who excelled in sustainability. We are interested in leveraging lunar resources to manufacture an entire lunar base in such a fashion that is fully ...
