- The corrosion resistance provided by AACM concrete (geopolymer) to steel reinforcement is a key requirement for its commercial success. This paper reports comprehensive research to resolve this concern. Funding was received from the UK-India Newton Bhabha project for rice waste valorisation (EPSRC, EP/P026206/1), the Tertiary Education Trust Fund, Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Global challenges research fund-UKRI. The licensee of our AACM research, C-Probe Ltd., has been granted the US patent 10,677,056 for using the AACM as an ICCP anode lining/addition to precast concrete and reconstructed existing concrete structures for corrosion prevention/remediation. Patents are awaited from EC and Australia.
