Short Bio:
Mohd Mustafa Al Bakri Abdullah, currently he is Professor at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and Dean for Faculty of Chemical Engineering & Technology. Area of expertise are concrete processing and testing, geopolymer concrete, green concrete, composite, ceramic, and polymeric concrete. Between 2005 and April 2021, he was appointed several positions such as College Principal, Deputy Dean (Students Affair), Dean (Centre of Diploma Studies, Director (Research Management Centre) and the highest position is an Acting Deputy Vice Chancellor (Research & Innovation) starting 2020 until May 2021. He was awarded Top Research Malaysia (TRMS) in 2013 and received several awards from international and national organizations based on his geopolymer research. Now he is one of the specialists in the geopolymer field and established Center of Excellence Geopolymer & Green Technology (CEGeoGTech), UniMAP the only geopolymer center in ASEAN. This center is number one in ther world for geopolymers based on publications. He also has research funding and collaboration with King AbdulAziz City Science & Technoloy (KACST) Saudi Arabia, European Commission, University of Plymouth UK, Liverpool John Moores University UK and also with few more universities from Greece, Poland, Romania and Indonesia. His achievements include more than 725 journal publications based on Scopus Database (with 41 h-index), and more than 35 books and 40 patents of his research product. He has appointed as Visiting professor at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA) Malaysia and Universitas Ubudiyah Indonesia. Also appopinted as Research Advisor to State University of Makassar Indonesia and Associate Researcher in Technical University of Iasi (TUIASI) & Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania and University of Chemical Technology and Metallurgy (UCTM), Bulgaria
RECENT PROGRESS IN GEOPOLYMER CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS RESEARCH: PROCESSING AND PERFORMANCE
Abstract The development of geopolymer research is to step ahead towards searching for green materials with the purpose to minimize or replace the use of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) and emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2). The production method applied is significant and user and eco-friendly with lower consumption of energy. The potential of source materials in a wide range of slag, natural clay, waste and natural Al–Si minerals possibly will provide as potential source materials for the production of geopolymer. current research on geopolymer demonstrates how geopolymer products display superior properties good for many applications including as a new building materials (lightweight concrete, insulating concrete, lightweight brick, lightweight aggregate, a new steel fiber reinforced concrete), a new materials for road base application, as a repair materials, a new materials for corrosion application, a new filler in piping application, as underwater concrete materials, a low sintering temperature ceramic, as reinforced material in solder alloy, lightweight ceramic application and also high strength paste application. The advancement made in the various research of science and technology has helped us to have equivalence or a better quality of existing product. The characteristic and performance of geopolymer products has proved for better thermal insulation properties, higher fire resistance, lower processing temperature, low permeability, good chemical resistance, excellent in acid and salt environment.

Invention is the key to promoting human development and social progress, solving various problems we encounter in our daily life; „invention” exists like a „dream”. WIIPA hopes that everyone has the right to realize their dreams. WIPA Our mission is to make more people’s dreams come true, and the right to realize dreams is not limited to students, we also expect people in the community to learn for life and then practice inventions dream.
