地质聚合物作为一种无机聚合铝硅酸盐材料，因其优异的性能在世界范围内得到了广泛研究。由于其特殊的无机缩聚三维氧化物网络结构，使得地质聚合物材料在众多方面具有比高分子材料、水泥、陶瓷和金属更高的高温性能和机械性能。同时，地质聚合物制备过程中的能耗和三废排放量都非常低，因此其对环境友好并且可以很好地被回收再利用，是一种可持续发展的“绿色环保材料”。简要叙述了地质聚合物形成原理、性能特点以及在材料领域的应用，并对地质聚合物研究的未来发展方向进行了分析。

As a kind of inorganic polyaluminosilicate material,a geopolymer has drawn a lot of researchers interests in the world due to itsoutstanding performances. The geopolymer is a kind of promisingly advanced material for its high degree polycondensed network structure and possesses excellent properties，low energy consumption and low toxic wastes emission. So it may beeasily utilized in recycle compared with organic polymers，cements，ceramics and metals. The theory, properties and applications of geopolymer are introduced, and then its development in the future is analyzed.
