Resumo

The growing concern with sustainability and the search for alternatives to conventional construction materials have driven interest in innovative technologies, such as geopolymers. Geopolymers are cementitious materials that have gained prominence due to their unique properties and potential to reduce the environmental impact of the construction industry. Unlike Portland cement, which is produced from the calcination of limestone and clay, geopolymers can be manufactured using various industrial waste materials, such as fly ash, blast furnace slag, and metakaolin. The applications of geopolymers in construction are diverse, including the production of building materials such as concrete and mortar, surface coatings, thermal insulation, and soil stabilization. A particularly promising application is the production of geopolymeric ceramic tiles, which offer benefits such as higher mechanical strength, durability, and chemical resistance. This paper explores geopolymers as a sustainable option in the construction industry, addressing their properties and applications in flooring, with a specific focus on the use of metakaolin as a base, as well as the regulations governing their production and use. This study utilized the Scopus database to assess publications on geopolymers applied to flooring. The search was limited to scientific articles, using the keywords: "TITLE-ABS-KEY ('geopolymer AND floor') AND (LIMIT-TO (DOCTYPE, 'ar'))," with the results analyzed in terms of the number of documents per year, country, area, and authors, using the "Analyze search results" tool. The search returned 166 articles, with 2022 being the year with the highest number of publications on the subject. The growth in the number of publications follows a second-order polynomial function, with a correlation of 0.5587. This increase is related to the growing interest in geopolymer concrete properties and its use as an alternative and sustainable resource compared to Portland cement. The data were saved in RIS and CSV formats and organized into TXT files with titles and abstracts of the articles. Word clouds and frequency distributions were generated using the Voyant tool, while VOSviewer was used to analyze the RIS files. A Python script was developed to examine the TXT files. The analysis reveals growing interest in the use of geopolymers in construction, demonstrating their potential as a sustainable solution, particularly in ceramic flooring, driven by the search for alternatives to Portland cement.
