.Abstract
Geopolymers are the new advanced materials with high thermal insulation used in construction field. These materials have gain much attention in modern world due to the sustainability and green nature to help environment from more damage. In this research paper, the successful formation of geopolymer material is reported by using available fly ash and egg shell powder. The slurries with flyash, egg shell powder with sodium silicate were prepared. The maximum compressive strength of this material was marked at 11.3925Mpa, bulk density of that sample was 1.67 gcm-3, for a geopolymer having 10% fly ash and 60 % egg shell powder.
