Electrophoretic deposition of nanostructured-TiO2/chitosan composite coatings on stainless steel
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-03)
Novel chitosan composite coatings containing titania nanoparticles (n-TiO2) for biomedical applications were developed by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) from ethanol–water suspensions. The optimal ethanol–water ratio was ...
Fracture toughness and temperature dependence of Young's modulus of a sintered albite glass
(Elsevier, 2013-03)
Albite glass is an important component in many ceramic compositions, often used as liquid phase during the sintering process. Nevertheless, in spite of its almost ubiquous presence in the final microstructure of these ...
Impact of Feedstock Nature on Thermal Conductivity of YSZ Thermal Barrier Coatings Obtained by Plasma Spraying
(Göller Verlag GmbH, 2016-09)
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) coatings with low thermal conductivity were obtained using three different particle size distributions as starting powder: nano-, submicron- and bimodal submicron/nano-sized particles. On ...
On the underestimated effect of the starch ash on the characteristics of low cost ceramic membranes
(Elsevier, 2016)
Starches are commonly used as a pore generator in the fabrication of low-cost ceramic membranes, since they are cheap, innocuous, environmentally friendly and easy to burn. Nevertheless, the influence of starches residues ...
Porcelain tile: Almost 30 years of steady scientific-technological evolution
(Elsevier, 2010)
Despite the great global significance of porcelain tile manufacture, the scientific activity in porcelain tile's almost 30-year existence does not match the importance of the business. Although scientific output has been ...
Polishing of Porcelain Tiles in Industrial- and Laboratory-scale
(German Ceramic Society, 2013)
This work reports the design and use of a laboratory-scale tribometer and a new developed tool-holder to reproduce the industrial polishing process for ceramic tiles in laboratory-scale. The mechanical conditions in a ...
Reactores catalíticos de membrana para la eliminación de nitratos
(C & M Publicaciones, 2015-01)
El objetivo del proyecto es desarrollar un sistema eficaz para eliminar los nitratos presentes en aguas subterráneas, en procesos de potabilización, transformándolos en nitrógeno mediante una reacción de hidrogenación ...
A study of the influence of TiO2 addition in Al2O3 coatings sprayed by suspension plasma spray
(Elsevier, 2015-09)
In this work, five different concentrations of a mixture of TiO2/Al2O3 nanopowders in an alcoholic suspension at 10wt.% solid content were sprayed by Suspension Plasma Spraying on steel discs. The influence of the presence ...
Modeling microstructural damage of silicate-based ceramics and its influence on macroscopic fracture strength
(Elsevier, 2014-05-15)
The aim of this work is to clarify the influence of quartz inclusions added to a vitreous matrix on the macroscopic fracture toughness (KICKIC). We use numerical simulations to model a silicate-based ceramic material as a ...
Effect of particle size distribution of suspension feedstock on the microstructure and mechanical properties of suspension plasma spraying YSZ coatings
(Elsevier, 2015-04)
In this work, aqueous suspension feedstocks with different particle size distribution from submicron- and nano-sized YSZ powders were prepared. A previous colloidal characterisation allowed concentrated suspensions (~ 40 ...
