Influence of solids concentration on the microstructure of suspension plasma sprayed Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC composite coatings
(Elsevier, 2019)
The present research focuses on the effect of feedstock suspension solid concentration on the microstructure of suspension plasma sprayed Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC composite coatings. For this purpose, concentrated aqueous suspensions ...
Revisiting pyroplastic deformation. Application for porcelain stoneware tile bodies
(Elsevier, 2018-09-21)
In this research an analysis of firing deformation tendency in porcelain stoneware tile compositions was carried out based on pyroplastic deformation measurements. The effect of the amount and nature of some fluxing additives ...
Non-isothermal sintering of powdered vitrified composites. A kinetic model
(Elsevier, 2019)
This report sets out the results obtained on studying the sintering process of glass–zircon composites,
analysing the microstructural changes that developed on modifying zircon content. The sintering of composites with ...
Low-cost ceramic membranes: A research opportunity for industrial application
(Elsevier, 2019-03)
Obtaining low-cost ceramic membranes has attracted great interest in the scientific community in last years, as it allows to preserve the advantages of ceramic materials while significantly reduce their manufacturing costs. ...

Effect of secondary thermal treatment on crystallinity of spinel-type Co(Cr, Al)2O4 pigments synthesized by solution combustion route
(Elsevier, 2018-03)
The effect of a post-synthesis thermal treatment on CoCr2−2ΨAl2ΨO4 (0.0 ≤ Ψ ≤ 1.0) ceramic pigments synthesized by Solution Combustion Synthesis (SCS) has been studied. As-synthesized SCS pigments were treated at two ...
Nanoparticle formation and emission during laser ablation of ceramic tiles
(Elsevier, 2018-12)
Pulsed laser ablation (PLA) is a widely used technology, for surface structuring and tile decoration in the ceramic industry. During PLA, nanoparticles (NP <100 nm) are unintentionally released and may impact exposure. ...
Complete Characterization of Thermoelectric Materials by Impedance Spectroscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2019-05-01)
Thermoelectric materials can directly convert waste heat into electricity. Because of the vast amount of energy available as waste heat in our society, these materials could contribute to reduce our dependence on fossil ...
Modeling of High Nanoparticle Exposure in an Indoor Industrial Scenario with a One-Box Model
(MDPI, 2019-05)
Mass balance models have proved to be effective tools for exposure prediction in occupational settings. However, they are still not extensively tested in real-world scenarios, or for particle number concentrations. An ...
