Microstructure assessment of suspension plasma spraying coatings from multicomponent submicronic Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC particles
(Elsevier, 2018-08-01)
In this research, Suspension Plasma Spraying (SPS) technique was used for the thermal deposition of a multicomponent mixture made up of an Y-TZP/Al2O3 matrix with SiC particles. Two suspensions of Y-TZP and Al2O3 with ...
Environmental profile of Spanish porcelain stoneware tiles
(Springer, 2018-08)
Purpose
Porcelain stoneware tile (PST) iscurrently the ceram-
ic tile of greatest commercial and innovation interest. An envi-
ronmental life cycle assessment of different varieties of PST
was undertaken to enable ...
Effect of fructose-containing feedstocks on the microstructure of multicomponent coatings deposited by suspension plasma spraying
(Elsevier, 2019-04)
This work addressed to investigate the use of fructose as an additive in the water-based suspension feedstock of a Y-TZP/Al2O3/SiC multicomponent coating manufactured by suspension plasma spraying. The effect of fructose ...
Testing the performance of one and two box models as tools for risk assessment of particle exposure during packing of inorganic fertilizer
(Elsevier, 2019)
Modelling of particle exposure is a useful tool for preliminary exposure assessment in
workplaces. However, actual exposure measurements are needed to assess models
reliability. Worker exposure was monitored during packing ...
Workplace Exposure to Nanoparticles during Thermal Spraying of Ceramic Coatings
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-01)
Thermal spraying is widely used for industrial-scale application of ceramic coatings onto metallic surfaces. The particular process has implications for occupational health, as the high energy process generates high emissions ...
On the Relationship between Exposure to Particles and Dustiness during Handling of Powders in Industrial Settings
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01-07)
Exposure to ceramic powders, which is frequent during handling operations, is known to cause adverse health effects. Finding proxy parameters to quantify exposure is useful for efficient and timely exposure assessments. ...

(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 ...
Microstructural and in vitro characterisation of 45S5 bioactive glass coatings deposited by Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying (SPPS)
(Elsevier, 2018-12-20)
The present work focused on the development of bioactive glass coatings employing Solution Precursor Plasma Spraying. Precursors of SiO2, CaO, Na2O and P2O5 were mixed in distilled water to prepare concentrated solutions ...
Effectiveness of nanoparticle exposure mitigation measures in industrial settings
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
Inhalation of airborne nanoparticles is a well-known source of potentially health-hazardous occupational exposures. Effective mitigation measures are necessary to reduce exposure, but also challenging to implement due to ...
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 ...
