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 ...
Calcium carbonate thermal decomposition in white-body wall tile during firing. I. Kinetic study
(Elsevier, 2010)
This study examines the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate, contained in disk-shaped test pieces formed from a mixture of raw materials of a similar composition and characteristics to those of the mixtures customarily ...
Porous single-fired wall tile bodies: Influence of quartz particle size on tile properties
(Elsevier, 2010)
This study examines the effect of quartz particle size in raw material composition customarily used for the manufacture of porous single-fired wall tile bodies on the characteristics of the green tiles and on the thermal ...
Obtainment of bactericidal inkjet inks based on Ag-nanocomposites
(German Ceramic Society, 2013)
In this study, ceramic inks were formulated that are able to develop bactericidal properties and are appropriate for application by inkjet printing. These inks contain silver nanocomposites and are applied on to unfired ...
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 ...
Calcium carbonate decomposition in white-body tiles during firing in the presence of carbon dioxide
(Elsevier, 2013-08)
This study examines the thermal decomposition process of the calcium carbonate (calcite powder) contained in test pieces of porous ceramics, of the same composition as that used in manufacturing ceramic wall tile bodies, ...
Alkaline activation of ceramic waste materials
(Springer, 2013-12)
Ceramic materials represent around 45% of construction and demolition waste, and originate not only from the building process, but also as rejected bricks and tiles from industry. Despite the fact that these wastes are ...
Synthesis and electrochemical behavior of ceramic cation-exchange membranes based on zirconium phosphate
(Elsevier, 2013-05)
Cation-exchange membranes made exclusively from ceramic materials have been synthesized by means of the impregnation of microporous ceramic supports with zirconium phosphate. Changes in the pore size distribution and total ...
Microstructure and photocatalytic activity of APS coatings obtained from different TIO2 nanopowders
(Elsevier, 2013-04)
In recent years, intense research has shown that thermal spray techniques, especially atmospheric plasma spraying (APS), can be used to obtain nanostructured TiO2 coatings with effective photocatalytic activity.
This ...
Cool products for building envelope - Part I: Development and lab scale testing
(Elsevier, 2014-07)
The paper describes the methodology followed for the development of new cool products in order to widen the range of existing solutions both including coloured (even dark) materials and extending the application also to ...
