Sintering of raw glazes for floor and porcelain tiles: A non-isothermal kinetic model
(Elsevier, 2016-11)
New fritless glaze compositions have been developed for floor and porcelain tiles from a new boron raw material obtained by calcination. The complexity of this type of composition also translates into complex behaviour ...
Quartz dustiness: A key factor in controlling exposure to crystalline silica in the workplace
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The classification of Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS) as carcinogenic for humans has drawn greater attention to crystalline silica exposure in the workplace in recent years, leading to recommendations by safety and ...
Nanobased coatings with improved NIR reflecting properties for building envelope materials: Development and natural aging effect measurement
(Elsevier, 2013-02)
A significant contribution to the reduction of the Urban Heat Island effect and cooling energy demand is given today by the so called cool materials for the building envelope with enhanced reflecting and emitting properties. ...
Inkjet technology for ceramic products. Influence of some process variables on ink penetration
(WileyThe American Ceramic Society, 2019-07-27)
Inkjet technology has become very popular in recent years and is nowadays widely used for
decorating ceramic products. This has led to in-depth study of the operating principles and
process variables involved. These ...
Large scale synthesis of nanostructured zirconia-based compounds from freeze-dried precursors
(Elsevier, 2013)
Nanocrystalline zirconia powders have been obtained at the multigram scale by thermal decomposition of precursors resulting from the freeze-drying of aqueous acetic solutions. This technique has equally made possible to ...
Factors Controlling Properties of Ca-Mg, Ca-Er, Ca-Nd, or Ca-Y-Modified Aluminosilicate Glasses Containing Nitrogen and Fluorine
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Glasses with composition (in eq.%) (30 − x)Ca:xM:55Si:15Al:80O:15N:5F have been prepared with different levels of substitution of Ca2+ cations by Mg2+, Y3+, Er3+, or Nd3+. The properties of these glasses are examined in ...
Influence of Particle Size on the Drying Kinetics of Single Droplets Containing Mixtures of Nanoparticles and Microparticles: Modeling and Pilot-Scale Validation
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-05-03)
The particle size of the primary particles is an important parameter influencing the drying behavior of droplets. In this work, the influence of particle size on the drying kinetics and grain properties was analyzed for ...
Study of colloidal behaviour and rheology of Al2O3-TiO2 nanosuspensions to obtain free-flowing spray-dried granules for atmospheric plasma spraying
(Elsevier, 2013-09)
This work deals with the dispersion and stabilisation of nanosized Al2O3 and TiO2 particles in aqueous medium. The dispersing conditions were studied as a function of pH, dispersant content, solid loading and ageing.

Correlation of thermal conductivity of suspension plasma sprayed yttria stabilized zirconia coatings with some microstructural effects
(Elsevier, 2013)
Yttria-stabilized zirconia (3YSZ) coatings were successfully obtained by suspension plasma spraying. The coatings present generally two-zones-microstructure comprising nanostructured zones contributed by unmolten, partially ...
Polymorphism-Triggered Reversible Thermochromic Fluorescence of a simple 1,8-Naphthyridine
(ACS Publications, 2013-01-04)
The fluorescent behavior in the solid state of a naphthyridine-based donor–acceptor heterocycle is presented. Synthesized as a crystalline blue-emissive solid (Pbca), the compound can easily be transformed in its P21/c ...
