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. ...
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 ...
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 ...

How can the European ceramic tile industry meet the EU's low-carbon targets? A life cycle perspective
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
Ceramic tile manufacturing is deemed to be an energy intensive industry, mainly based on combustion processes and, therefore, subject to European policies aiming at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The “Roadmap for moving ...
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 ...
Characterization of thermal barriers coatings of Y-TZP/AL2O3/SiC composite obtained by suspension plasma spraying
(Akadémiai Kiadó, 2017-07-09)
The aim of this work is to improve TBCs providing a self-healing ability. For that purpose, an aqueous suspension of SiCY-TZP and Al2O3 was prepared and deposited by suspension plasma spraying to avoid the oxidation of ...
