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 ...
Improvement of salicylic acid biological effect through its encapsulation with silica or chitosan
(Elsevier B.V., 2021-12-30)
Attacks of necrotrophic and biotrophic fungi affect a large number of crops worldwide and are difficult to control
with fungicides due to their genetic plasticity. Encapsulation technology is a good alternative for ...
