Preceramic polymers, ie, polymers that are converted into ceramics upon heat treatment,
have been successfully used for almost 40 years to give advanced ceramics, especially …

Recent studies of mullite formation in clays and clay-based vitreous ceramic systems are
reviewed. In such systems, mullite crystals grow in a viscous aluminosilicate liquid, as …

Microstructural evolution in a model triaxial porcelain was studied by X‐ray diffractometry
and electron microscopy of quenched samples after firing for 3 h at 600°–1500° C. The clay …

Porcelain stoneware tile is a non-equilibrium porcelain material produced by a fast firing
process of kaolinitic clay, quartz and feldspar mixtures. This building material, generally …

Nanoscience and nanotechnology applications have shown remarkable progress in several
industrial fields, producing advance materials. Nowadays, there are a great number of …

Various forms of mullite occur in porcelains. Primary mullite forms from decomposition of
pure clay. Secondary mullite forms from reaction of feldspar and clay and feldpar, clay and …

The present work aimed at studying the incorporation of wastes from natural rock cutting and
polishing to produce roof tiles. The sintered products incorporating the sludge were targeted …

Microstructural evolution on heating was investigated in a reference industrial composition
(50% kaolinitic clay, 40% feldspar and 10% quartz) of porcelain stoneware, fast fired at …

Selected porcelain representative of the different production technologies used from the
eighteenth to the twentieth century at the French Royal Manufacture, which became The …

Porcelain stoneware is a strongly sintered ceramic material fabricated from ball clays-quartz-
feldspar mixtures. Porcelain stoneware is characterized by its excellent technical and …
