Investigating Technology and Raw Materials Source of the Archaic and Classical Architectural Terracottas From the Athenaion in Castro (Apulia, Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Since 2000, archaeological excavations have brought to light the sanctuary of Athena in Castro (Apulia, Italy), including terracotta roofs dated between the 6th and 4th centuries bce. Based on their morphological and stylistic features, it is suggested that the terracotta items were manufactured in the Greek colony of Taras (modern Taranto ...

Molecular Dynamics Simulation Study on the Occurrence of Shale Oil in Hybrid Nanopores

Molecules
The molecular dynamics simulation was used to simulate the influence of the composite wall stacking effect on shale oil occurrence. The kerogen-illite heterogeneous wall pore model was established to study the effects of temperature, pore size, and wall ...

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

The Influence of Kaolinite - Illite toward mechanical properties of Claystone

Open Geosciences, 2019
This study investigates the relationship between clay minerals (kaolinite and illite) and rock properties of the claystone, including both mechanical (cohesion, friction angle, stress, and strain) and physical properties (natural water content, void ...

Commercial clays in cosmetic formulations for hair care: Characterization and application to improve the mechanical properties of hair fibre

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
The shampoo and conditioner bar formulations enhanced hair gloss, promoting softness, improved cuticle alignment, and effective protection of hair shafts against external aggressors. Findings from mechanical properties measurements indicate that the clay‐containing formulations enhance the mechanical strength of hair, contributing to stronger and more ...

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

The Composition–Structure Relationship and the Formation of Fly Ash Skeletal-Dendritic Ferrospheres

Molecules
Ferrospheres (FSs) are a microspherical component of fly ash from pulverized coal combustion. The wide variations in chemical and phase composition, morphology, and the spherical design of FSs suggest their use as functional materials capable of ...

Comprehensive Investigations on the Effects of Heat on “Illite–Zeolites–Geo-Polymers–Sand” Composites: Evolutions of Crystalline Structures, Elemental Distributions and Si/Al Environments

Ceramics
This research constitutes a novel experimental approach to valorizing an industrial by-product: the ‘brick’. Studies put emphasis on the importance of detailed structural characterization of brickminerals and their chemical evolution upon heating ...
