Role of iron-rich clays on sintering of porcelain stoneware tiles
Porcelain stoneware traditionally contains low Fe2O3 (<1 wt%), limiting research on iron's effects beyond coloration to date. However, recent changes in the supply chain induced a shift towards resource efficiency and circular economy, which led to body formulations with Fe2O3 up to 2.5 wt%.

Mechanical Properties of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles: The Effect of Glass-Ceramic Systems
In the latest years, the addition of glass-ceramics systems to porcelain stoneware bodies has been experimented to assess their expected technological benefits and aesthetic advantages. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of glass-ceramics on mechanical properties appraising the intimate changes occurring as a consequence of the ...

LCA of nanotitania functionalized porcelainized stoneware tiles
The unglazed fine porcelainized stoneware tile, also called porcelainized stoneware or grés, is a product used both for internal and external applications in building field due to its low-porosity, high mechanical, abrasion, chemical and stain resistance.

Effects of Glass Waste Addition on Technological Properties of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles
The aim of this research is to assess the effects of the addition of waste glass on both technological behaviour and technical properties of porcelain stoneware bodies. Several bodies were designed adding up to 10% waste (float and container glass) to a typical industrial formulation in replacement of sodium feldspar.

The role of surface microstructure on the resistance to stains of porcelain stoneware tiles
Porcelain stoneware tiles frequently undergo a polishing process, aiming at improving their aesthetical appearence, that brings about a consistent material removal, with formation of superficial defects and opening of closed pores. The consequent degradation of the surface - and especially the increased sensitivity to stains represent the main limit ...
