Towards Sustainable Building Materials: Enset Fiber–Reinforced Recycled HDPE Composites for Wall Tile Applications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This research investigates the development of ecofriendly wall tile composites by incorporating alkali‐treated enset fibers into recycled high‐density polyethylene (rHDPE). The aim is to explore the influence of fiber loading, length, and processing pressure on the mechanical, thermal, and water absorption properties of the composites.

A Review of Hydrophobicity Measurement and Classification Methods for High‐Voltage Insulators

open access: yesJournal of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Hydrophobicity is a critical property influencing the performance and reliability of high‐voltage insulators, particularly nonceramic types, by mitigating surface contamination and reducing the risk of flashover. This paper presents a comprehensive review of hydrophobicity assessment techniques, spanning traditional laboratory‐based techniques ...

Study of the adherence between polymer-modified mortars and porcelain stoneware tiles

open access: yesMaterials Research, 2005
Despite the excellent characteristics of porcelain tiles, their application on building facades requires special attention, since this material differs from conventional ceramics and because facades are exposed to weathering that can damage ceramic ...

Fabrication of Novel Acid‐Resistant Ceramic With High Abrasion and Flexural Strength Resistance

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 7, Issue 6, November 2025.
ABSTRACT In this research, the innovative ceramic production process begins with the drying and grinding of raw materials to a fine powder, which is then sieved and dampened before being shaped into ceramic forms using a stainless‐steel mold. The material is pressed at 400 bars for 15 s to form a 10‐mm‐thick ceramic.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2025.
Shape‐morphing propulsive limbs enhance locomotion across land‐to‐water transitions, but prior designs rely on thermally responsive components, coupling performance to environmental temperature. This study introduces a pressure‐responsive mechanism that reduces morphing energy costs, enables rapid transitions, and minimizes failure modes.

The Use of Ornamental Stone Waste (OSW) as Raw Material for Porcelain Ceramic Tiles Production

open access: yesInternational Journal of Ceramic Engineering &Science, Volume 7, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Despite the relevant contribution of the ornamental stone industry to the international economy, the large volume of waste generated during the production process is one of the main problems faced by the sector. Currently, the ceramic industry has shown to be a powerful alternative for the use of these wastes.

Effect of nanosilica and nanoboehmite in the pyroplastic deformation of a porcelain tile paste

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract Porcelain tiles are low‐porosity ceramic coatings, formed by a mixture of clay minerals, quartz, and feldspars, and fired at temperatures close to 1200°C with formation of a liquid phase that can result in unwanted pyroplastic deformations. In addition, the rectangular formats, large dimensions, reduced thicknesses, and fast thermal cycles ...

Utilización de Residuos industriales como opacificantes en pastas de gres porcelánico

open access: yesBoletín de la Sociedad Española de Cerámica y Vidrio, 2010
The present research was conducted to assess the feasibility of using two kinds of industrial wastes as opacifiers in porcelain tile bodies, as well as to define what pre-treatment would be required to prepare the wastes for such use. The characteristics
