Gaseous ozone inactivation of Bacillus atrophaeus spores on ceramic and porcelain tiles
In this study, we investigated the ozone inactivation efficiency of Bacillus atrophaeus spores attached to various tile surfaces. Eight different types of tiles were employed, considering factors such as porosity (ceramic, porcelain), color (white, black)

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots
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.

Photocatalytic activity of ceramic tiles coated with titania supported on kaolinite
Titania is an established photocatalytic material. The dispersion of titania nanoparticles on kaolinite particles as carrier and support precursor, TiO2-kao, has been studied to avoid losses in photocatalytic efficiency once fired by single-fired ...

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

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

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