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

International 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.

Stain Resistance of Porcelain Stoneware Tiles: The Influence of Microstructure

Key Engineering Materials, 2004
This work deals with the appraisal of the most important microstructural parameters influencing the stain resistance of polished porcelain stoneware tiles. The correlations between the stain resistance on one side and bulk or surface characteristics on the other side were evaluated through a statistical approach, which provided a previsional model of ...

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

Journal 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 ...

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

International 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.

Environmental profile of Spanish porcelain stoneware tiles [PDF]

The International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2017
Porcelain stoneware tile (PST) is currently the ceramic tile of greatest commercial and innovation interest. An environmental life cycle assessment of different varieties of PST was undertaken to enable hotspots to be identified, strategies to be defined, differences between PST varieties to be evaluated and guidance for PST manufacturers to be ...

Accelerated Photogenerated Charge Separation Driven Synergistically by the Interfacial Electric Field and Work Function in Z‐Scheme Zn‐Ni2P/G‐C3N4 for Efficient Photocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution

Exploration, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2025.
The design of green and low‐cost Z‐scheme heterojunctions with the interfacial electric field is of prime importance to their photocatalytic hydrogenation performance and practical application. This work synthesizes Zn‐Ni2P/g‐C3N4 Z‐scheme heterojunction with a strong interfacial electric field for upgraded photocatalytic hydrogen evolution.

Decreasing the Cost of Morphing in Adaptive Morphogenetic Robots

Advanced 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

International 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.
