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.

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

International 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 ...

Challenges and opportunities for increase sustainability and energy efficiency in ceramic tile industry

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
The ceramic tile industry has a global warming potential of 14.4 kg CO2 equivalent per square meter, with CO2 emissions comprising 92.1% of its impact. Annually, it emits 19 million tons of CO2, about 1% of Europe's industrial emissions regulated by the EU Emissions Trading System.

Investigation of nano‐SiO2 and nano‐Al2O3 additions in glaze formulation for Brazilian polished glazed porcelain stoneware tile

International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, Volume 22, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract The ceramic‐glaze for polished glazed porcelain stoneware tile is directly linked in determining the quality of the final product, as its characteristics significantly influence surface properties after polishing, including stain resistance, abrasion resistance, and chemical resistance.
