Testing the Feasibility of Titanium Dioxide Sol-Gel Coatings on Portuguese Glazed Tiles to Prevent Biological Colonization [PDF]
Coatings, 2020 Historical glazed wall tiles are a unique vehicle of artistic expression that can be found outdoors, integrating the buildings of many countries, therefore they are often subjected to biodeterioration. In this work, the applicability of protective coatings on glazed tiles to prevent biological colonization was evaluated. Thin films of titanium dioxide (

Electrochemical desalination of historic Portuguese tiles – Removal of chlorides, nitrates and sulfates [PDF]
Journal of Cultural Heritage, 2015 Abstract Soluble salts cause severe decay of historic Portuguese tiles. Treatment options for removal of the salts to stop the decay are few. The present paper deals with development of a method for electrochemical desalination, where an electric DC field is applied to the tiles.

Chemical and mineralogical characterization of portuguese ceramic tiles in the historic center of São Luís do Maranhão (Brazil): an approximation of the mineralogy and firing temperature of the raw materials [PDF]
Revista Escola De Minas, 2013 This work involved the first-ever characterization of antique Portuguese ceramic wall tiles in the Historic Center of São Luis do Maranhão, Brazil. The tiles were characterized by optical microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and chemical analysis to identify the possible raw materials used in the fabrication process, as well as the firing temperature of

Antisymmetry in Portuguese Ceramic Tile Facades
Symmetry: Art and Science | 12th SIS-Symmetry Congress, 2022 In this work we explore the presence of antisymmetry in Portuguese ceramic tile facades, showing examples from different styles and different antisymmetry groups. We further present some experiments with school children who explored symmetry and antisymmetry in a creative way. Children used a particular tile design, the Truchet tile, to create specific

Micro-XRF for characterization of Moroccan glazed ceramics and Portuguese tiles [PDF]
Journal of Instrumentation, 2013 A set of enamelled terracotta samples (Zellij) collected from five different monuments in Morocco were object of study. With the aim of characterizing these typically Moroccan artistic objects, X-ray spectroscopic techniques were used as analytical tool to provide elemental and compound information.
