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.

Optimizing raw material composition to increase sustainability in porcelain tile production: A simulation‐based approach

Journal of the American Ceramic Society, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 2110-2127, April 2024.
Abstract Reducing the environmental impact of porcelain tile production while maintaining cost‐effectiveness is challenging. This work introduced a novel modeling approach for optimizing a standard composition range comprising kaolinite (15–38 wt.%), illite (0–20 wt.%), quartz (20–40 wt.%), and feldspar (20–45 wt.%) to establish a robust composition ...

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 ...
