Porous ceramics can be used as filters and for the controlled release of volatile chemicals. This material consists of aluminosilicate particles in a glassy matrix. Chemical, physical and thermal...

Refractories are defined and aspects such as refractoriness, operating conditions, porosity and forms are explored. Their application in furnace linings is also explained.

Kyanite is an aluminosilicate used predmoninantly for refractories and ceramic bodies. It consists nominally of 60% Al2O3 and 40% SiO2. Al larger irreversible volume expansion makes it useful in...

Additives can provide a third phase to polymer matrix composites in addition to the reinforcement and matrix phases. Such materials may include fillers, fire retardants or external additives which can...

The quality of the glass is linked to multiple environmental and operational conditions that are affecting the glass surface when lifted from the tin bath. The bottom glass surface is influenced by...

Glass is term used to describe various non-crystalline solids. It encompasses materials such as vitreous silica, sodium silicate, crystal, borosilicate, opal, phosphate and chalcogenide glasses as...

A geopolymer was prepared by dissolving metakaolinite in a solution of K2SiO3 and KOH and curing at 80C for 24 h. The open porosity of the material was ~38% at 1000C, which is sufficiently porous for...

Rheology modifiers are common additives in a wide range of products and industries. The scientists use them to obtain desired product properties, from thickness of a cream or better pouring properties...

This page details the physical and chemical characterization of carbons, zeolites and molecular sieves requires reliable and robust measurements.

This article discusses how to choose the best fusion flux for XRF sample preparation.
