The difference between a common mineral resource and a high-value-added input lies in the details of its composition and morphology. An under-explored mineral resource may overlook opportunities in higher-value markets, where approval standards are based on specific requirements for each sector. The CRC (Ceramic Materials Service Center) offers a comprehensive technical characterization platform for mining […]

The durability and aesthetics of ceramic products depend on the thermomechanical compatibility between their constituent layers. At the Ceramic Coatings Center (CRC), we understand that the origin of some critical defects lies in the coupling stresses that develop between the body (support) and the glaze during the manufacturing process. When engobes, enamels, or granules are […]
