The advent of digital decoration has changed the technological requirements of colorants
and the way they are applied onto ceramic substrates. This technological revolution has …

This paper reports the successful preparation of Mg-doped VO2 nanoparticles via
hydrothermal synthesis. The metal–insulator transition temperature (Tc) decreased by …

N-doped TiO2 nanocrystals were successfully synthesized by a controlled sol–gel reaction
at pH 9 followed by calcinations at 400° C. Triethylamine was used to modulate the N …

The current study reports on the synthesis and characterization of a new inorganic nano-
pigment with an intense blue color and high solar radiation reflective properties (70%). The …

A fluorine-free and low temperature synthetic route derived from in-situ formed mineralizer
has been developed to fabricate V–ZrSiO 4 turquoise ceramic pigment. When the …

The oxidation state of vanadium in natural and synthetic Fe–Ti oxides is determined using
high-energy resolution fluorescence-detected X-ray absorption spectroscopy (HERFD-XAS) …

The salient features of zircon (ZrSiO 4) display their application potential in hard tissue
replacements. However, the formation of ZrSiO 4 through synthetic approach at relatively …

A series compositions with general stoichiometry as Zr 1− x− y (Nd x Ce y) SiO 4− x/2 (0≤ x,
y≤ 0.1) have been obtained by simultaneous substitution of Nd 3+ and Ce 4+ for Zr 4+ in …

Drop on demand ink-jet printing is turning to be the leading technique in the decoration of
ceramic tiles. This technology makes use in most cases of pigmented inks which are …

The ability of manganese to induce early zircon (ZrSiO 4) crystallization is investigated. An
assorted range of manganese additions to the ZrO 2 single bondSiO 2 binary system …
