The article studies thermal resistance variation by analyzing the colorimetric parameters correlated with the optical microscopy data of two groups of ceramic pigments obtained by co-precipitation in aqueous medium of phosphate anion and of a mixture of chromium phosphate with various chromophore cations. This research enabled us to reveal the thermal thresholds/domains within which significant color changes occur, thus allowing the choice of pigments compatible with the thermal varnishing-glazing processes involved in the manufacture of tesserae for mosaic and stained glass and of colored materials for floor tiles, wall tiles and painted porcelain.

Abstract. Polyaniline (PANI) is a conductive polymer that has both metal (electrical, electronic, optical and magnetic properties) and polymer characteristics (low density, low-cost and resistance to chemicals). Polyaniline becomes a conductor by treatment with a dopant that acts by extracting electrons (oxidation) or by inserting electrons (reduction). The reduced solubility of PANI in all common solvents restricts its capacity to be electrospun into uniform fibers. The present paper reviews the methods to increase the solubility of PANI by blending it with other polymers and doping it with organic acids, highlighting the best polymer/solvent couples and doping agents.
