Effect of bentonite content on the suspension stability of a glaze slurry and final enamel performance

Possibility of obtaining Transparent Glaze from the Local clays of Qena Governorate

“…The ceramic glazes can be prepared from a mixture of different natural materials using different compositions and techniques [13]. Several studies are concerned with glaze development using different raw materials and other additional compositions to enhance glaze properties [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]. Sungmin and Kangduk et al [14]used TiO 2 as a nucleating agent to apply CaO-Al 2 O 3 -SiO 2 -ZnO (CASZ)-based glass to crystallize the glaze.…”

“…The addition of mullite didn't affect the transparency of the glaze. Jiexi et al [16] investigated the effect of bentonite on the enamel product performance and the glaze slurry suspension stability. The addition of 1 wt.% bentonite to the glaze slurry improved the glaze slurry's stability and the mechanical properties of the enamel products.…”

A crosslinked silicone coating adjusted by an additive with promising antifouling and ice nucleation inhibition performance

“…To enhance coating properties, researchers are focusing on the development of new functional additives. 30,31 In coating preparation, many additives are commonly used to regulate process performance, such as suspension agents, 32,33 film-forming agents, 34,35 tougheners, 36,37 thickeners, 38,39 pigment dispersants, 40,41 and defoamers, 42 which are an essential part of coatings. For example, Liang et al 42 added a defoamer and a film-forming additive to address the coating's internal defects and improve its mechanical properties.…”
