Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology

The Journal of Ceramic Science and Technology publishes original scientific articles on all topics of ceramic science and technology from all ceramic branches. The focus is on the scientific exploration of  the relationships between processing, microstructure and properties of sintered ceramic materials as well as on new processing routes for innovative ceramic materials. The papers may have either theoretical or experimental background. A high quality of publications will be guaranteed by a thorough double blind peer review process.

The Journal is published by Göller Verlag GmbH on behalf of the Deutsche Keramische Gesellschaft (DKG). Edited by Yu-Ping Zeng, Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China.

Abstract

Al2O3 nanofibers were produced with the electrospinning technique based on a precursor solution of PVP with aluminum 2,4-pentanedionate. After fiber deposition onto ceramic specimens, specimens were calcinated at a maximum temperature of 1400 °C, similar to the manufacturing temperature of commercially available whitewares. Structural and morphological characterization of the produced alumina nanofibers was performed as well as a vast mechanical characterization of ceramic glazed specimens with incorporated nanofibers. Without any significant alteration in the aesthetics properties of the glaze, a 10-% increase in the maximum allowable loads before break was noted.
