Group characteristics
The group is focused on the complex characterization of ceramic materials under non-stationary boundary conditions in a broader temperature interval, the optimization of drying and firing processes and the use of new or waste materials. The researchers involved study physical and chemical changes in ceramic materials, porosity, length/volume changes, the dependence of thermal conductivity and diffusivity on temperature, also the temperature dependencies of mechanical parameters (modulus of elasticity and mechanical strength). Experimental determination of thermophysical and thermomechanical properties provides the opportunity for optimization of thermal processing of ceramic materials and thermal strain of ceramic products.
