Synthesis and characterization of ceramic materials for specific environments

Project description :

Non-metallic ceramic type materials have experienced considerable development in recent years due to their good mechanical, thermal and dielectric properties. They can be used in fields as varied as food, construction, public works, electronics, etc. This project concerns the development of local raw materials (diatomite, kaolin, sand, recovered bricks, etc.) through the development of new products such as diatomite-based ceramic membranes for filtration, insulation bricks thermal, drug carriers, etc. Morphological, structural, thermal and mechanical characterizations will be made by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman, FTIR, DSC, ATD / ATG, and mechanical tests. The correlation of the production parameters of the targeted products, mechanical and thermal properties will be studied in order to achieve products that meet international standards and at a lower cost.
