Effect of Quartz Amount and Size on Dimension Changes of Illite-Based Ceramics During Firing

Abstract

Quartz is a very common constituent of the materials of traditional ceramics - natural clays. These clays frequently contain illite as the main mineralogical phase.

The effect of quartz amount and particle size in the illite-quartz system without impurities has not yet been studied systematically.
