The recent advances concerning the processing and the physico-chemical properties of ceramic pigments are reviewed, focusing on innovative technologies and crystalline structures no formerly proposed for colouring ceramic wares. In particular, new insights into the colouring mechanisms are outlined as well as the design, characterization and use of new structures are discussed, with special attention paid to the search for red pigments. Unconventional processes applied to pigment production have been surveyed, considering advantages and drawbacks of both the new routes for the synthesis (e.g. continuous calcining, microwave, mechanosynthesis) and the innovative ways of mixing precursors (e.g. sol-gel, coprecipitation, Pechini).

Abstract
The recent advances concerning the processing and the physico-chemical properties of ceramic pigments are reviewed, focusing on innovative technologies and crystalline structures no formerly proposed for colouring ceramic wares. In particular, new insights into the colouring mechanisms are outlined as well as the design, characterization and use of new structures are discussed, with special attention paid to the search for red pigments. Unconventional processes applied to pigment production have been surveyed, considering advantages and drawbacks of both the new routes for the synthesis (e.g. continuous calcining, microwave, mechanosynthesis) and the innovative ways of mixing precursors (e.g. sol-gel, coprecipitation, Pechini).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
