    Materiales y tecnologías en la Arquitectura Modernista: casos de estudio de decoración de fachadas en Italia, Portugal y Polonia persiguiendo una restauración racional

    The results of a diagnostic survey on the materials of representative Art Nouveau buildings in Italy, Portugal and Poland are here presented and compared, as a contribution to their understanding and, hence, to support compatible restoration. In particular, the facade decorations were investigated for the appraisal of their materials and technologies, often neglected in current maintenance/restoration works and so cancelled, leading to a severe loss in architectural image. The ongoing diagnostic campaign, in collaboration among different universities, is aimed to set up a database on materials and technologies of Art Nouveau facade decorations at a European scale, as a technical-scientific background for the highlighting of preservation guidelines

    Electrical properties and microstructure of glass-ceramic materials from CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system

    Full text link
    The electrical (volume conductivity) and dielectric (loss factor and dielectric constant) properties of glass-ceramics belonging to the CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system have been studied, as a function of microstructure, in their glassy and ceramized forms on samples obtained as bulk materials or sintered powders. A possible application of these materials as substrates for electronic devices can be envisaged, on account of their low conductivities (<10(-14) Scm(-1) up to 250 degrees C), loss factor and permittivity values
