AB  - In this preliminary study, we applied the Multivariate Curve Resolution- Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) method to analyze the excitation-emission matrices of multifloral honey samples, combined with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to estimate infection of honey bee colonies with N. ceranae or V. destructor. Fluorescence spectroscopy combined with MCR-ALS was used to determine the ratio of the spectral components originating from proteins (C1) and phenolics (C2), two minor but essential constituents of honey, as a ratiometric indicator of infection level in related hives. The C1/C2 ratio decreased linearly with the increase of infection in both N. ceranae and V. destructor cases, the R (2) was 0.941 and 0.912, respectively. Additionally, DSC has shown that the magnitude of changes in sugar environments of the honey samples, reflected in sugar phase transitions, rises with increasing infection level in bee colonies. These results indicate that fluorescence combined with MCR-ALS could be used for rapid, non-destructive and cheap screening of honey to estimate the level of infection of honey bee colonies.

AB  - Sintering and phase transition are often superimposed at dimensional change diagram recorded during heating. Phase transition kinetic is thus hard to deconvolute due to the superposition of the sintering and phase transition dimensional change phenomena. Metastabile perovskite phase ZnTiO3has transition to stabile spinel Zn2TiO4which occurs at 945oC with high kinetic rate. Nano powder with 40 nm particle diameter was pressed uniaxially at 200 MPa pressure without binder to form compact that will be consequently sintered. Dimensional change during heating was monitored using dilatometric thermo-mechanical analyzer TMA model SETSYS Evolution. Lever`s rule was used to calculate amount of the emerging phase during phase transition. The compacted specimens were treated on the nonisothermal schedule up to 1050oC.Sintering phenomenon of the ZnTiO3 nanopowder compact was also recorded up to 900oCwith isothermal holding of 25 minutes where phase transition was avoided due to lower temperature and isothermal holding. Second run heating of the obtained sintered specimens were recorded with the heating schedule of non-isothermal heating up to 1050oC. Kinetic of the phase transition was obtained from dilatograms recorded during sintering and from bulk on the second run heating. Furthermore, phase transition kinetics was obtained by subsequent data subtraction of the sintering curves without phase transition from the dilatation sintering curves containing phase transition. In such a manner complex kinetics of phenomena such as sintering, linear expansion and phase transition recorded as dimensional change during heating brings the recognition of their mutual interconnected relations. Also application of these mathematical operations on dilatometric data leads to the established procedure for the sintering and phase transition data treatment.

AB  - NiMn2O4, with a cubic spinel structure and numerous and various applications in modern technology, were synthesized with two synthetic routes: sol-gel combustion method with glycine as fuel and electrospinning method with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Both amorphous powders from sol-gel synthesis and as-spun fibers from electrospinning synthesis were calcined, electrospun fibers at 400 °C and the sol-gel synthesized powders at 800 °C. Electrospun fibers were previously characterized with DTA-TGA to investigate the influence of thermal process on a polymer fiber.The obtained powders were characterized accordingly. Structural analysis was done via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and results show spinel structure with no impurity. The texture and morphology was investigated via N2 physisorption and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. Chemical states of elements were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The electrochemical performance of the synthesized materials as supercapacitors was tested via cyclic voltammetry (CV), electric impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and chronopotentiometry (CP) to aquire galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) curves. Experiments were done in 6 M KOH solution with nickel foam as a working electrode. The results show good electrochemical capacity circa 200 F/g, with the potential for further structural improvement of the materials.

AB  - Nickel manganite nanocrystalline fibers were obtained by electrospinning and subsequent calcination at 400 degrees C. As-spun fibers were characterized by TG/DTA, Scanning Electron Microscopy and FT-IR spectroscopy analysis. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy analysis confirmed the formation of nickel manganite with a cubic spinel structure, while N-2 physisorption at 77 K enabled determination of the BET specific surface area as 25.3 m(2)/g and (BJH) mesopore volume as 21.5 m(2)/g. The material constant (B) of the nanocrystalline nickel manganite fibers applied by drop-casting on test interdigitated electrodes on alumina substrate, dried at room temperature, was determined as 4379 K in the 20-50 degrees C temperature range and a temperature sensitivity of -4.95%/K at room temperature (25 degrees C). The change of impedance with relative humidity was monitored at 25 and 50 degrees C for a relative humidity (RH) change of 40 to 90% in the 42 Hz pi 1 MHz frequency range. At 100 Hz and 25 degrees C, the sensitivity of 327.36 +/- 80.12 k omega/%RH was determined, showing that nickel manganite obtained by electrospinning has potential as a multifunctional material for combined humidity and temperature sensing.

AB  - Nanostructured Fe2TiO5 (pseudobrookite), a mixed metal oxide material holds significant promise for utilization in energy and environmental applications. However, its full application is still hindered due to the difficulty to synthesize monophasic Fe2TiO5 with high crystallinity and a large specific surface area. Herein, Fe2TiO5 nanofibers were synthesized via a versatile and low-cost electrospinning method, followed by a calcination process at different temperatures. We found a significant effect of the calcination process and its duration on the crystalline phase in the form of either pseudobrookite or pseudobrookite-hematite-rutile and the morphology of calcined nanofibers. The crystallite size increased whereas the specific surface area decreased with an increase in calcination temperature. At higher temperatures, the growth of Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles and simultaneous coalescence of small particles was noted. The highest specific surface area was obtained for the sample calcined at 500 degrees C for 6 h (S-BET = 64.4 m(2) g(-1)). This work opens new opportunities in the synthesis of Fe2TiO5 nanostructures using the electrospinning method and a subsequent optimized calcination process for energy-related applications.

abstract = "Nanostructured Fe2TiO5 (pseudobrookite), a mixed metal oxide material holds significant promise for utilization in energy and environmental applications. However, its full application is still hindered due to the difficulty to synthesize monophasic Fe2TiO5 with high crystallinity and a large specific surface area. Herein, Fe2TiO5 nanofibers were synthesized via a versatile and low-cost electrospinning method, followed by a calcination process at different temperatures. We found a significant effect of the calcination process and its duration on the crystalline phase in the form of either pseudobrookite or pseudobrookite-hematite-rutile and the morphology of calcined nanofibers. The crystallite size increased whereas the specific surface area decreased with an increase in calcination temperature. At higher temperatures, the growth of Fe2TiO5 nanoparticles and simultaneous coalescence of small particles was noted. The highest specific surface area was obtained for the sample calcined at 500 degrees C for 6 h (S-BET = 64.4 m(2) g(-1)). This work opens new opportunities in the synthesis of Fe2TiO5 nanostructures using the electrospinning method and a subsequent optimized calcination process for energy-related applications.",

AB  - Nanocrystalline Zn2SnO4/SnO2 powder was obtained by a solid state reaction of ZnO and SnO2 nanopowders mixed in the molar ratio 1:1. The phase composition of the obtained powder was studied by XRD and Raman spectroscopy, morphology and texture were characterized by FESEM, TEM, BET and Hg porosimetry, while XPS and FTIR spectroscopy were used to determine the surface chemistry. The influence of humidity on complex impedance was monitored on bulk samples in the relative humidity (RH) range 30-90% in a climatic chamber in the frequency range 42 Hz- 1 MHz at working temperatures of 25 and 50 degrees C. Change in RH had a significant influence on impedance reduction, especially noticeable in the lower frequency range, indicating potential application of this nanocomposite as a humidity sensing material. Increase in RH led to an increase in AC conductivity that changed with frequency according to the Jonscher power law. The frequency exponent decreased with increase in RH and sample temperature indicating that the correlated hopping barrier model is the dominant conduction mechanism. Complex impedance was analyzed using an equivalent circuit consisting of a parallel resistance and constant phase element, showing the dominant influence of grain boundaries at both working temperatures (25 and 50 degrees C). The resistance decreased, while the capacitance and relaxation frequency increased with increase in RH. At high humidity an added Wartburg element enabled modeling of the charge diffusion process.

Magnesium nitrate, cobalt nitrate and iron nitrate were used as oxidizers and citric acid was used as a reducing agent. Structural and morphological properties of the obtained ferrite powders were investigated and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Optical properties were investigated by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. A cubic spinel structure with multigrain agglomerates formed. Visible light photocatalytic activity of the spinel ferrite powder samples was evaluated by measuring the rate of photodegradation reaction of methylene blue (MB).

AB  - Zinc oxide is a semiconductor material which still, after a century of scientific research, shows great potential in modern day utilisements such as heterogenous photocatalysis of organic pollutants and as a photoanode material for efficient water splitting and oxygen generation. In this work zinc oxide was synthesized by a glycine-nitrate combustion process, which is a cheap, simple and efficient method for synthesizing transition metal oxides. The obtained powder was calcined at 400 and 500 °C and samples were characterized in detail using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-trasform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Photoelectrocatalytic properties were investigated via electrochemical methods: linear voltammetry (LV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that the obtained samples are nanocrystalline wurtzite zinc oxide with no impurities, with average particle diameters of 33 nm (annealed at 400 °C) and 48 nm (annealed at 500 °C). Both samples show significant amounts of various crystal deffects. The determined zinc oxide band gap was lower than the band gap of bulk zinc oxide. Photoelectrochemical measurements revealed that this material is photostable and reactive to light. Water oxidation is enhanced by exposing the light. Finally, photocatalytic properties were tested via determining kinetic parameters of organic pollutant decomposition. Both samples showed excellent photocatalytic activity by decomposing methylene blue and phenol.

AB  - ZnO nanopowders were produced using microwave processing of a precipitate and applied as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Two different surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the cationic and Pluronic F127 as the non-ionic one, were employed to in situ adjust the surface-to-bulk defect ratio in the ZnO crystal structure and further to modify the photo(electro)catalytic activity of the ZnO photoanode. The crystal structure, morphological, textural, optical and photo(electro)catalytic properties of ZnO particles were studied in detail to explain the profound effects of the surfactants on the photoanode activity. The ZnO/CTAB photoanode displayed the highest photocurrent density of 27 mA g(-1), compared to ZnO (10.4 mA g(-1)) and ZnO/F127 photoanodes (20 mA g(-1)) at 1.5 V vs. SCE in 0.1 M Na2SO4 under visible illumination of 90 mW cm(-2). A significant shift of the overpotential toward lower values was also observed when photoanodes were illuminated. The highest shift of the overpotential, from 1.296 to 0.248 V vs. SCE, was recorded when the ZnO/CTAB photanode was illuminated. The ZnO/CTAB photoanode provides efficient charge transfer across the electrode/electrolyte interface, with a longer lifetime of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and reduced possibility of charge recombination. The photoconversion efficiency was improved from 1.4% for ZnO and 0.9% for ZnO/F127 to 4.2% for ZnO/CTAB at 0.510 mV. A simple procedure for the synthesis of ZnO particles with improved photo(electro)catalytic properties was established and it was found that even a small amount of CTAB used during processing of ZnO increases the surface-to-bulk defect ratio. Optimization of the surface-to-bulk defect ratio in ZnO materials enables increase of the absorption capacity for visible light, rendering of the recombination rate of the photogenerated pair, as well as increase of both the photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency.

abstract = "ZnO nanopowders were produced using microwave processing of a precipitate and applied as a photoanode for photoelectrochemical water splitting. Two different surfactants, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the cationic and Pluronic F127 as the non-ionic one, were employed to in situ adjust the surface-to-bulk defect ratio in the ZnO crystal structure and further to modify the photo(electro)catalytic activity of the ZnO photoanode. The crystal structure, morphological, textural, optical and photo(electro)catalytic properties of ZnO particles were studied in detail to explain the profound effects of the surfactants on the photoanode activity. The ZnO/CTAB photoanode displayed the highest photocurrent density of 27 mA g(-1), compared to ZnO (10.4 mA g(-1)) and ZnO/F127 photoanodes (20 mA g(-1)) at 1.5 V vs. SCE in 0.1 M Na2SO4 under visible illumination of 90 mW cm(-2). A significant shift of the overpotential toward lower values was also observed when photoanodes were illuminated. The highest shift of the overpotential, from 1.296 to 0.248 V vs. SCE, was recorded when the ZnO/CTAB photanode was illuminated. The ZnO/CTAB photoanode provides efficient charge transfer across the electrode/electrolyte interface, with a longer lifetime of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and reduced possibility of charge recombination. The photoconversion efficiency was improved from 1.4% for ZnO and 0.9% for ZnO/F127 to 4.2% for ZnO/CTAB at 0.510 mV. A simple procedure for the synthesis of ZnO particles with improved photo(electro)catalytic properties was established and it was found that even a small amount of CTAB used during processing of ZnO increases the surface-to-bulk defect ratio. Optimization of the surface-to-bulk defect ratio in ZnO materials enables increase of the absorption capacity for visible light, rendering of the recombination rate of the photogenerated pair, as well as increase of both the photocurrent density and photoconversion efficiency.",

AB  - Slaughterhouse blood represents a valuable source of hemoglobin, which can be used in the production of heme-iron based supplements for the prevention/treatment of iron-deficiency anemia. In order to obtain a stable solid-state formulation, the effect of maltose addition (30 %) on the stability and storage of bovine and porcine hemoglobin in powders obtained by spray-and freeze-drying (without maltose: Hb; with maltose: HbM) were investigated. Differential scanning calorimetry of spray- and freeze-dried powders indicated satisfying quality of the formulation prepared with maltose on dissolving back into solution. After two-year storage at room temperature (20 +/- 5 degrees C) in solid forms, protected from moisture and light, rehydrated spray- and freeze- dried HbM were red, while Hb were brown. Dynamic light scattering showed the presence of native hemoglobin monomers in rehydrated spray- and freeze- dried HbM, but their agglomerates in Hb samples. UV-Vis spectrophotometry confirmed an absence of significant hemoglobin denaturation and methemoglobin formation in HbM freeze-dried powders. In spray-dried HbM, an increased level of methemoglobin was detected. The results confirmed the stabilizing effect of maltose, and suggested its use in the production of long-term stable solid-state formulations of hemoglobin, along with drying processes optimization.

AB  - During the compaction of the powder mixture of ZnO and Mn2O3 (MnCO3) and Fe2O3 compacts were find fragile for further handling. Poly vinyl alcohol PVA was used as a binder in an unusual 20% PVA content. We made as well 2% PVA with 0.6% Poly ethylene glycol PEG and 20% PVA with 6 % PEG. Binder was wrapped over the powder by suspension forming in the polymer water solution and drying afterwards until all water content evaporates. On the these obtained powders employed characterization techniques were: Fourier transformed Infra red FTIR spectra with ATR attenuated total reflection technique as well as differential thermal analysis DTA on the device with low temperature sensitivity and TEM transmition electron microscopy. All binder concentrations gave compacts with good mechanical properties, that can be handled with ease but with adding, a PEG as plasticizer the operating of the anvil and piston were extremely difficult due to friction.

AB  - Zinc oxide-based materials have a great potential to be applied as photocatalysts in the processes
of removal of organic and biological pollutants from drinking and wastewaters. A major
drawback of ZnO as visible-light absorber is a band energy gap of 3.37 eV, which restricts the
material to absorb UV light only. This drawback can be overcame by modifying the optical
absorption properties of zinc oxide particles. Different approaches have been applied to modify
the visible light photocatalytic activity of ZnO materials: (1) metal and nonmetal ion doping, (2)
hydrogenation, (3) the incorporation of crystalline defects in the form of vacancies and
interstitials, (4) the modification of particles morphology and surface topology, etc.
In this study we investigated the influence of different surfactants on the morphology, optical
properties and functionality of ZnO particles. Two different surfactants were employed during
microwave processing of ZnO particles, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as cationic
and Pluronic F-127 as non-ionic one. The crystal structure and phase purity of the ZnO particles
were determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Effects of the surfactants on
particles morphology and texture properties were observed with field emission scanning electron
microscopy (FE–SEM) and nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherm, respectively. The optical
properties were studied using UV–Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence (PL)
spectroscopy. Functionality of ZnO particles was studied due to their photocatalytic and
electrochemical activities. Photocatalytic activity was examined via decolorization of methylene
blue under direct sunlight irradiation. Electrochemical behavior of the ZnO samples as anode
material was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry in Na2SO4
 electrolyte; the oxygen evolution
kinetics were determined and compared.

AB  - Due to its optical and electrical properties, low toxicity, chemical and physical stability, as
well as inexpensiveness, zinc oxide (ZnO) based materials have a great potential to be used
as photoelectrode in photo(electro)catalysis. Photo(electro)catalytic activity of ZnO materials
can be improved by modification of particles morphology and surface topology.
In this work, the influence of two different surfactants: cetyltrimethylammonium bromide
(CTAB) and Pluronic F-127, on the crystal structure, morphology, optical and
photo(electro)catalytic properties of ZnO particles, were examined. ZnO powders were
synthesized by microwave processing of a precipitate which was previously prepared by
"drop by drop" method in the presence of the surfactants. The crystal structure and phase
purity of the ZnO particles were determined by X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy.
The effects of the surfactants on ZnO particles morphology were examined by the field
emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The optical properties were studied using
UV-Vis diffuse reflectance and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Photocatalytic activity was
examined via decolorization of methylene blue under direct sunlight irradiation. It was found
that synthesized ZnO powders have a significant photocatalytic activity. Electrochemical
properties were studied using linear sweep voltammetry and impedance spectroscopy in
Na2SO4 electrolyte. ZnO powder synthesized in the presence of CTAB (ZnO/CTAB) showed
the most significant reduction of potential and the fastest kinetic of oxygen evolution.

AB  - ZnO/CTAB powder was prepared by microwave processing of a precipitate 
with the aid of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The effects of 
CTAB on the crystal structure, morphology, optical and 
photo(electro)catalytic properties of ZnO particles were studied. The results 
showed that CTAB did not influenced crystal structure or phase purity of 
ZnO. However, even low concentration of CTAB vary particles morphology; 
cone-like particles were prepared by processing without CTAB, while a 
mixture of spheroidal and plate-like ZnO particles were produced when 0.001 
M CTAB was used. It was found that synthesized ZnO powders have 0.10 
eV lower band gap energy then bulk ZnO (3.37 eV). A high photocatalytic 
activity for decolorization of methylene blue water solution was established 
after 2 h of sunlight irradiation; efficiency was 100 and 67% for ZnO/CTAB 
and ZnO, respectively. Electrochemical test showed faster oxygen evolution 
kinetics when ZnO/CTAB was used as anode material. Enhanced 
photo(electro)catalytic activities of ZnO/CTAB particles are attributed to 
better absorption of visible light due to both, larger dimensions and surface 
sensitization by CTAB.

AB  - One of the ways to get rid of toxic organic compounds that industries release into natural waters is photocatalysis of the decomposition of organic compounds on the surface of heterogenous photocatalysts such as zinc oxide. Zinc oxide is a semiconductor that interacts with UV and near-UV visible light by generating electron-hole pairs which decompose organic molecules. Therefore it is useful to explore different ways of synthesizing zinc oxide and to test quality and quantity of organic decomposition photocatalysis so as to enable the commercial use of the material. Zinc oxide is also a respectable material for use as a photoelectrocatalyst in water oxidation, for example, which can be useful for generating oxygen while using natural sunlight - a clean and abundant energy source. In this project nanocrystalline zinc oxide was synthesized by glycin-nitrate combustion process and the powder was annealed on temperatures of 400 °C and 500 °C. Obtained particles where characterized in detail using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, field emission scanning microscopy (FESEM), photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL) and diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). The results show that obtained samples are nanocrystalline wurtzite zinc oxide, with particle diameters of 33 nm (annealed at 400 °C) ad 48 nm (annealed at 500 °C). Both samples show significant amount of various crystal defects. Zinc oxide band gap of the samples are determined to be lower than the band gap of the bulk zinc oxide. Photoelectrocatalytic properties were investigated via electrochemical methods: linear voltammetry (LV), chronoamperometry (CA) and impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results show that material is photostable and reactive to the light. Water oxidation is enhanced by exposing to sunlight. Finally, photocatalytic properties are tested with determining kinetic parameters of phenole and methyl blue decomposition. Zinc oxide nanoparticles are efficient photocatalysts, although sample annealed at 500 °C shows better properties than sample annealed at 400 °C.

AB  - Commercial Mn-Zn powder (Mn0.63Zn0.37Fe2O4, 93 wt. % and Fe2O3 7 wt. %) was milled 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours in a planetary ball mill. The goal was to observe intensive milling influences on oxidation and reduction processes that will happen during subsequent heating. Powders were characterized with XRD, SEM and particle seizer. Subsequent heating was monitored on TGA/DTA in an air atmosphere. After compaction of the milled powders, sintering was also performed in a dilatometric device. Sintered specimens were characterized micro structurally with SEM on a fresh breakage. Obtained differential TGA diagrams suggest intensive changes during prolonged milling of the oxidation kinetics on heating. Ferrite powders changed with milling as well as with second run heating were characterized to enable determination of the potentially best ratio of milling and heating to be applied to obtain the desired microstructure.

AB  - BiFeO3 powders were synthesized by sonochemically assisted hydrothermal and hydro-evaporation methods. The X-ray diffraction confirmed the presence of secondary phases, Bi25FeO39 and Bi2Fe4O9, in as prepared BiFeO3 powders. Optimization of sintering conditions indicated that temperature of 800 degrees C and time of 2 h after pressing at 9 t/cm(2) provided ceramics samples with"the highest density (up to 96% of theoretical density) and the lowest content of secondary phases. Ferroelectric and magnetic characterization was performed on two selected ceramics samples with the highest densities. Ceramics obtained from the powder synthesized by the hydrothermal method showed greater lattice distortion along [1 1 1] axis and smaller grains, which resulted in larger values of electric polarization at room temperature. It also exhibited less Fe(3d)-O(2p) orbital overlapping due to a larger Fe-O-Fe bond angle, causing lower antiferromagnetic ordering and weak ferromagnetic behavior at low temperatures.

AB  - Starting powders of TiO2 (anatase) and Fe2O3 (hematite) were mixed in the molar ratio 1:1. Pseudobrookite powder was obtained by a combined milling/calcination procedure. Particle size distribution was analyzed on a laser particle size analyzer and correlated with XRD and SEM analysis. The band gap was determined using UV/Vis spectroscopy. Green samples were sintered in a dilatometer and at 1000oC for 2h in air. Thermal diffusivity was determined from photoacoustic measurements. Electrical conductivity measurements were performed. The aim was to obtain pseudobrookite with properties suitable for polymer paste for thick films to be applied as gas sensors.

AB  - ZnTiO3 nanopowder as a constitutive component in compact production was primarily characterised. Scanning electron micrographs of as received powder were recorded. Mercury porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption were also performed on loose powder. Particle size distribution in a water powder suspension was determined with a laser particle size analyser. Compaction was performed on different pressures in a range from 100 to 400 MPa using the uniaxial double sided compaction technique without binder and lubricant. Micrographs of compacted specimens were obtained using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Pore size distribution was also determined by mercury porosimetry and nitrogen adsorption. Results revealed that with increasing pressure during compaction interagglomerate pores diminish in size until they reach some critical diameter related to the intra-agglomerate pore size.

AB  - Due to its outstanding electrical characteristics, such as the low temperature expansion coefficient, low dielectric constant and good mechanical properties, cordierite, 2MgO center dot 2Al(2)O(3)center dot 5SiO(2), is a very attractive high-temperature ceramic material. In order to accelerate the process of sintering, 2.50 mass% Bi2O3 has been added to the starting mixtures. Liquid phase sintering caused by the presence of bismuth-oxide lowers the temperature of cordierite formation. The mechanical activation of the starting mixtures (0-56 min in vibro-mill) additionally lowers sintering temperatures. The sintering process was performed at 1200, 1300, 1350 and 1400 degrees C, for 2 h. The particle size analysis (PSA) was employed in order to determine the changes in the particle size of the mechanically treated powders. The phase composition of the starting powders and sintered materials was analyzed by the X-ray diffraction method. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used in the analysis of the powder morphology.
