In this study, twenty five partially vitrified rocks and four samples of collected on the top hill called Serravuda (Acri, Calabria, Italy) are analyzed. The goal is to shed light origin these enigmatic materials. analyzed a breccia cemented rock fragments (gneiss, granitoid, amphibolite fragments) which extends for more than 10 m, forming continuous mass along northern north-west border flat h...

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mechanical and electrical properties of nano structured cordierite. Nano grain size powders were synthesized through mechanical activation by high-energy ball milling of the starting powders containing 34.86 wt% Al2O3, 51.36 wt% SiO2, and 13.78 wt% MgO. Samples were prepared by conventional and microwave sintering at 1390°C. SEM observations il...
