Estimation of the AC electrical properties of some clay ceramic samples under different compositions and firing temperatures

Abstract Raw materials for ceramics made of clay are completely functional. Ceramic-floor tiles are made using clays combined with homogenous batches. Mineralogical, electrical, and ceramic properties were tested. Electrical properties are influenced by firing temperature and chemical composition. At room temperature, samples of natural crude clay were electronically monitored both before and after fire. The measurements (chemical composition, main and minor chemical features, petrography, X-ray, SEM, electrical properties, and chemical composition) demonstrate how firing temperature and chemical composition (from clay to ceramic) impact mixture behavior and how clay-ceramic products can be enhanced. Dielectric constant and conductivity both rise with temperature. Humidity affects electrical properties as well. Charges from ore minerals improve electrical properties. Diffusion polarization, excess ion exchange, and surface charge displacement control grains. This study enhances the commercial use of ceramic clay mineral samples by demonstrating how composition and temperature affect the samples' electrical properties.
