The present invention provides an antimicrobial ceramic tile and manufacturing method thereof. A manufacturing method of an antimicrobial ceramic tile comprises: grinding soils into slurries; drying the slurries into powders by hot air; pressing the powders into a green body through a molding machine; dotting or spraying or showering a glaze slurry on the surface of the green body to form an engobe; dotting the glaze slurry on the engobe to form a ground glaze; mixing a surface glaze and an antimicrobial material into an antimicrobial glaze in a weight ratio of 100:5˜10; grinding water and the antimicrobial glaze into the antimicrobial glaze in a weight ratio of 5˜6:4˜5; and dotting antimicrobial glaze on the ground glaze; finally, rapidly firing the ceramic tile and the antimicrobial glaze into an antimicrobial ceramic tile.

A method includes forming a ceramic matrix composite component by infiltrating an array of ceramic-based fibers with a ceramic-based matrix; forming a plurality of cooling holes in the ceramic matrix composite component; applying a slurry of particles in a carrier fluid to the ceramic matrix composite component such that the slurry passes through the cooling holes and wicks into the ceramic matrix composite material; and processing the ceramic matrix composite component to remove the carrier fluid, thereby leaving a filler at a wall surface of the plurality of cooling holes. A component is also disclosed.

A voltage-nonlinear resistor element 10 includes a voltage-nonlinear resistor (referred simply as “resistor”) 20 and a pair of electrodes 14 and 16 between which the resistor 20 is interposed. The resistor 20 has a multilayer structure including a first layer 21 composed primarily of zinc oxide, a second layer 22 composed primarily of zinc oxide, and a third layer 23 composed primarily of a metal oxide other than zinc oxide. The second layer 22 is adjacent to the first layer 21 and has a smaller thickness and a higher volume resistivity than the first layer 21. The third layer 23 is adjacent to the second layer 22.

Provided are halogen-free coatings, and methods for making and using such halogen-free coatings, for water and oil protection or repellants, which coatings control and/or eliminate the effect of humidity and oily substances on one or more of a variety of surfaces. These coatings and methods exhibit minimal toxicity to humans, non-human animals, including pets, and the environment more generally. The presently-disclosed coatings, which do not contain a halogen component, may be suitably employed, for example, on monuments, textiles, metals, stone, ceramic, wood, or other surface.

A method of making a ceramic glaze formulation having an antimicrobial property for use with a ceramic article. The method comprises fritting an antimicrobial formulation in a flux frit, providing least one unfritted antimicrobial component, providing a silver carrier in a glass matrix, and combining the flux frit, the at least one unfritted component, and the silver carrier in the glass matrix to form the ceramic glaze formulation. The silver carrier is combined at an addition rate based on a dry weight basis of the ceramic glaze formulation. A ceramic glaze additive formulation and ceramic glazed article are also provided.
