The effect of microorganizms on the properties of porcelain masses upon maturing

The reasons for the change in the structure and properties of the porcelain mass subjected to aging are analyzed from the standpoint of using the patterns of development of microbial communities. It is shown that when a nutrient substrate is added to the porcelain mass, the vital activity of the natural microflora is stimulated, which is accompanied by a favorable change in the coagulation, condensation structure. This intensifies the sintering process and improves the degree of "maturation" of the porcelain. Tab. 8, ill. 2, bibliography: 31 titles.
