Reinforcing cordierite with graphene together with advanced manufacturing holds the promise of substantially enhancing their properties, thereby expanding their utility. This study establishes the groundwork for employing ceramic injection moulding (CIM) in the production of complex shape parts made of cordierite reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The adequacy of direct rGO addition to the binder components for obtaining homogeneous rGO/powder dispersions and feedstock with good rheology is assessed. The debinding and sintering conditions are adjusted to maintain the graphemic species avoiding their degradation. The prevalence of graphene is tracked and demonstrated in all CIM steps by X-ray analysis and Raman spectroscopy.

Laponite® can be effectively dispersed in water, enhancing the dispersion of other elements in solution and preventing aggregation of solids. The structure and properties of synthetic Laponite® are described, highlighting its use in the textile industry as an additive for pigments and the formation of gels. Experimentally, Laponite® is used to adsorb phycocyanin, a cyanobacterial pigment, with the aim of achieving maximum adsorption.
