https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj A chemestry review of the interactions between the compounds. Investigation proyect about the compounds that provides caracter to glazes. Which are the compounds? How it works? en-us 2022-06-16 05:54:42 UTC 2025-11-13 20:42:22 UTC hello@padlet.com lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2222741537 *Lower or raise the melting point
* Generate molecular kinetic motion in the presence of heat, thus increasing Entropy. Entropy is desorder, chaos. This is one of the basic Termodinamic concepts that amaze me because is the measure of desorder. We live in a world that is dinamic and the molecular movements makes desorder, nothing is perfect. Excellent teach of nature!!! 
*They need another compound to organize the molecules.

Being amphoteric (dual compound) it acts in one way or another depending on which compound is present. Either a metal or non-metal. *In more common words they are compounds that adapt to the situation and yield to the presence of others, but have character.

As its name says, they are compunds responsible for providing the glass to the glaze.

I have to recognize that mean while I was throwing, I was also imagine in my head how my pieces will look with different glazes. Then I realized I had no knowledge of this processes of glazes production and of that specific topic, so I decided to learn about this. This  was almost three years ago, every step to learn was autonomous process, thanks YouTube and Jhon Britt (https://www.youtube.com/c/johnbrittpottery) for all the information, but I was missing someone that can solve some specific questions I had about the chemestry of the compunds. Finally this year I found my Neo, the chosen one hahaha. His name is Ovelio. He is from Venezuela and cames to Colombia to live in Medellin, as we all know, the economical situation of Venezuela is really hard, so he migrate to Medellin since his wife is from there. Ovelio, such a nice man, used to worked with "Materiales cerámicos Matcer CA and Colorificio Pordecar" in Venezuela, he have a lot of experience and knowledge, the best part is that he is open to share this knowledge and I´m like a little sponge full of curosity and willing to absorb all the possible information. At the moment I´m working with him and this has been the best month of my glaze ceramic life indeed. One thing for sure is that Ove has  explained to me the interactions of chemical compounds, what gives them their shape and character. With this information, now, I´m able to understand the material in order to formulate my own glazes and also to get closer to the understanding of the matter. I want to share this with whoever wants to read me and know me as well. Here is the first steps of my investigative process in case there is someone looking for answers to those same doubts I used to had.

Alumina has a structure that is close-packed and almost hexagonal, a which acts as a good stabilizer.

Sodium oxide, when mixed with water, becomes sodium hydroxide (NaOH). When sodium oxide reacts with silica, it breaks up the silica network, making it easier to melt it down, acting as a flux.]]> 2022-09-07 10:49:21 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2286205442 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2286212016 Silica, the short name for silicon dioxide (SiO2) is by far the most common glass former. Boron and phosphorus are also glass formers, but are usually mixed with silica. Silica molecules join together to form strong, giant networks. Each oxygen atom is shared by two silicon atoms and as the molecules combine, they chemically form covalent bonds in a tetrahedron with a silicon atom at the center and oxygen atoms at the corners. This structure requires extremely high temperatures to melt -3110 F/1710 C- and therefore a flux is required to drop the melting point to a reasonable measure.]]> 2022-09-07 10:57:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2286212016 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2287368036 https://edu.rsc.org/feature/the-chemistry-of-pottery/2020245.article]]> 2022-09-08 01:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2287368036 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2287369033 2022-09-08 01:36:43 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2287369033 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288859165 2022-09-08 21:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288859165 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288860120 2022-09-08 21:02:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288860120 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288862146 2022-09-08 21:05:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288862146 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288871792 2022-09-08 21:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288871792 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288908021 2022-09-08 22:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288908021 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288976302 AFTER HEAT]]> 2022-09-09 00:11:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288976302 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288976642 BEFORE HEAT]]> 2022-09-09 00:12:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288976642 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288978067 2022-09-09 00:14:05 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288978067 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288979085 2022-09-09 00:15:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288979085 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288991697 2022-09-09 00:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288991697 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288996909 2022-09-09 00:39:20 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2288996909 lapajarA https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2289000545 2022-09-09 00:43:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lapajarA/4jbgzonunezkfumj/wish/2289000545
