  • Relationship among the firing temperature, wetting properties and colonization clay roofing tile surfaces
    Ranogajec, Jonjaua ...
    The wettability of clay roofing tiles as a surface phenomenon plays a key roleconsi-dering their deterioration process during exploitation. The experimental investigations in this paper were ... performed combining the data ofthe material-relevant parameters and the surface wetting properties in orderto assess clay roofing tiles biodurability. The fun-gus Aspergillusniger was used as a model microorganism whose colonization and growth, during a period of 28 days on the tiles fired at two temperatures (900 and 1020oC), wasanalyzed. The paper confirms that the colonization of the tiles with the fun-gus goes through two stagesČ up to the 18th day, based on the surface characteristics, and after the 18th day when the textural characteristics (values of water absorption) are the dominant parameters.
