“…However, there has been advanced research in technology in terms of materials, tools, equipment, and techniques that are not farfetched. Chemical engineering and material science research have opened up possibilities for producing innovative results in this field [3]. Observations made at the plaque-producing centres attest that these plaque craftsmen are not abreast with modern technologies, hence the constant production of the same number of plaques pregnant with the same problems that have existed over the years.…”

The Commemorative Plaque Industry thrives at the hands of the local craftsmen in Ghana. Techniques, methods, tools, and materials used as handed to them by their previous masters have remained the same over the years. As a result, plaques produced had peculiar problems such as text fading, degrading the actual effect of the plaques. Additionally, metals once widely used for making plaques devoid of text fading in the industry seem to have lost their relevance due to metal plaque theft, rust on metal plaques, and the continuous rise in metal prices. This research uses descriptive, experimental, and case studies of the qualitative research method to examine the problems associated with locally produced commemorative plaques. A total of hundred (100) artisans, including metal scrap dealers, and plaque buyers, were selected for the study. Direct observation and face-to-face interviews were conducted with the local craftsmen, art lecturers and students, scrap dealers, and plaque buyers who were purposively sampled for the study. The study revealed that existing materials like ceramic and aluminium could be integrated innovatively to produce commemorative plaques devoid of text fading; a corrosion-resistant text could be made using anodized or coated metals used in smaller quantities to reduce costs while also making them unattractive for theft and lastly, silicone sealant was found to be a viable option for permanently inscribing text on porcelain bases. The results clarify and underline the necessity to grow the local plaque industry in terms of plaque production as another essential basis to assure high-quality plaques with no text fading that will survive for generations to serve their intended purpose.

The project is devoted to the study of the ceramic properties of the Orenburg region clay in order to determine the fields of its application in industry. Mineral, chemical, disperse compositions, as well as the sintering properties of the clay sample are determined. It was found that clay of the Orenburg region (Russian Federation) is the main clay with a high content of coloring oxides, medium dispersion, moderate plasticity, good drying, little sensitive to drying. The mineral composition of clay is determined. The main phases are kaolinite, smectite, illite, and quartz. The possible areas of using clay in the ceramics production are determined. This clay can be used to produce ceramic tiles of groups AII (b-1, b-2), AIII, BII (b), BIII in accordance with GOST 13996–2019, ceramic bricks of grade M200 and higher in accordance with GOST 530–2012, and to produce ceramic tiles in accordance with GOST 56688–2015.
