Bio-inspired Hydro-Pressure Consolidation of Silica - Supplementary Material

Detailed studies related to Bio-Inspired Hydro-Pressure (HyPS) Consolidation of Silica. These studies comprehend a demonstration of the Ostwlad ripening participation in the dynamics of HyPS process, an assessment of the influence of process variables on the final consolidation of the samples, and an evaluation of the mechanical properties of HyPS samples, including Vickers micro-hardness and indentation fracture toughness
