| Application(s) | In recent years, particular interest has been addressed by researchers in the synthesis and study of enstatite (MgSiO3). This is related with the good physical, chemical, electrical, mechanical properties of enstatite. In fact, it is useful for several technological applications such as substrates in electronics, as insulators at high frequencies, as materials for thermal insulation in applications at high temperatures, and mainly for laser technology luminescence. |
