Objective
Materials surface characteristics as stone (slabs and tiles) and wood (panels and tiles), commonly utilised to realise manufactured goods, are influenced by their production strategies both in terms of materials utilised and superficial physical-chemical action applied. Both aspects influence final products esthetical characteristics and their quality in terms of durability, cost and processing actions to apply. Until now these aspects have not been scientifically investigated Industrial quality control approaches have been carried out on empirical and human base. Investigations (imaging, spectrophotometer, diffraction, SEM and AFM based) will be carried out, according to different production strategies and tests, to fully understand the physical-chemical characteristics and behaviour of surfaces. The study of such phenomena could reach
i) a strong energy saving through the adoption of specific processes and actions avoiding waste of energy during sawing and polishing and reducing consumption of materials (raw materials, abrasives, special tools)
ii) the possibility to define classes of quality and to certify the products;
iii) to obtain manufactured goods (sabs, tiles, panels) of higher durability for applications;
iv) reduction, of polishing costs affecting the final reducing consumption of price of products;
v)better working conditions for operators

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
