Finished COE graphs, alumina to CEC comparison charts. Okay, so I lead a boring life! It is what we Nerds do.

  COE is a useful material property after firing; the material is significantly changed (aka chemical reactions have taken place) from the water/solids mixture where CEC is measured. An empirical correlation based on a large and wide ranging data set would be interesting and perhaps useful.
  
  What leads you to expect there is a causal relationship between Coefficient Of Expansion and Cation Exchange Capacity?
