Advanced Ceramics Materials

Advanced ceramics materials, substances and processes used in the advancement and manufacture of ceramic materials that exhibit special properties. A ceramic material is a non-metallic, inorganic, often crystalline oxide, nitride material. Some elements like carbon or silicon may be considered as ceramics. Ceramic materials are hard and strong in compression, weak in shearing and tension. They resist chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic environments. Ceramics generally can withstand very high temperatures.
