Synopsis

Ceramics are corrosion resistant and heat resistant materials which are formed by treating non-metallic minerals such as clay at high temperatures. Some examples of ceramics are porcelain, earthenware and brick. They are hard and brittle in nature and generally exhibit a semi-crystalline structure. Depending upon the treatment, they can be either vitrified or non-vitrified. Some general properties of ceramics are poor electrical conductivity, high melting temperature, chemical resistance and high moduli of elasticity. They find extensive application across various fields such as dentistry, aerospace and automobile industry. This book covers in detail some existent theories and innovative concepts revolving around properties, processing and applications of ceramics. It is a valuable compilation of topics, ranging from the basic to the most complex advancements in the field of ceramics. This book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.
