Ceramic materials are inorganic, non-metallic materials that are typically made through the process of shaping and firing clay or other natural materials at high temperatures. Ceramics have a wide range of applications due to their unique properties, such as high hardness, chemical resistance, thermal stability, and electrical insulation. Research in ceramic materials focuses on developing new compositions, improving processing techniques, and understanding the structure-property relationships to enhance their performance in various industrial applications such as electronics, biomedical implants, aerospace components, and construction materials. Current research in ceramic materials also involves exploring the use of advanced techniques like additive manufacturing and nanotechnology to create ceramics with tailored properties for specific applications.
