About

    Ceramics is a branch of materials science and engineering that involves the study of inorganic, non-metallic materials, typically crystalline structures, such as pottery, bricks, tiles, glass, and porcelain. Ceramics can be brittle, but can also be made stronger through various processing techniques. They are known for their high temperature resistance, hardness, and corrosion resistance, making them useful in a wide range of applications such as in electronics, aerospace, construction, and biomedicine. Research in ceramics involves studying their properties, composition, processing techniques, and potential applications in various industries.
