, Abstract:

This is an overview of the chapters: Structure and Properties of Ceramics

and Applications and Processing of Ceramics. The Structure and Properties of

Ceramics gives detailed information on the crystal structures of ceramics, ceramics

mainly composed of silica, carbon, and its various forms; the flaws in ceramics,

including the Frenkel and the Schottky defects; the phase diagrams of ceramics;

impurities that may be found in ceramics; the mechanical characteristics of

ceramics, including their brittle structures and their behavior in relation to stress

and strain; by which mechanisms diffusion in ionic materials occur, various

mechanical considerations and how crystalline and non-crystalline ceramics

undergo plastic deformation. The Applications and Processing of Ceramics

explains how ceramics are classified based on their applications and how the

fabrication and processing are done to impart knowledge on how the thermal and

mechanical characteristics affect the applications and processing of ceramics.
