  2. Clay mineral - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clay_mineral

    Clay is a very fine-grained geologic material that develops plasticity when wet, but becomes hard, brittle and non–plastic upon drying or firing. [2] [3] [4] It is a very common material, [5] and is the oldest known ceramic. Prehistoric humans discovered the useful properties of clay and used it for making pottery. [6]

  3. Ceramic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic

    Ceramic material is an inorganic, metallic oxide, nitride, or carbide material. Some elements, such as carbon or silicon, may be considered ceramics. Ceramic materials are brittle, hard, strong in compression, and weak in shearing and tension. They withstand the chemical erosion that occurs in other materials subjected to acidic or caustic ...

    Porcelain dish, Chinese Qing, 1644–1911, Hard-paste decorated in underglaze cobalt blue V&A Museum no. 491-1931 [1] Victoria and Albert Museum, London. Hard-paste porcelain, sometimes called "true porcelain", is a ceramic material that was originally made from a compound of the feldspathic rock petuntse and kaolin fired at a very high temperature, usually around 1400 °C.

  7. Stoneware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoneware

    Traditionally made of fine-grained secondary, plastic clays which can be used to shape very large pieces. Fine stoneware: made from more carefully selected, prepared, and blended raw materials. It is used to produce tableware and art ware. Chemical stoneware: used in the chemical industry, and when resistance to chemical attack is needed.

  8. Modelling clay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelling_clay

    Articles made from oil-based clays cannot be fired, and thus are not ceramics. Because rising temperature decreases oil viscosity, the malleability is influenced by heating or cooling the clay. Oil-based clay is not water-soluble. As it can be re-used, it is a material commonly used by stop motion animators who need to bend and move their ...

  9. Geopolymer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geopolymer

    A cement is a binder, whereas concrete is the composite material resulting from the mixing and hardening of cement with water (or an alkaline solution in the case of geopolymer cement), and stone aggregates. Materials of both types (geopolymer cements and geopolymer concretes) are commercially available in various markets internationally.
