    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porcelain

    Kaolin is the primary material from which porcelain is made, even though clay minerals might account for only a small proportion of the whole. The word paste is an old term for both unfired and fired materials. A more common terminology for the unfired material is "body"; for example, when buying materials a potter might order an amount of ...

  6. List of piezoelectric materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../List_of_piezoelectric_materials

    Piezoelectric materials (PMs) can be broadly classified as either crystalline, ceramic, or polymeric. [1] The most commonly produced piezoelectric ceramics are lead zirconate titanate (PZT), barium titanate, and lead titanate. Gallium nitride and zinc oxide can also be regarded as a ceramic due to their relatively wide band gaps.

  7. Ceramic art - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_art

    Most traditional ceramic products were made from clay (or clay mixed with other materials), shaped and subjected to heat, and tableware and decorative ceramics are generally still made this way. In modern ceramic engineering usage, ceramics is the art and science of making objects from inorganic, non-metallic materials by the action of heat.

    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.
