The word ceramic is derived from the greek term keramos, which means “potter’s
clay” and keramikos means “clay products”. Till 1950s, the most important types of
ceramics were the traditional clays, made into pottery, bricks, tiles etc. Ceramic
artefacts play an important role in historical understanding of the technology and
culture of the people who lived many years ago.
A ceramic material is an inorganic, non-metallic material and is often crystalline.
Traditional ceramics are basically clays. The earliest application was in pottery. Most
recently, different types of ceramics used are alumina, silicon carbide etc. Latest
advancements are in the bio-ceramics with examples being dental implants and
synthetic bones.
A comparative analysis of ceramics with other engineering materials is shown in table
1. The purpose of presenting this comparative analysis is to show importance of
ceramics among different engineering metals and polymers. This comparison would
enable to justify application areas of ceramics.The word ceramic is derived from the greek term keramos, which means “potter’s
