If the first thing you think of when you hear the word "ceramic" is a coffee cup--you're right. Coffee cups are very traditional ceramic products. Other traditional ceramics include construction materials like concrete, bricks, or glass. But ceramic materials are also the stuff that is enabling the Information Age, improving your golf game, and taking us into space. The same types of materials that have been used for decades to build buildings and roads, and make our dinner plates, are now being used in high-tech applications. Designer ceramics include engine parts that enhance performance, fiber optics for high-speed communications, bioceramics for medical implants, ceramic elements for integrated electronics, and heat resistant tiles for the space shuttle. One key to the widespread use of ceramics is the abundance of inexpensive raw materials--like sand--that are used to make this class of nonmetallic, inorganic materials.
Thus today, ceramic engineers are no longer limited to working only with naturally occurring materials. With modern processing techniques, a whole spectrum of new ceramic materials with unusual mechanical, electrical, magnetic, and optical properties has been developed. For the inquiring mind of a ceramic engineer, there is a new challenge every day to produce useful solid materials.
