Answer:
Ceramics
A ceramic is any of the various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature. ... Most often, fired ceramics are either vitrified or semi-vitrified as is the case with earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain.
Types of Ceramics
The word 'ceramics' has a very broad definition. In chemistry, ceramics refers to any non-metal, non-organic solid. So, this rules out iron or copper (because those are metal), as well as wood and plastic (because those are organic). This means that ceramics are things such as glass, graphite, diamonds, porcelain, and cement.
We can group ceramics based on how they are used:
- Structural
- Refractory
- Electrical
- Magnetic
- Abrasives
I hope this will be help you.
