"Ceramics" are the materials which are often misunderstood as materials used merely for pottery and decorative objects.Even though the word ceramic is derived from the Greek word "Keramos",what many people don't realize is that ceramics play an important role almost everywhere you see and many times in places that you can't.Besides the everyday objects of glassware and floor tiles,the ceramics of today are critical in helping computers and other electronic devices operate,in medical devices for improving people's health in various ways ,in providing global telecommunications,and in protecting soldiers and vehicles during combat.Various “advanced ceramic “products are manufactured by combining high-purity chemicals into desired shapes and then heating them to very high temperature.
