new varieties of ceramics

With the development of modern science and technology, the past 100 years and there are many new varieties of ceramics. They no longer use or rarely use clay, feldspar, quartz and other traditional ceramic materials, but the use of other special materials, and even extended to non-silicate, the scope of non-oxide, and a lot of new technology. The United States and some European countries of the literature has "Ceramic" understanding of the term for a variety of inorganic non-metallic materials commonly known as solid. So the meaning of ceramics in fact go far beyond the traditional concept of the past a narrow.

So far, the Definition of ceramics might be summarized in the following description: a ceramic or aluminum silicate minerals, such as oxides of some major raw materials, in accordance with the specific intent by the physical and chemical process at high temperature to a certain Temperature and atmosphere made of a certain type of technology rock. Glazing or may not surface glazing, a number of porcelain also have varying degrees of semi-transparent, Tongti by one or more crystal and amorphous or cement clinker and stomata or inclusions, such as micro-structure components.

Portland industrial ceramics industry is one of the main branch, the scope of inorganic chemical industry. However, modern science and highly integrated, mutual penetration, the ceramic industry from the manufacturing process to analyze the content, it's complicated and involves a broad, inorganic chemistry is not only to the general theory.
