The crystallinity of ceramic products ranges from very oriented to semi-crystalline, vitrified, and also typically entirely amorphous (e.g., glasses). Usually, discharged ceramics are either glazed or semi-vitrified as is the case with earthenware, ceramic, as well as porcelain. Varying crystallinity and also electron make-up in the ionic and covalent bonds trigger most ceramic materials to be excellent thermal as well as electrical insulators (extensively researched in ceramic design). With such a large variety of feasible choices for the composition/structure of ceramic (e.g. almost all of the aspects, almost all kinds of bonding, and all degrees of crystallinity), the breadth of the topic is huge and also recognizable attributes (e.g. solidity, durability, electric conductivity, etc.) are tough to specify for the team overall. General properties such as high melting temperature, high solidity, bad conductivity, high moduli of elasticity, chemical resistance and low ductility are the standard, with known exemptions to every one of these policies (e.g. piezoelectric ceramics, glass transition temperature, superconductive porcelains, and so on). Lots of compounds, such as fibreglass and also carbon fibre, while consisting of ceramic materials, are ruled out to be part of the ceramic family.

The earliest porcelains made by humans were ceramic objects (i.e. pots or vessels) or porcelain figurines made from clay, either on its own or combined with various other materials like silica, hardened as well as sintered in the fire. Later ceramics were polished and discharged to develop smooth, tinted surfaces, decreasing porosity with the use of glassy, amorphous ceramic layers in addition to the crystalline ceramic substrates. Ceramics now consist of domestic, commercial and structure items, as well as a large range of ceramic art. In the 20th century, brand-new ceramic materials were created for usage in sophisticated ceramic design, such as in semiconductors.

The word “ceramic” comes from the Greek word κεραμικός (keramikos), “of ceramic” or “for ceramic”, from κέραμος (keramos), “potter’s clay, floor tile, ceramic”. The earliest recognized mention of the root “ceram-” is the Mycenaean Greek ke-ra-me-we, “employees of ceramics”, written in Linear B syllabic manuscript. The word “ceramic” might be utilized as an adjective to describe a product, item or process, or it might be used as a noun, either singular or, a lot more typically, as the plural noun “porcelains”.
