| Description: | Chapter 14 of a Sophomore introductory course at the University of Virginia. The Chapter begins: "Ceramics properties that are different from those of metals lead to different uses. In structures, designs must be done for compressive loads. The transparency to light of many ceramics leads to optical uses, like in windows, photographic cameras, telescopes and microscopes. Good thermal insulation leads to use in ovens, the exterior tiles of the Shuttle orbiter, etc. Good electrical isolation are used to support conductors in electrical and electronic applications. The good chemical inertness shows in the stability of the structures thousands of years old." |
