Ceramic is not just humanity's oldest synthetic material but also the key to developing new technologies. Without ceramic, comfortable living and fine dining would be just as inconceivable as modern electronics, manufacturing engineering, metallurgy, energy technology, medical technology, and aviation and space travel. This completely revised volume deals with the scientific and technological principles of ceramic.
