- Advanced Ceramics are high-performance, non-metallic, inorganic materials that are engineered for superior mechanical, thermal, electrical, or chemical properties.
- Advanced Ceramics are manufactured under tightly controlled conditions using refined and purified raw materials.
- Unlike traditional ceramics, advanced ceramics are designed for specific applications such as electronics, aerospace, medical devices, and energy systems, often requiring high strength, hardness, thermal resistance, and chemical stability.
- Traditional Ceramics are ceramic materials made from natural raw materials such as clay, quartz, and feldspar, typically formed and fired at high temperatures.
- Traditional Ceramics are widely used in everyday applications like pottery, tableware, and artware.
- Unlike advanced ceramics, which are often synthetic and designed for specialized applications, traditional ceramics utilize natural raw materials and are known for their affordability and widespread use.
- Architectural and Sanitary Ceramics refer to ceramic products designed for use in buildings and interior spaces, primarily for functional and decorative purposes.
- These ceramics are valued for their durability, water resistance, hygiene, and aesthetic appeal.
- They are a subcategory of traditional ceramics and are widely used in residential, commercial, and public infrastructure.
