PrintSummary
In this lesson, we continued to explore how the crystal structure can affect materials properties, in this case, the properties of ceramic materials. In addition to learning about ceramic crystal structure, the properties of the several forms of carbon were presented. These property combinations make carbon extremely important in many commercial sectors, including the cutting-edge field of nanotechnology that we will explore further in a later lesson. Numerous applications of ceramics, including glass, clays, refractories, and abrasives were introduced and discussed.
