What is it?
Advanced ceramics are high-performance materials that exhibit superior mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties compared to traditional ceramics. These materials, which include oxide and non-oxide ceramics, are engineered to withstand extreme conditions and provide enhanced functionality in a wide range of applications.
Why is it important?
Advanced ceramics enable the development of high-performance components and systems that can operate in demanding conditions, such as high temperatures, corrosive environments, or under heavy loads. The unique thermal, electrical, and mechanical properties of advanced ceramics can help improve the efficiency of various energy conversion and storage systems, such as fuel cells, batteries, and solar cells. The use of advanced ceramics in critical components can significantly improve the durability and reliability of products, reducing maintenance requirements and extending service life.
