Usually a compound between metallic and non- metallic elements Always composed of more than one element (e.g., Al O , NaCl, SiC, SiO ) 2 3 2 Bonds are partially or totally ionic, and can have combination of ionic and covalent bonding Generally hard and brittle Generally electrical and thermal insulators Can be optically opaque, semi-transparent, or transparent Traditional ceramics – based on clay (china, bricks, tiles, porcelain), glasses. “New ceramics” for electronic, computer, aerospace industries.
