Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to various fundamental issues related to ceramic materials and many research aspects of advanced ceramics, divided into 16 chapters. Chapters 1–4 primarily introduce the structural properties of ceramic materials, while Chapters 5–8 cover thermodynamic problems and preparation methods of ceramic materials. Chapters 9–16, while interspersing discussions on the physical properties of ceramic materials, introduce two important types of ceramics: engineering structural ceramics and functional ceramic materials. The book strives to start from fundamental issues in physics, chemistry, and crystallography, closely linking the structural properties of ceramic materials with their physical properties to understand the variability of ceramic structures and the significant role of structural changes in enhancing material physical performance. This book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in material-related fields, as well as science and technology personnel engaged in material research, for systematic study or reference.
