A ceramic is an inorganic, nonmetallic[a] solid material comprising material, nonmetal or metalloid atoms generally held in ionic and covalent bonds. The crystallinity of ceramic materials ranges from highly oriented to semi-crystalline, and often completely amorphous (e.g., spectacles). Varying crystallinity and electron usage in the ionic and covalent bonds cause most ceramic materials to be good thermal and electrical power insulators (extensively explored in ceramic engineering). With such a big range of possible options for the composition/structure of a ceramic (e.g. all the elements almost, all types of bonding nearly, and all levels of crystallinity), the breadth of the topic is vast, and identifiable traits (e.g. hardness, toughness, electrical conductivity, etc.) are hard to specify for the blended group all together. General properties such as high melting temperature, high hardness, poor conductivity, high moduli of elasticity, chemical resistance and low ductility are the norm,[1] with known exceptions to each one of these rules (e.g. piezoelectric ceramics, wine glass transition temps, superconductive ceramics, etc.). Many composites, such as carbon and fiberglass dietary fiber, while made up of ceramic materials, aren't regarded as area of the ceramic family.The word "ceramic originates from the Greek phrase ????????? (keramikos), "of pottery" or "for pottery",[3] from ??????? (keramos), "potter's clay, tile, pottery".[4] The initial known mention of the main "ceram-" is the Mycenaean Greek ke-ra-me-we, "employees of ceramics", written in Linear B syllabic script.[5] The term "ceramic" may be used as an adjective to spell it out a material, product or process, or it might be used as a noun, either singular, or, more commonly, as the plural noun "ceramics".The initial ceramics made by humans were pottery items, including 27,000-year-old figurines, created from clay, either by itself or mixed with other materials like silica, solidified, sintered, in open fire. Later ceramics were glazed and fired to make clean, colored surfaces, decreasing porosity by using glassy, amorphous ceramic coatings together with the crystalline ceramic substrates.[7] Ceramics now include domestic, commercial and building products, as well as an array of ceramic art. Inside the 20th century, new ceramic materials were developed for use in advanced ceramic anatomist, such such as semiconductors.Ceramic artifacts have an important role in archaeology for understanding the culture, technology and behavior of peoples of days gone by. They can be among the most typical artifacts to be found at an archaeological site, generally in the form of small fragments of broken pottery called sherds. Control of accumulated sherds can be consistent with two main types of evaluation: specialized and traditional.Traditional analysis will involve sorting ceramic artifacts, sherds and greater fragments into specific types predicated on style, composition, morphology and manufacturing. By creating these typologies you'll be able to distinguish between different cultural styles, the purpose of the ceramic and technological express of the cultural people among other conclusions. Furthermore, by looking at stylistic changes of ceramics over time is it possible to separate (seriate) the ceramics into distinct diagnostic groups (assemblages). A comparison of ceramic artifacts with known dated assemblages permits a chronological task of these items.[13]The technical approach to ceramic analysis involves a finer study of the composition of ceramic artifacts and sherds to look for the way to obtain the material and through this the possible developing site. Key requirements are the structure of the clay and the temper used in the manufacture of the article under study: temper is a materials added to the clay during the initial production stage, and it is utilized to aid the next drying process. Types of temper include shell bits, granite fragments and earth sherd parts called 'grog'. Temper is usually recognized by microscopic examination of the temper material. Clay identification is determined by an activity of refiring the ceramic, and assigning a color to it using Munsell Soil Color notation. By estimating both clay and temper compositions, and locating a region where both are recognized to occur, an assignment of the materials source can be made. From the source task of the artifact further investigations can be produced in to the site of produce.
