Concept explainers
To compare: The properties of modern ceramics to that of traditional ceramics, and to state some uses of modern ceramics.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: Ceramics are chemical resistant to oxygen, acids, bases and salts.
Traditional ceramics are made of clay, silica or crystalline rocks, but modern ceramics contain a combination of metals and non-metals.
Modern ceramics are customized to
The modern ceramics have enhanced properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness, compared to traditional ceramics.
Due to its enhanced properties modern ceramics are used to make floor tiles, cars, sanitary ware and even electronic devices.
Conclusion: Ceramics can be customized to have nontraditional properties which makes it useful for a wide variety of applications.
