functional ceramics

Functional ceramics are specialized ceramic materials designed to perform specific technical roles rather than just serving as structural components. They possess unique properties, such as being electrically conductive, insulating, transparent to certain wavelengths of light, or resistant to high temperatures and corrosion. These tailored properties enable their use in advanced applications like electronics, medical devices, sensors, and energy systems. Unlike traditional ceramics used for pottery or construction, functional ceramics are engineered for high-performance functionalities, combining ceramic's durability with precise physical or chemical characteristics suited to innovative technological solutions.
