Advanced ceramics are substances that are used for the preparation of
ceramic materials with special properties. They are also called fine, engineering, high
performance, high tech or technical ceramics. Traditionally, ceramics are known to be
inorganic, non-metallic solids made of materials being powdered and then fabricated
into material by applying heat which exhibit strength, hardness brittleness and low
electrical conductivity. This chapter mainly deals with different types of advanced
ceramics, their characteristics and their environmental applications.
