Annotation -
This course provides a comprehensive overview of ceramic science and technology. In the first, general, part a survey is given on raw materials, ceramic technology as a whole as well as the microstructure and properties of ceramics. In the second, special, part the main groups of ceramic materials are treated from the chemical viewpoint (oxide, non-oxide and silicate ceramics) and from the viewpoint of microstructure and applications (refractories, porous and cellular, functional, bio- and nanomaterials).

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

classify and explain in detail the different ceramic raw materials, ceramic processing steps (shaping, drying, firing etc.), ceramic microstructures and properties of ceramic materials in general and in particular for the individual classes of ceramic materials grouped according to chemical criteria (oxide, non-oxide, silicate), microstructure (composites, porous / cellular ceramics, nanoceramics) and applications (refractories, functional and bioceramics). In this course the students will gain a self-contained and detailed base of knowledge necessary for work in the research and development of ceramic materials and processes.

Course completion requirements -

In order to become eligible for classification the student has to pass a written qualification test and defend an individual project. The final exam is oral and concerns the content of the whole lecture course.
