Objectives
To enable students of PPGEM to interpret and understand the nature and the origin of the structure and its influence on the properties of ceramic materials.
Motivation
It is generally accepted paradigm in the Materials Science and Engineering that selection, synthesis and processing that define the internal structure of materials and therefore determine its properties and finally its performance in use. Ceramic materials in particular have peculiar properties, such as, high brittle fracture when compared with metals. In order, to understand and interpret the behavior of ceramic materials against a particular request or from a microstructure specify the method of synthesis and processing a material, requires a thorough knowledge of ceramic crystal structures, defects in ceramics, mass transport, phase equilibrium and microstructure. It’s this approach and to fill this gap that the Physical Ceramics course should be offered in PPGEM.
