Introduction of Ceramics What is Ceramics? A ceramic is an inorganic‚ non-metallic solid prepared by the action of heat and subsequent cooling. Ceramic materials may have a crystalline or partly crystalline structure‚ or may be amorphous (e.g.‚ a glass). Because most common ceramics are crystalline‚ the definition of ceramic is often restricted to inorganic crystalline materials‚ as opposed to the non-crystalline glasses. The word ceramic comes from the Greek word "κεραμικός" (keramikos)‚
