materialsscientistsaddthestipulationthat“ceramic”mustalsobecrystalline.陶瓷通常被概括地定義為無機(jī)的非金屬材料。照此定義，陶瓷材料也應(yīng)包括玻璃；然而許多材料科學(xué)家添加了“陶瓷”必須同時是晶體物組成的約定。Aglassisaninorganicnonmetallicmaterialthatdoesnothaveacrystallinestructure.Suchmaterialsaresaidtobeamorphous.玻璃是沒有晶體狀結(jié)構(gòu)的無機(jī)非金屬材料。這種材料被稱為非結(jié)晶質(zhì)材料。PropertiesofCeramicsandGlassesSomeoftheusefulpropertiesofceramicsandglassesincludehighmeltingtemperature,lowdensity,highstrength,stiffness,hardness,wearresistance,and
