Overall assessment of the subject: Ceramic materials are based on the exam and grade from the assigned project.

Ceramics, ceramic technology, properties of ceramic materials, sintering and phase equilibria in ceramic system, structural and functional ceramics, oxide and non-oxide kinds of ceramics (composition, properties, structure and use), transformation-reinforced ceramics, ceramics for refractory applications, bioceramic materials analysis and tests on ceramic materials.

Introduction to ceramic materials technology and classical ceramics: definition, classification, raw materials and their processing, forming, heat treatment, and treatment.
Sintering of ceramic materials
Structural ceramics: classification, preparation, properties and uses
Functional ceramics: classification, preparation, properties and uses
Non-oxide ceramics: classification, preparation, properties and uses
Ceramic materials for refractory applications: cutting, preparation, properties and applications, žáromonolity

Topics covered in the subject: Ceramic Materials include traditional and advanced ceramic materials, i.e. highly engineered, high performance, predominantly non-metallic, inorganic ceramic materials, having specific functional attributes. It also includes bioceramics as an advanced technical ceramic used as a medical device to interact with biological systems. Students will also learn non-traditional methods of preparing these materials or their precursors. Further, the relationships between the structure and properties of ceramic materials and the methodologies used to determine the relationship between their composition, structure and properties are discussed in order to teach students how to influence these properties in a desirable way. During the course each student will elaborate a project on a given topic:
1) Oxide ceramics
2) Non-oxide ceramics
3) Composite material consisting of at least one distinct metallic and on distinct ceramic phase, i.e. cermet
4) Advanced technical ceramic with ferromagnetic behaviour, i.e. ferrite
5) Semiconducting ceramics
6) Piezoelectric ceramics, piezoceramics
7) High-temperature superconductor (HTS)
