Ceramics or pottery, which means a form of clay which has undergone a process of combustion.

Dictionary and encyclopedia 1950 defines pottery as a result of art and technology to produce goods from burnt clay, such as pottery, tile, porcelain, and so on. But this time not all the tiles come from clay. Definition sense includes all the latest ceramic instead of metal and inorganic materials in the solid form.

Ceramic compounds generally more stable in the environment compared to thermal and chemical elements. Ceramic raw materials commonly used are ball clay, quartz, kaolin and water. The nature of the ceramic is determined by the crystal structure, chemical composition and mineral luggage. Therefore the properties of ceramics also depends on the geological environment in which the material is obtained. In general the structure is very complicated with a bit of free electrons.

The lack of free electrons ceramics make the most of the ceramic material is not a conductor of electricity and is also a bad conductor of heat. In addition, the ceramic has a fragile nature, hard, and rigid. Ceramics generally have a compressive strength better than its strength.
