Ceramics in Transportation

Engine designers are always looking for alternative approaches to lower cost and emissions and increase fuel economy and performance. One approach to improve automobile designs is through material substitutions. Ceramics may be the enabling technology for many critical components in engines of the future because of their unique heat, wear, and corrosion resistance, light weight, [...]

Ceramics & the Military

A variety of ceramic materials are finding their way into military vehicles and other technologies. Engine components, missile radomes, and personal/vehicular armor are just a few of the applications. For the last half century, ceramics have been used for personnel and light vehicle protection against small arms and machine gun threats. Whether it is protecting [...]

2008 Friedberg Lecture: Hunting the Perovskite Range - Harlan Anderson

Harlan U. Anderson Anderson discusses the properties and characteristics of this unique class of ceramics which allow them to be utilized both as electrical insulators as well as electrical conductors. He also provides examples in which the properties are tailored to meet requirements of specific applications: capacitors, solid oxide fuel cells, and sensors.
