Question
Chapter 12, Problem 103E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Description of ceramics, cement and glass must be given.
Concept Introduction:
CERAMICS
- Ceramics are non-metallic inorganic solids that are used in structural applications.
- It is based on oxide, nitride, boride or carbide.
- They are hard but brittle.
- They have low electrical and thermal conductivity.
- They are chemically inert that is they do not react with most liquids, solids, gases, alkalis and acids.
- They are used in making strong, hard and abrasion resistant substances.
- Most common raw material used in making ceramics is clay.
CEMENT
- It is a binder.
- It is a finely powdered mixture of calcium silicates and aluminates.
- A substance which if mixed with water sets and adheres to other materials and binds them together.
- Made by grinding together a mixture of limestone and clay.
- Used commonly as a building material
- When cement is mixed with water the reaction that occurs is known as hydration. Hydration results in setting and hardening of cement.
GLASS
- A class of ceramics
- Is an amorphous solid material.
- It is made up of silica.
- It is similar in properties to ceramics like durability, strength, electrical conductivity and chemical inertness.
- Very rigid at room temperature but have irregular arrangement of constituent particle in crystal lattice.
- Have ability to flow very slowly and so is also called super-cooled liquid.
