Abstract

Having withstood the tests of time, ceramic materials are truly the materials of the ages. Artifacts made of ceramics have been identified with early civilizations that existed thousands of years ago. The durability of these ceramic materials has allowed them to bridge the gap between ancient and modern times. Basic durability sets ceramic materials apart, and is the primary characteristic that will guarantee them a place in the future.
