Ceramics and Glasses

  This course introduces the  students to the fundamentals of ceramics and glasses. We aim to cover pertinent aspects of the processing, structure, technology, defect chemistry of different types of oxides are illustrated . Different processing techniques especially the Sintering of ceramic powders are mainly discussed. Hopefully, this course will also serve as a primer for more involved studies in ceramic engineering proper and thus lay the foundation for more detailed knowledge acquisition in Ceramic Materials and Engineering.
