Electronics and electrotechnics
Electronics represent 70% of the technical ceramics market worldwide. Ceramics have numerous and very varied applications in electronics and new ones are being discovered every day. Ceramic (...)
Medical
Bioceramics: a precious asset for medicine. Their chemical neutrality and composition - which closely resembles that of natural bone - enable ceramics to preserve their properties after (...)
Aeronautics and aerospace
When ceramics play the role of composites In the aeronautic and aerospace industries, ceramics are essentially thermostructural materials with very high added value. In other words, we expect (...)
Energy and transport
Precious and indispensable ceramics Resistant to deformation in the heat of an oven or an engine running at high speed; resistant to wear from repeated rubbing; resistant to various assaults (...)
The environment
At the service of a major problem Environmental protection is a major concern and serious problem for present and future generations. Problems such as toxic gas production, exhaust fumes, water (...)
Ceramic coatings
An important development The mechanical and electronic industries are increasingly demanding in terms of the properties of the materials that they use and the constraints that they impose upon (...)
Metallurgy and ceramic industries
Refractory ceramics for blast furnaces Metals and alloys are manufactured at very high temperatures - up to 2000°C for some special steels. Advances in the iron and steel industry have always (...)
Design and home
Traditional applications, constant progress Ceramics have always been present in construction and the home; traditional techniques, perfected over the millenia, are constantly being improved, (...)
Various applications
Agricultural Spraying Around thirty years ago, a French agricultural sprayer manufacturer came up with the idea of using ceramic sprayer nozzles. The metal or plastic nozzles that had previously (...)
Heat resistance: refractory ceramics
A refractory material that behaves in the same way at room temperature as at high temperatures. More precisely, a material is said to be refractory when it withstands temperatures of over 1500 (...)
Electricity: exceptionally gifted ceramics
Dozens of different families of ceramics are used in electronics, each one for its own specific properties. The applications of ceramics are very varied, and spectacular progress has been made (...)
Hardness and resistance to wear: the mechanical properties of ceramics
Ceramics are highly sought after for their hardness and tenacity, and they can be used to produce coatings and materials that are very resistant to wear. The low density of ceramics also gives (...)

What are ceramics?
During the firing of a ceramic, the raw material (traditionally a clay-based earth) undergoes an irreversible transformation and acquires new properties . These properties are well known: (...)
Traditional Ceramics
Traditional ceramics are those that we find in our everyday surroundings such as tableware and sanitary fittings. For a long time restricted to the domain of craftsmen, these traditional (...)
Technical ceramics, the new arrivals in the family
Today, technical ceramics have very little in common with their origins. They have unique and astonishing properties, whether physical, thermal, optical or electrical, which open up a whole new (...)
