This article provides an overview of ceramics in materials science, focusing on their properties and diverse applications. Ceramics, known for their lightweight nature, heat resistance, and poor thermal conductivity, play crucial roles in automotive and aerospace industries. They are used in catalytic converters, oxygen sensors, and even for visualizing internal engine processes. While their brittleness limits structural applications, advances in composite materials—combining ceramics with metals or polymers—address this limitation. For aerospace, ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) enhance fuel efficiency and heat resistance, supporting higher combustion temperatures and weight reduction. Research continues to explore the potential of ceramics and composites, including smart materials and bio-inspired designs, to meet future demands in engineering and technology.
