Course Objective 本課程以訓練學生對陶瓷材料性質認識，並進而介紹陶瓷材料基本製程。課程重點在陶瓷粉体製備成形方法，燒結及燒結理論，除加強學生認識傳統陶瓷外，並對結構陶瓷與電子陶瓷之應用，作有系統的介紹。 This course aims at training the knowledge of ceramics materials and to introduce the basic manufacturing process of ceramics materials.The focus of this course is the formation method of ceramics powder, sintering and sintering theory. Except for strengthening the perception of traditonal ceramics, it also has a systematic introduction to the application of structural ceramics and electronic ceramics..

Course Schedule
(Week 1-16) 1. Outline and Chemical Elements 2. Minerals and Ceramic Raw Materials 3. Chemical Bonding in Ceramic Materials, Electronegativity 4. Hardness, Melting Points and Boiling Points, and Structure 5. Crystal Systems 6. Theoretical Density 7. Miller Indices and Zone Axes 8. Morphology and Crystal Growth 9. Mechanical Properties: Cleavage and Slip 10. Surface Properties: Wetting and Etching 11. Symmetry Elements and Point Groups 12. Neumann’s Law and Tensor Properties 13. Bond Lengths and Atomic Radii 14. Ionic Radii: Trends and Regularities 15. Pauling’s Rules for Ionic Structures 16. Prediction of Structures for Crystals and Glasses 17. Zachariasen’s Rules and Structure of Glass 18. Clays and Other Layer Silicates 19. Phase Diagrams and Crystal Chemistry 20. Types of Solid Solutions 21. Phase Transformations and Structure 22. Structure Changes with Temperature and Pressure 23. Thermal Expansion and Structure 24. Specific Heat, Thermal Conductivity, and Structure
