The materials of the technical ceramics dispose of properties and property combinations, which in many relationships of other materials can not be reached. Technical ceramics are characterized by their excellent electrical properties such as excellent electrical insulation, high dielectric strength, low dielectric losses. Read More…

Technical ceramics differs from the established decorative ceramics or use ceramic tiles as well as, inter alia, by the purity and the close tolerance grain size of their precursors, and often by special firing process.
An important advantage of the technical ceramics is the constancy of their properties, especially their strength, temperature resistance and wear-and corrosion resistance. Read More…

Introduction: The properties of a ceramic product either in its final state, i.e. after the forming and sintering process, highly dependent on the nature and characteristics of powders used as raw material. Purity, particle size distribution, reactivity, shape of particles, productivity and cost of raw materials should be factors to consider during the design and manufacturing of any ceramic product.

The ceramics studio is now one of the main elements of archaeological analysis in medieval times. The research developed in recent years around the archaeological site of Madinat Ilbira have demonstrated significant contributions to the knowledge of history and historical pottery. These works have been completed to significant gaps in general knowledge of medieval history. Read More…

Ceramic materials have properties well suited for structural applications such as hardness, relatively low density and high resistance to corrosion and wear. However, its widespread use in structural applications will never be possible if their response is not optimized for long-term low mechanical. Any possibility of massive use of ceramic materials for the manufacture of structural components involves the design and development of microstructures that do break the mechanical behavior of brittle materials. Thus, ICV working on obtaining ceramic materials with improved mechanical behavior. Read More…

The invention of the potter’s wheel, in the Age of Metals, came to improve the design and finishing, as well as cooking in the oven that was stronger and extended the range of colors and textures. In principle, it was only around a wheel affixed to a vertical wooden shaft inserted into the ground, and made her turn to reach the speed necessary to produce the piece. Gradually evolved, the introduced a second round was higher and the turn around by a movement of the foot, then added a motor, which gave the wheel a different speed as required. Read More…

The invention of pottery took place during the Neolithic revolution, when needed containers to store surplus crops produced by the practice of agriculture. At first this pottery is modeled by hand, using techniques such as pinch, the Columbian or plate (hence the irregularity of its surface), and just left to dry in the sun in hot countries and around the tribal fires the cold zone. Later became decorated with geometric means of incisions in the dried pasta, increasingly complex, and beautiful design perfect determined, together with the application of cooking, the appearance of a new profession: that of the potter.
