Contents:  Raw materials and their treatment (particle technology, rheology, industrial shaping processes, drying. High temperature processes (sintering, melting, crystallization). Traditional ceramics, cement, glass, glass ceramics, refractories and materials for thermal insulation. Advanced technical materials with special properties (chemical, mechanical, electrical, magnetic etc.). High performance coating materials (formed by CVD, PVD or electrochemical methods). The structure of ceramics (including nanostructures and their properties). Diffusion, ionic conductivity and kinetics in ceramics. Phase equilibria (especially the use of three-component phase diagrams).
