Abstract

To extend the frontiers of research in ceramics science the following tentative trends have been considered: (1) nanostructure ceramics, (2) multiphased composites, and (3) design and tailoring ceramics. The first point concerns methods of processing ceramic materials, such as powder technology, forming technology, and sintering technology, especially at nanoscale. This research depends on both the development of technology and the choice of a scientific direction. The second point is theory. Theoretical investigations should be focused on the surface and grain boundary interface, the relationship between nanostructure and properties, and the compatibility of multiphase systems with expected properties. The third point is design and tailoring of ceramic materials. Ceramics science and related disciplines have been fully utilized to predict the optimal technology, as well as the new properties of ceramics.
