SEMI CONDUCTOR
Certain ceramic can keep charge
in it
So, it can act as semiconductor
Ex: microchip use in television,
telephone, and calculator
CONSTRUCTION
MATERIAL
MEDIC SECTOR
Most of ceramic have
properties like hardness
and inert
Ex: man-made teeth
and leg
DECORATION
Non-rust, so suitable
for decoration
Ex: bowl, porcelain
ELECTRIC
INSULATOR
A good insulator
Ex: electric cable
Super conductor
Known as perovskit
Can conduct electric without resistance
Use to make magnet
Car engine block
Can avoid a high temperature
Make a complete combustion and can
reduce pollution
