New ceramics, due to their different chemical composition, microstructure, and properties compared to ordinary ceramics, are referred to as new ceramics or special ceramics. The different chemical compositions and organizational structures of new ceramics determine their unique properties and functions, such as high strength, high hardness, high toughness, corrosion resistance, conductivity, insulation, magnetism, light transmission, semiconductivity, as well as piezoelectric, optoelectronic, electro-optic, acousto-optic, and magneto-optic properties. Due to their special performance, these ceramics can be used as engineering structural materials and functional materials in fields such as machinery, electronics, chemical engineering, metallurgy, energy, medicine, lasers, nuclear reactions, and aerospace. Some economically developed countries, especially Japan and the United States.
