With the development of modern high-tech, advanced ceramics have gradually become an important component of new materials, serving as a key material for the development of many high-tech fields, attracting significant attention from industrially developed countries. Its development also greatly influences the progress of other industries. Due to the specific fine structure of advanced ceramics and their excellent properties such as high strength, high hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, conductivity, insulation, magnetism, light transmission, semiconductivity, piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, acousto-optics, superconductivity, and biocompatibility, they are widely used in national defense, chemical industry, metallurgy, electronics, machinery, aviation, aerospace, and biomedical fields.

The development of advanced ceramics is a new growth point for the national economy, and its research, application, and development status is one of the important indicators reflecting a country's comprehensive economic strength.
Advanced ceramics are defined as "ceramics made from highly selected or synthesized raw materials, with precisely controlled chemical compositions, processed using controllable manufacturing technologies, designed for structural convenience, and possessing excellent characteristics." Based on their properties and uses, they can be divided into two main categories: structural ceramics and functional ceramics.
Structural ceramics refer to ceramics that can be used as engineering structural materials. They possess characteristics such as high strength, high hardness, high elastic modulus, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and thermal shock resistance. Structural ceramics can be roughly divided into oxide systems, non-oxide systems, and ceramic matrix composites for structural use. Functional ceramics refer to a type of ceramics that have electrical, magnetic, optical, acoustic, superconducting, chemical, and biological properties, and have the ability to convert between these functions. Functional ceramics account for about 70% of the market share in advanced ceramics, with the remainder being structural ceramics.
As various functions of advanced ceramics continue to be discovered, their role as supporting materials in microelectronics, communications, automation control, and future intelligent technologies will become increasingly prominent, and their market capacity will continue to grow.

The demand for special ceramics in our country is huge.

Ceramic products are becoming increasingly diverse, and porcelain flutes have gained popularity among young people. In the past 20 years, the research and production of special ceramics in our country have made significant progress, but in terms of practical application, production levels, and degree of industrialization, we still lag far behind developed countries. At the International High-Tech Ceramic Expo in Jingdezhen, experts predict that by 2010 and 2015, the output value of special ceramics in our country will reach 30 billion and 45 billion yuan, respectively, indicating a huge market demand. Our country has abundant special ceramic resources and strong research capabilities. As of 2002, universities, research institutes, and production enterprises engaged in the development and research of special ceramics in our country have already...

Special ceramics may become popular in the future ceramic market, achieving high-tech industry.

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.
