Preface
Inorganic chemistry is based on the understanding of various elements on the Earth, and the wide variety of functional materials have been created by chemical design starting from atoms or molecules. They are extensively used as essential and crucial matters in our life and industry activities and have also contributed to the development of new fields of environment, energy, informatics, biomaterials, and so on. Ceramics are typical inorganic materials. They have made a widespread evolution by generation of new substances, innovation of new technologies, and precise design of structure and morphology. The concept of material chemistry is a key for production and utilization of practical ceramics. This book introduces a comprehensive content from fundament to application on the backbone of inorganic synthetic chemistry and solid-state chemistry. Ceramic industries have advanced from traditional ceramic manufactures: pottery and porcelain, refractory, glass, and cement. They are produced by firing process using kiln. The raw materials are natural silicate compounds. Silicates are composed of silica, alumina, alkaline oxide, and alkaline earth oxide and easily mined on the Earth’s crust. The advantage is the low melting point. Therefore, sintered ceramics and melted glasses do not r
