APPLYING AND USING OF GLASSES AND CERAMICS

GLASSES CERAMICS

Properties Type Examples

Properties Examples

GLASS
Useful substances which is transparent Found in sand The main component: Silica @ silicon (IV), SiO2

Glass Properties
Inert

Uses
Household things Construction material Industry purpose Laboratory apparatus

Examples:
Lamp, bottle, plate, bowl, kitchenware Window Bulb, mirror, car industry Magnifier glass, burette, beaker, test tube, prism

Transparent

Inert and easy to clean

CERAMICS
Made from clay Need a high temperature Main component: aluminosilicate, aluminium oxide and silicon

Ceramic properties
Made from clay
Attractive and non-rust Electric insulator

Uses
Construction material
As decoration As electric insulator in electric ware

Examples
Bricks, tiles, cement
Porcelain Insulator in iron

As semiconductor

Microchip

Microchip in computer, telephone

Use in microchip

Heat insulator

As heat insulator

FUSED SILICATE GLASS

SODA LIME GLASS

TYPES & PROPERTIES OF GLASSES

LEAD GLASS

BOROSILICATE GLASS

SEMI CONDUCTOR

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Uses of ceramics
MEDIC SECTOR ELECTRIC INSULATOR DECORATION

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

Very hard and tough Ex: bricks, tiles, cement and under ground pipe

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

NEW IDEA OF GLASS AND CERAMIC Potochromic glass Glass that is sensitive to light. Turned dark at light area and light at dark area Conduction glass Glass that can conduct electric Use in pilot window, to avoid ice on glass

 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
