Synopsis
This course deals with bonding, structure and the physical and
chemical properties that are influenced mostly by the type of
bonding rather than the microstructure, such as defect structure
and the atomic and electron transport in ceramics. There will be
some limited coverage of properties that are dependent on
microstructure, such as fracture toughness,optical, magnetic and
dielectric properties
