Abstract

In the last three decades, great advances have been made in the mechanical properties of ceramics, reducing the presence of defects, increasing the degree of homogeneity and improving the microstructure in order to increase strength. The advent of the manufacture of laminated ceramic composites is improving the properties of ceramic materials.
