Concept introduction:
Sol-gel method is a method for production of solid materials from small molecules. Sol-gel method is useful for production of metal oxides i.e. oxides of silicon or titanium.
Ceramics are inorganic, non-metallic, non-molecular solids, including both crystalline and amorphous materials. Ceramics have higher melting points, they are stiffer, harder, and more resistant to wear and corrosion than metals.
