Ceramics have unique characteristics (e.g., high resilience and strength, tunable electronic and ionic transport, bio-compatibility, ferroelectric response) that make them desirable for a variety of different applications. At UF, ceramics research tackles material design and processing challenges related to gas-turbine engines, battery materials, nuclear energy, drug delivery, and many more!
