Cement is considered a ceramic material because it consists of inorganic compounds that are formed through high-temperature processes, similar to traditional ceramics. When cement is mixed with water, it undergoes a chemical reaction called hydration, resulting in the formation of hardened, durable substances that exhibit ceramic-like properties. Additionally, once cured, cement displays characteristics such as high compressive strength, low electrical conductivity, and resistance to heat, which are typical of ceramic materials.
