Ceramic materials are end products of clays, glass and cements, typically fired at high temperatures of up to 2000 degrees, F. Ceramic materials are hard, porous, and brittle, and can be semiconductors or insulators.
Clay is a natural material comprised of fine-grained minerals that are the result of volcanic and tectonic plate activity and weathering. Clays show plasticity through a variable range of water content. While clays were the traditional source material for ceramics, modern use of the term ceramics includes other mineral sources.
Clay is one source material for some ceramic end products. And not all clays make good ceramics. Clays are defined by their chemical/molecular structures, and are distinct mineral species found in nature. Ceramics are man-made materials used for industrial and consumer products. Ceramics include porcelain, which happens to be made from a white clay called Kaolin.
