Summary

Mechanical, physical and chemical properties of ceramic materials are strongly dependent on the microstructure. Thus, the optimization of the microstructure plays a key role for a further improvement of advanced ceramics. The basis of microstructural optimization of ceramics is the relationship between processing, microstructure and properties. In these three fields, at present, extreme demands are put on microstructural characterization of ceramic materials. Microstructural characterization implies, besides the stereometric parameters, the analysis of the chemical composition and structure of the phases present in the material which in many cases have dimensions on an atomic level. In this paper the need for microanalytical characterization of advanced ceramics is pointed out from the materials point of view. Particularly, three topics are discussed:

  • problems and development lines in the field of advanced ceramics,

  • consequences for analytical investigations which are deduced from these problems, and

  • typical examples of analytical problems, and efforts to solve these problems by applying different analytical methods.

These topics will be discussed based on examples of highstrength and high-temperature ceramic materials, monolithic ceramics and ceramics composites.
