However as a materials class the following characteristics are typical.

Mechanical properties of ceramics and glasses. The mechanical properties of glass ceramics depend not only on the nature of the precipitated phases and the glassy matrix but also on the microstructure texture of the material. They can be classified in the following application areas. High modulus of elasticity stiffness. Advanced ceramics and glasses include a wide range of chemical compositions crystal phases and varying microstructures.
