A cephalodium ( pl. cephalodia ) is a small gall-like structure found in some lichens . They occur only in lichens which contain both cyanobacterial and green algal partners. Cephalodia can occur within the tissues of the lichen, or on its upper or lower surface. Lichens with cephalodia can fix nitrogen , and may be an... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cephalodium |

Ceramic foam is a tough foam made from ceramics . Manufacturing techniques include impregnating open-cell polymer foams internally with ceramic slurry and then firing in a kiln , leaving only ceramic material. The foams may consist of several ceramic materials such as aluminium oxide , a common high-temperature ceramic... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_foam |
Ceramic glaze , or simply glaze , is a glassy coating on ceramics. It is used for decoration, to ensure the item is impermeable to liquids and to minimize the adherence of pollutants. [ 1 ]
Glazing renders earthenware impermeable to water, sealing the inherent porosity of earthenware. It also gives a tougher surface. ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_glaze |
A ceramic knife is a knife with a ceramic blade typically made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO 2 ; also known as zirconia), [ 1 ] rather than the steel used for most knives. Ceramic knife blades are usually produced through the dry-pressing and firing of powdered zirconia using solid-state sintering . The blades typically ... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ceramic_knife |
