Electroceramics are a class of ceramic materials used primarily for their electrical properties.

thumb|Decahedral PtFe1.2 nanoparticle.In crystallography, a disclination is a line defect in which there is compensation of an angular gap. They were first discussed by Vito Volterra in 1907, who provided an analysis of the elastic strains of a wedge disclination. By analogy to dislocations in crystals, the term, disinclination, was first used by Charles Frank and since then has been modified to its current usage, disclination. As pointed out by John D. Eshelby, there is an intricate connection between disclinations and dislocations, with dislocation motion moving the position of a disclinatio

In materials science, friability ( ), the condition of being friable, describes the tendency of a solid substance to break into smaller pieces under stress or contact, especially by rubbing. The opposite of friable is indurate.

Right: Example stress-strain hysteresis for a ferroelastic crystal. Ferroelasticity is a phenomenon in which a material may exhibit a spontaneous strain, and is the mechanical equivalent of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism in the field of ferroics. A ferroelastic crystal has two or more stable orientational states in the absence of mechanical stress or electric field, i.e. remanent states, and can be reproducibly switched
