Ceramic nanoparticle

Ceramic nanoparticle is a type of nanoparticle that is contained of ceramics, which are classified as inorganic, heat-resistant, nonmetallic solids that can be made of both metallic and nonmetallic compounds.[1]

Properties

There are many properties of ceramic nanoparticles. Viz

  • Ferroelectric - these are dielectric materials that polarize in more than one direction that is negative and positive sides can be flipped via an electric field.
  • Piezoelectric - these are materials that carry an electrical charge under mechanical stress.
  • Dielectric - these
    • are electric insulators that can be polarized by an electric field to shorten the distance of electron transfer in an electric current.
