Definition advantage polycrystalline materials are solids that are comprised of a collection of crystallites grains separated from one another by areas of relative disorder known as grain boundaries.
Optical properties fine ceramics are sintered materials consisting of microscopic crystal particles separated by boundary elements.
This chapter provides an overview on essential principle of optical properties of ceramics which involves the phenomena in physics of the interaction between light and materials.
Fine ceramics can be made translucent by minimizing pores and boundary elements after sintering and by increasing crystal size in order to reduce boundary interfaces.
Mechanical properties properties depend both on temperature and degree of crystallinity.
The assemblage of grains of various shapes and sizes together with the potential presence of porosity and secondary phases constitute the ceramic microstructure.
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the superior optical and mechanical properties of a new class of submicron grain sized alumina ceramics relative to the current state of the art dental.
