ceramic

(thing) by Phase Shifter (3.7 y) (print) ? (I like it!) Thu Jul 26 2001 at 8:29:00

Defined in chemistry texts as a solid which is neither a metal nor a polymer.
Sound vague? There's a reason. It's a broad class of materials including everything from clay to graphite to sapphire.

Generally, these tend to be hard, brittle materials with high melting points.
