Fracture processes are then examined as they occur in some modern technologies , such as advanced ceramics , coatings , composites , and integrated circuits . Alice Sullivan creates contemporary figurative sculpture in ceramics . No examples of wooden seats have yet been recovered from excavated archaeological contexts in the Amazon basin , but occasional small modelled ceramic seats or headrests have turned up in museum collections . At Site 205 the unusual nature of the ceramic assemblage indicates that sherds , rather than pots , were transported to the site for use in resource processing activities . The key industries are banking , wearing apparel , electronics , and ceramics . The Department of Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania conducts an extensive program of undergraduate education , graduate education and research aimed at understanding the physical origins of the behavior of ceramics , metals and alloys , polymers , and electronic , magnetic , superconducting , and thin-film materials . Handbuilding Techniques : Creating ceramics pieces out of clay without the use of a ceramics wheel , students will learn techniques for texturizing and forming clay that go beyond basic skills . The goal of the program is to develop the non-destructive evaluation tools that industry needs for the intelligent processing of ceramic powders and slurries . My personal area of art work is sculptural in nature , working with ceramic materials . As the first technology to create strong , large-area metallic joints between ceramic and metal , NanoFoil may be used in the near future to attach ceramic armor tiles to U.S. Army tanks and trucks .
