PREFACE
Advanced ceramics are specified as the new class of ceramic materials made up of high purity synthetic chemicals. In recent years these ceramics gained much research attention in various applications due to their excellent performance. These advanced ceramics are composed of oxides, carbides and nitrides. Ceramic composites which include both the combinations of oxides and non-oxides Ceramic materials are the different class of materials composed of non-metallic stable and inorganic materials. They are brittle, electrically insulated and thermally insulated materials prepared with combination of more than single element. The ceramic materials will have distinct properties due to their grain boundaries in the materials undergo misalignments with nearby grains and their variations in the structure and quality in the perfections and contributions along with shape and size and material internal stress which they are exposed. For the few decades’ people have observed the tremendous increase in the properties like ferroelectric, ferromagnetic, pyroelectric, dielectric and magnetoresistance, superconducting and gas sensing applications. These ceramic materials also became main materials for the advanced technologies like energy transformation storage and supply and also in the manufacturing, medical field technology and transportation, information technology etc. Hence, awareness and knowledge about ceramics and their derived nanomaterials with conceptual understanding are important for the advanced material community.
Advanced Ceramics and Applications in Science, Technology and Medicine explores the various advanced ceramic materials and their down to earth applications in distinct fields such as actuators, energy storage, environmental, 3D printing, electronics, biomedical and EMI shielding. This book provides an overview of the structural and fundamental properties, synthesis strategies and versatile applications of advanced ceramic materials and their composites. This book will be beneficial for students, research scholars, faculty members, R & D specialists working in the area of material science, solid-state science, chemical engineering, power sources and renewable energy storage fields and nanotechnologists.

Advanced Ceramics for Piezoelectric Actuators
N. Suresh Kumar1,R. Padma Suvarna1,*,K. Chandra Babu Naidu2,*,Khalid Mujasam Batoo3Abstract
Nowadays, researchers concentrated on the advancements of new types of precision actuators to satisfy the increasing demand for high precision positioning technology. Owing to fast response, high precision, and compact structure, the piezoelectric actuators attracted much attention. In the advancement of science and technology, the ceramics play a vital role. In this chapter, we mainly focussed on applications of piezoelectric actuators in different fields such as nano metrology, and industries. Even, the different advanced ceramics for piezoelectric actuators were discussed.
