Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Porcelain is a ceramic material made by heating raw materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200&_160;°C (2,192&_160;°F) and 1,400&_160;°C (2,552&_160;°F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain arise mainly from the formation of glass and the mineral mullite within the fired body at these high temperatures. Porcelain is sometimes referred to as china. This is because until the 17th century, China was the sole producer of porcelain.

Porcelain derives its present name from its resemblance to the cowrie shell, which in old Italian porcellana, from feminine of porcellano, of a young sow (from the shell's resemblance to a pig's back), from porcella, young sow, diminutive of porca, sow, from Latin, feminine of porcus, pig, and from the Greek p?????, (porcos).[1] Properties associated with porcelain include low permeability and elasticity; considerable strength, hardness, glassiness, brittleness, whiteness, translucence, and resonance; and a high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock.

For the purposes of trade, the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities defines porcelain as being "completely vitrified, hard, impermeable (even before glazing), white or artificially coloured, translucent (except when of considerable thickness) and resonant." However, the term porcelain lacks a universal definition and has "been applied in a very unsystematic fashion to substances of diverse kinds which have only certain surface-qualities in common" (Burton 1906).

Porcelain is used to make table, kitchen, sanitary, and decorative wares; objects of fine art; and tiles. Its high resistance to the passage of electricity makes porcelain an excellent insulator. Dental porcelain is used to make false teeth, caps and crowns.

October 02, 2008

Selling things on eBay seemed like a great way to liquidate that stuff quickly. It certainly beat sitting outside all day with it at... (read more)

25. Don't make these mistakes with your smile part 2
September 29, 2008

Mistake 5 Thinking that all veneers are the same An alternative to porcelain veneers are composite veneers, these are built directly on to your tooth by the dentist. This means that after the planning stage, treatment can often be completed in a single visit. The material also does not require so much tooth removal as it can be used in very thin sections. Additionally if the veneer does eventually chip or your gums recede it is easy to repair it with more of the same material. If a traditional veneer breaks it has to be re made entirely which is a costly process. Composite veneers requir... (read more)
