FTIR is primarily used for analyzing the chemical composition and functional groups present in a material, rather than its microstructure.

The Vickers hardness test is commonly used to measure the resistance of a material to permanent deformation caused by mechanical indentation.

Tensile strength is typically measured using a tensile test, while flexural strength tests are used to determine the material's resistance to bending forces.

Grain size distribution plays a crucial role in determining various properties of a ceramic material, including its strength, toughness, thermal conductivity, electrical resistivity, and optical properties.

Grain size primarily influences the mechanical properties of a ceramic material, while porosity, phase composition, and impurities can significantly affect its dielectric properties.

Thermal expansion tests are conducted to determine the material's response to changes in temperature, specifically its tendency to expand or contract.

XRF is a non-destructive technique widely used for elemental analysis and determining the chemical composition of various materials, including ceramics.

Porosity tests are conducted to determine the amount of pores or voids present in a ceramic material, which can influence its properties such as water absorption and permeability.

Poisson's ratio is typically measured using a tensile test, while compressive strength tests are used to determine the material's resistance to compressive forces.

Phase composition plays a crucial role in determining various properties of a ceramic material, including its microstructure, chemical reactivity, stability, and electrical and magnetic properties.

Impurities can affect the mechanical strength of a ceramic material, while grain size, porosity, and phase composition are primary factors that directly influence its strength.

Thermal conductivity tests are conducted to determine the material's ability to transfer heat through its structure.

AFM is a non-destructive technique widely used for imaging and analyzing the surface topography of materials at the nanoscale.

Elastic modulus is a crucial property that represents the material's resistance to deformation, stiffness, flexibility, and ability to store elastic energy.

Grain size primarily influences the mechanical properties of a ceramic material, while porosity, phase composition, and impurities can significantly affect its electrical resistivity.
