1. Raw materials for ceramics. 2. Plastic materials. Clays, kaolin, structure of clay minerals, deposits in the Czech Republic, types of clays and kaolin. 3. Methods of studying clay, chemical analysis, differential thermal analysis, thermal gravimetric analysis, dilatometry. 4. Basic characteristics of clays - shrinkage on drying, burning, total absorptivity, apparent porosity, bulk density, sorption of methylene blue, grain pattern. 5. Non-plastic materials. Sharpening materials - granulometry, maximal density, deposits, choice of softening materials. 6.
