Some problems of the development of technology and science of ceramics and refractories

Problems arising in designing and organizing ceramics production, including a new generation of materials, are formulated and differentiated. Some aspects of the properties of the materials are described using deterministic, statistical, and probabilistic models. The latter two models are shown to be expedient and promising. It is shown that the effect of the manufacturing process should be taken into account when evaluating the operating properties of the products.
