Functional ceramic shaped articles resistant nto oxidation and corrosion can be produced with high ndimensional accuracy by mixing (i) particles (1) and/or nfibers of at least one functional inorganic material nselected from piezoelectric materials such as PbTiO₃ nand PbZrO₃, dielectric materials such as TiO₂ and nMgTiO₃, magnetic materials such as Fe, Co, and Ni, heat nconductive materials such as diamond and CBN, ncatalytically active materials such as γ-Al₂O₃ and nzeolites, electron emissive materials such as W and Th-W, nsensor materials such as NiO and FeO, and biological nmaterials such as Al₂O₃ and apatite with (ii) particles nof at least one of metals of groups III, IV, V, VI, and nVIII of the periodic table, followed by shaping and nreaction-sintering those mixtures. |
