Abstract
This chapter introduces the emerging field of high entropy ceramics, which are characterized by their complex and disordered structures resulting from the amalgamation of multiple elements in nearly equal amounts. Unlike traditional ceramics composed of one or a few elements, high entropy ceramics exhibit exceptional properties such as high strength, hardness, and thermal stability. The chapter delves into high-entropy ceramics' synthesis, properties, and potential applications, highlighting their versatility in various fields. Additionally, the chapter outlines the fabrication techniques involved in producing high-entropy ceramics, including material selection, powder preparation, powder compaction, and sintering.
