Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity is used to measure how strongly a material can oppose or resist the flow of electric current. Materials are categorized as having either high or low volume resistivity.Materials such as Precision Ceramics Ultra-pure Alumina have the highest resistivity values at 1 x 1016 ohm-cm.
Materials Ranked by Volume Resistivity
Precision Ceramics CeramAlox Ultra Pure has highest volume resistivity at 1 x 1016 ohm-cm with low dielectric loss. Macor has similar electrical performance to Alumina at room temperature. Higher purity Alumina materials will maintain their electrical properties at elevated temperatures.

Density
Density is the mass of a material per unit volume. The unit of measurement can be expressed in different ways and is referred us as g/cm3 but another measurement value is kg/m3.
Thermal conductivity
Thermal conductivity measures how easily heat is transmitted through amaterial. There is a growing specialist market for advanced ceramics usein applications with high thermal conductivity requirements.
Flexural strength
Flexural strength, also known as bending strength, modulus of rupture ortransverse rupture strength, is defined as the maximum stress in amaterial just before it yields in a bending test
