  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-007421",
  "term": "Mixed ceramic",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "A ceramic in which two or more phases, each an oxide, nitride or carbide of a metal, form co-continuous, interpenetrating networks. Every phase is connected throughout the solid, so the structure is a mutual network rather than one phase dispersed in another. It differs from a ceramic matrix composite, in which discrete fibres, whiskers or particles sit inside a continuous ceramic matrix.",
