In fact properties of ceramics and glass can be tailored to specific applications by modifying composition including creating composite materials with metals and polymers and by changing processing parameters.
Structure properties processing and applications of ceramics.
The application of ceramics has infiltrated almost all fields in the last 20 years because of their advantages over metals due to their strong ionic or covalent bonding.
But it is just this bonding nature of ceramics that directly results in their inherent brittleness and difficulty in machining.

The glass partially crystallises and the glass ceramic develops a structure comprising an amorphous glassy phase and at least one embedded crystalline phase 1.

Properties of glass ceramics glass ceramics can range from highly crystalline to containing a more substantial glassy phase.
These are typical properties.
