Ceramic nanocomposites were found to show two to five times high fracture toughness and strength atroom temperature than those of monolithic materials. The hardness, strength and thermal shock fracture resistance were also strongly improved for these composites. The researching state of fabrication process, structure and mechanical proporties of nanocomposites were reviewed.
