You have to be specific is this non-crystalline or crystalline ceramics? Microstructure is existing only for crystalline ceramics, but the structural properties exist for both and they are widely different.

Hi Meenu Rani

In the context of ceramics, both structural and microstructural properties play crucial roles in determining the material's mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical properties. Here's a breakdown of what these terms mean and their differences:

Differences between Structural and Microstructural Properties:

Structural Properties are bulk properties i.e. Mechanical, Electrical,Thermal,Chemical Properties respectively. While micro-structural properties are slip,twinning,dislocation,fracture etc. SEM-EBSD techniques are required to ascertain Micro-scopic properties, While Bulk properties by tensile tests,impact testing,nano0indentation and other whichnaffect macro-scopic properties as a material as a whole.
