Ceramics have unusually high heat capacity, yeah. They are very good for siphoning heat from semiconductors.

Ceramics make the best material for non-reactive armors of military vehicles.

Actually, the effectiveness of "heat-siphoning" is determined by thermal conductivity, not heat capacity.

darkjedi:
Mm. I learned something new today.

I think he's talking about the same thing but used the wrong term

darkjedi:
Semantic confusion aside, when I hear 'ceramic', the thing that comes to my mind is 'insulator' not a 'conductor'. Maybe some specialized ceramic fibers (putting random names here) do really offer good thermal conductivity, but whether it's a genuine contributor of its heat dissipating characteristic, I dunno. I know its heat capacity clearly is.
