Claim 14:
15. The method of claim 1, wherein the method comprises: combining at least three metal salt precursors in an aqueous solvent resulting in the precipitation of the ceramic gel comprising a plurality of metal salts, wherein each of the at least three metal salt precursors independently comprises a metal or metalloid of group 1, 2, or 4-14 of the periodic table of elements and each of the at least three metal salt precursors is present in the aqueous solvent at a concentration between 0.1-10 M; and compressing the ceramic gel at a pressure between 1 MPa to 1,000 MPa thereby inducing stress-induced mineralization of the ceramic gel and formation of the ceramic material, wherein the ceramic gel exists in isolated form.
