The efficacy and desirability of fractal methods in studying the surface structure of ceramic materials are investigated. It is established that the fractal formalism can be used to study the evolution of the surface morphology and multifractal parameters make it possible to judge the uniformity of the surface structure and the conditions of its formation.
