For vendor specific material properties I can suggest the following two sites.

http://www.cercom.com

http://www.ceradyne.com

Both companies are heavily involved in the ceramic armor business and are producing hot pressed materials to address the market needs for equipment and personal protection.

Note that with ceramics, properties like toughness are highly contingent on microstructure produced by the manufacturer.
