Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for the Ceramic, Composite and Optical Materials Center 0934300 Clemson University; Dennis Smith 0934258 Rutgers University; Richard Haber The Center for the Ceramic, Composite and Optical Materials Center (CCOMC) will focus on providing a broader range of relevant technologies critical to materials-based companies. Clemson University and Rutgers University are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with Clemson University as the lead institution. The Center for Ceramic Research (CRC) at Rutgers University, a past member of an ending NSF I/UCRC for Ceramic and Composite Materials Center, proposes to join with the Center for Optical Material Science and Engineering Technologies (COMSET) at Clemson University to form the proposed new Center (CCOMC) with new technological thrusts. COMSET has developed a strong industrial base, with three spin-off companies that, combined with Rutgers University, would provide a new and unique research program. The proposed Center (CCOMC) will focus on five thrust areas including ceramic materials and processing, nanoparticulates and processes, opaque and transparent armor ceramics, optical material synthesis and processing, and materials for energy conversion. The proposed research program across the five thrust areas will be carried out by an interdisciplinary group of faculty and across different academic disciplines. The PIs are well-qualified and have adequate resources to conduct the proposed research. Both institutions in this Center plan to use the NSF planning grant fund to hold a meeting with prospective industrial partners to establish the proposed Center's organizational framework, and to establish research projects of greatest relevance. The proposed center (CCOMC) has the potential to improve sustainability and profitability of US manufacturing by developing new technologies in the ceramic, optic and composite material field. CCOMC has plans in place for involving under-represented groups, to recruit highly qualified faculty and graduate students, and to motivate undergraduate students through unique research experiences and fellowships. Results will be disseminated through semi-annual meetings, publications, and a website for information, results and accomplishments. CCOMC will continue to integrate research and education; and by providing hands-on experience to students, the Center will attempt to motivate students to go beyond common approaches towards learning by hands-on experiences in state-of-the-art facilities focusing on today's relevant materials issues.

为陶瓷、复合材料和光学材料中心的I/UCRC计划拨款0934300克莱姆森大学、丹尼斯·史密斯0934258罗格斯大学和理查德·哈伯陶瓷、复合材料和光学材料中心(CCOMC)将专注于提供对材料公司至关重要的更广泛的相关技术。克莱姆森大学和罗格斯大学正在合作建立拟议的中心，克莱姆森大学是牵头机构。罗格斯大学陶瓷研究中心(CRC)曾是NSF I/UCRC陶瓷和复合材料中心的成员，该中心建议与克莱姆森大学光学材料科学与工程技术中心(COMSET)合作，建立具有新技术推动力的拟议新中心(CCOMC)。COMSET已经发展了强大的工业基础，拥有三家剥离出来的公司，与罗格斯大学相结合，将提供一个新的和独特的研究计划。拟议的中心(CCOMC)将专注于五个主要领域，包括陶瓷材料和加工、纳米颗粒和加工、不透明和透明装甲陶瓷、光学材料合成和加工以及能源转换材料。拟议的五个主要领域的研究计划将由一个跨学科的教员小组进行，并跨越不同的学术学科。私人机构督导具备良好资历，并有足够资源进行拟议的研究。该中心的两个机构计划使用NSF规划拨款基金与潜在的产业合作伙伴举行会议，以建立拟议的中心的组织框架，并建立最具相关性的研究项目。拟议的中心(CCOMC)有可能通过开发陶瓷、光学和复合材料领域的新技术来提高美国制造业的可持续性和盈利能力。CCOMC已经制定了计划，让代表不足的群体参与进来，招聘高素质的教师和研究生，并通过独特的研究经验和奖学金来激励本科生。结果将通过半年度会议、出版物和信息、结果和成就网站传播。CCOMC将继续将研究与教育相结合；通过向学生提供实践经验，该中心将试图激励学生超越常规方法，在最先进的设施中通过实践经验学习，重点关注当今的相关材料问题。
