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0934300 Clemson University的I/UCRC计划赠款；丹尼斯·史密斯（Dennis Smith）0934258罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）；理查德·哈伯（Richard Haber）是陶瓷，复合材料和光学材料中心（CCOMC）的重点，将着重于提供对基于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与克莱姆森大学合作建立拟议中心。罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）的陶瓷研究中心（CRC）是NSF I/UCRC的陶瓷和复合材料中心的过去成员，建议与克莱姆森大学（Clemson University）的光学材料科学和工程技术中心（COMSET）一起组建新技术刺激性的新技术。 Comset开发了一个强大的工业基础，三家衍生公司将与罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）相结合，将提供一项新的独特研究计划。拟议的中心（CCOMC）将重点关注五个推力区域，包括陶瓷材料和加工，纳米关节和过程，不透明和透明的装甲陶瓷，光学材料合成和加工以及能量转换材料。跨五个推力领域的拟议研究计划将由跨学科的教职员工以及不同学科的研究。 PI是合格的，并拥有足够的资源来进行拟议的研究。该中心的两个机构都计划使用NSF计划赠款基金与潜在的工业合作伙伴举行会议，以建立拟议中心的组织框架，并建立最相关的研究项目。拟议的中心（CCOMC）有可能通过在陶瓷，光学和复合材料领域开发新技术来提高美国制造业的可持续性和盈利能力。 CCOMC已制定计划，计划参与代表性不足的团体，招募高素质的教职员工和研究生，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，出版物和网站传播，以获取信息，结果和成就。 CCOMC将继续整合研究和教育；通过为学生提供动手经验，该中心将试图激励学生超越通用的方法，通过在最先进的设施中的动手体验来学习，重点是当今相关的材料问题。
