I/UCRC for the Ceramic, Composite and Optical Materials Center 1034979 Clemson University; Dennis Smith 1034978 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 (CCR), 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 mission of the proposed Center (CCOMC) is to develop new innovations that enable and sustain United States competitiveness in ceramic, particulate, composite and optical material science, technology and engineering. Furthermore, the CCOMC will transfer these new innovations to its industrial members for competitive reproducible ceramic, particulate, composite and optical materials, for advanced, high performance commercial products. The proposed center's research projects are integrated into five thrust areas: powder synthesis and processing, nanoparticulates and processes, optical material synthesis and processing, materials for defense sciences, 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. 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 todays relevant materials issues.

I/UCRC为陶瓷，复合材料和光学材料中心1034979克莱姆森大学;丹尼斯史密斯1034978罗格斯大学;理查德哈伯陶瓷，复合材料和光学材料中心（CCOMC）的中心将专注于提供更广泛的相关技术关键的材料为基础的公司。克莱姆森大学和罗格斯大学正在合作建立拟议中的中心，克莱姆森大学作为牵头机构。罗格斯大学陶瓷研究中心（CRC）是NSF I/UCRC陶瓷和复合材料中心（CCR）的前成员，该中心提议与克莱姆森大学的光学材料科学与工程技术中心（COMSET）合作，以形成具有新技术推力的拟议新中心（CCOMC）。COMSET已经建立了强大的工业基础，有三个分拆公司，与罗格斯大学相结合，将提供一个新的和独特的研究计划。拟议中心（CCOMC）的使命是开发新的创新，使美国在陶瓷，颗粒，复合材料和光学材料科学，技术和工程方面保持竞争力。此外，CCOMC将把这些新的创新技术转让给其工业成员，用于生产具有竞争力的可再生陶瓷、颗粒、复合材料和光学材料，以及先进的高性能商业产品。拟建中心的研究项目分为五个重点领域：粉末合成和加工、纳米颗粒和工艺、光学材料合成和加工、国防科学材料和能量转换材料。在五个重点领域的拟议研究计划将由一个跨学科的教师小组和不同的学科进行。研究主任具备良好的资格，并有足够的资源进行拟议的研究。拟议中的中心（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计划让代表性不足的群体参与进来，招募高素质的教师和研究生，并通过独特的研究经验和奖学金激励本科生。将通过半年期会议、出版物和一个信息、成果和成就网站传播成果。CCOMC将继续整合研究和教育;通过向学生提供实践经验，该中心将试图激励学生超越常见的学习方法，通过在最先进的设施中实践经验，重点关注当今的相关材料问题。
