The Ceramic, Composite and Optical Materials Center (CCOMC) is an NSF Phase II, I/UCRC which is managed by Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey (Rutgers) and Clemson University (Clemson). The Center is integrated between the two university partners and is directed by an Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) comprised of 21 multinational member companies and national laboratories. The mission of the CCOMC is to develop new, interdisciplinary technologies to increase the level of ceramic, polymer and optical material science, technology and engineering and to transfer these technologies to its industrial members to foster the development of competitive, reproducible ceramic, polymer fiber and composites made of them for advanced, high performance systems. The continuation proposal aims to broaden the scope of the Center to new areas that are technologically complementary and will lead towards the Center?s long terms self-sufficiency. The programs within the Center focus on the creation of new materials, new synthesis and processing methods, process based models, measurements and characterization methods for complex, integrated systems and devices. CCOMC began with program thrusts in ceramic and polymeric materials and processing, nanoparticulates and processes, opaque armor ceramics, optical material synthesis and processing and materials for energy conversion. As we move forward into the next five years, we will expand the scope of our research to include new research thrust areas in ceramic matrix composites and superhard, high temperature material. In addition we will explore green/ecofriendly processing as potential thrusts. It is critical to long-term self-sufficiency that we not only attract a broader base of members, but also be successful in securing Federal funding to strengthens new and existing thrusts to improve the visibility of the Center within both universities and abroad.

陶瓷、复合材料和光学材料中心(CCOMC)是由罗格斯大学、新泽西州立大学(罗格斯大学)和克莱姆森大学(克莱姆森大学)管理的NSF二期I/UCRC。该中心整合在两个大学伙伴之间，由工业咨询委员会(IAB)领导，该委员会由21家多国成员公司和国家实验室组成。CCOMC的使命是开发新的跨学科技术，以提高陶瓷、聚合物和光学材料科学、技术和工程的水平，并将这些技术转让给其行业成员，以促进用于先进、高性能系统的具有竞争力的、可再生的陶瓷、聚合物纤维和复合材料的开发。延续建议旨在将中心的范围扩大到在技术上相互补充并将导致中心长期自给自足的新领域--S。该中心内的项目侧重于创造新材料、新的合成和加工方法、基于工艺的模型、复杂、集成系统和设备的测量和表征方法。CCOMC首先在陶瓷和聚合物材料及其加工、纳米颗粒和加工、不透明装甲陶瓷、光学材料合成和加工以及能源转换材料方面进行了项目推进。随着我们进入下一个五年，我们将扩大我们的研究范围，将陶瓷基复合材料和超硬高温材料的新研究重点领域包括在内。此外，我们将探索绿色/环保加工作为潜在的推动力。对于长期的自给自足来说，我们不仅要吸引更广泛的成员基础，而且要成功地获得联邦资金，以加强新的和现有的努力，以提高中心在大学内外的知名度。
