  1. Ceramic and Composite Materials Center (CCMC) An NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center • Rutgers University: Center for Ceramic Research • University of New Mexico: Center for Micro-Engineered Materials • Pennsylvania State University: Particulate Materials Center Richard A. Haber, Ph.D. Executive Director, CCMC Rutgers University Piscataway, NJ

  2. Annual Cooperative Research Budget > $1.5 Million NSF’s 4th Oldest IUCRC – 21 years old Rutgers – Penn State – Univ. New Mexico provide complementary expertise emphasizing synthesis, processing and materials design Chemical Synthesis Molecular Level Nanoscale Conventional powder scale Ceramic Processing Powder Processing Consolidation Microstructure Design Thermal Processing and Densification Materials Design and Modeling Particle Technology Synthesis and Processing Colloidal Chemistry Ceramic and Composite Materials Center, CCMCPrecompetitive Research Program Introduction

  3. CCMC Research ProgramFive Program Thrust Areas • Catalysts and Porous Materials • Powder Synthesis and Processing • Ceramic Armor/Structural Ceramics • Materials for Energy Conversion • Nanomaterial Particulate Synthesis and Processing

  4. In 2000, a separate Center was formed at Rutgers entitled: “High Fidelity Design and Processing of Advanced Armor Ceramics: A U.S. Army Research Laboratory Material Center of Excellence” – providing 6 funded projects A component of this ARL funded program was to implement technology transfer to industries involved in Ceramic Armor In January 2001 a 1 day Workshop was held at Rutgers, ½ day Technical Session with Industry and ½ day on needs of Industry. (30+ Companies were invited, 21 Companies attended) The Spring IUCRC IAB was approached to discuss the formation of a Ceramic Armor Subthrust. Approval was provided and RFP to faculty was announced. Genesis of the Ceramic Armor Subgroup

  5. 30 proposals were submitted from Faculty. At the Fall 2001 IUCRC IAB meeting a separate One Day Subgroup Meeting was held, with current and prospective members invited. The 30 proposals were prioritized and regrouped into a final 5 projects. The IAB approved the funding of these projects based upon interest of existing members and interest of potential members. Projects were initiated in 2002. 12 new members have joined the Center specifically for the Armor Subgroup. Funding has grown to allow for 7 projects 1 Day Armor Subgroup meetings are held preceeding Spring and Fall IAB meetings 8 prospective members are being recruited by the Center Genesis of the Ceramic Armor Subgroup (cont.)
