Mission Statement

The mission of the CCMC is to develop new, interdisciplinary technologies to make the United States more competitive in ceramic and particulate science, technology and engineering and to transfer these technologies to its industrial members to foster the development of competitive, reproducible ceramic materials, for advanced, high performance systems.

The CCMC mission statement inherently recognizes the great oppurtunity afforded by the formation of a multi-university-industry cooperative research center that has a strong chemical synthesis component and an equally strong processing capability.
