THE COLORADO CENTER FOR ADVANCED CERAMICS
The Colorado Center for Advanced Ceramics (CCAC) at Colorado School of Mines is a focal point for exciting technological developments in advanced ceramics. The Center actively pursues ceramics research and education and serves as a national resource of expertise and facilities that industry can draw on to make decisions on the synthesis, processing, and performance of advanced ceramics and composites. The Center educates materials scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary skills necessary to design and manufacture the ceramic components and composites of the future.
