The Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics is a multidisciplinary research centre focusing on materials science and engineering involving ceramic materials for applications such as aerospace, energy and tissue engineering. It is located withinImperial College London in theUnited Kingdom. The college'sDepartment of Materials is closely involved with the centre's research.[1]
The centre was founded to facilitate research between associated institutions and academics, and the UK's industrial structural ceramics community, with a stated goal to provide a "critical mass of UK expertise in the fundamental understanding of structural ceramics that is highly relevant to key areas of the economy including, energy generation, aerospace and defence, transport and healthcare". Funding initially came through theEngineering and Physical Sciences Research Council but it is now funded through an industrial consortium, including members such asRolls-Royce Holdings,Morgan Advanced Materials, andReaction Engines.[2]
The CASC's work draws from skills of multiple fields, including chemistry, physics, materials and earth sciences and business. It supports the dissemination of knowledge of ceramic materials through annual summer schools, industry days, workshops and lectures.[3]
