Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics

A UK centre for structures ceramics research and teaching which is world-leading in this key area and is developing links with leading industrial and academic groups

CASC started in July 2008 with EPSRC funding (£5.5M) for a five-year programme. EPSRC funding ended in June 2013, and the Centre continues to thrive. The CASC has a large number of projects collaborating directly with industrial partners from the UK and abroad as well as research co-funded by goverment agencies. An Industrial consortium has been set up to build on CASC's early success, enable its sustainability and to develop long-term and fruitful relationships between CASC-associated academics and the industrial structural ceramics community.
