Ceramic rollers save on energy and materials
Alumina-silicate material has excellent thermal properties which means flatness is maintained in ceramic thin tile kilns, resulting in a high-quality finish.
Morgan Advanced Ceramics specialises in ceramic components and assemblies for applications in the medical, telecommunications, semiconductor and aerospace markets.
The cutting-edge technologies involved in developing application-specific ceramics involve the company in ongoing materials research and product development programmes.
As a result, it requires people with a passion for pioneering new ideas and making things happen.
Morgan Advanced Ceramics therefore initiated the University Fellowship Award for selected universities running appropriate undergraduate courses.
In order to ensure that students get maximum benefit from the scheme Morgan Advanced Ceramics allows the category under which the award is offered to vary from university to university.
Each department decides on the criteria in conjunction with Morgan Advanced Ceramics and then identifies students to put forward for the award.
Candidates can therefore be nominated on the grounds of anything from outstanding academic achievement to original research.
Participating universities currently include Oxford, Cambridge, Sheffield, Manchester and Imperial College, London.
The Morgan Advanced Ceramics University Fellowship Award was introduced in July 2002.
