Corporate Technical Achievement Award
This award was initiated in 1986 to recognize outstanding technical achievements by ACerS Corporate Members in the field of ceramics. These achievements must show significant technical merit and represent a gain to society through commercialization of the technology. Through this award, the Society recognizes Corporate Members who have taken a technology and successfully developed it into a viable commercial product. It is not necessary for the technical and commercial development to be accomplished by one company, and joint nominations can be submitted. The awards are formally presented to designated corporate representatives at the Annual Meeting banquet. Details of the technology and product commercialization are presented at a special technical sessionm and a full-page feature is included in the Bulletin. Nomination Guideline
