A new process was developed for creation of ceramic whiskers, using             an NSF Expedited Award for Novel Research.  The process can form both           silicon carbide and silicon nitride whiskers.  These whiskers can be            incorporated into other materials and result in large increases in              the strength and toughness of that material, thus leading to the                ability to produce better manufactured products.  This award is to              allow research to develop the procedure further to make it one that             can be adopted by industry.  Attempts will be made to use the                   resulting composite materials in several applications, e.g., metal              cutting tools, and to demonstrate their use in industry.
