OrangeMan,

I asked the original poster the same question.
I'll let you know, if he responds.

In the absract below, they mention alumina ceramics.
That is the only link to CETEK that I can imagine.

It was also posted on
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nanotech/messages/6488

I would not be surprised if a poster used the researcher's name for his alias.

But the research is accurate and the quesition is what if any is the connection.

The abstract.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes as a unique agent to fabricate nanostructure-controlled functionally graded alumina ceramics

Mehdi Estili, Kenta Takagi, Akira Kawasaki


Received 12 March 2008; received in revised form 18 May 2008; accepted 25 May 2008.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been employed for the first time to fabricate bulk, layered, nanostructure-controlled functionally graded (FG) alumina ceramics using a recently established powder technology. Gradual and homogeneous incorporation of the CNTs within the alumina ceramic shows promise to effectively cause in-depth gradients in microstructure, grain size and hardness. The FG concept offers the potential to successfully bridge conventional ceramics to their nanocomposites containing a high concentration of CNTs.
