  Composite Materials  


Composite materials have become mainstays of modern industry including aerospace, automotive, civil, naval, energy infrastructure, and beyond. Advancements in constituent materials, functionality, manufacturing, and end-of-life sustainability have pushed these materials to the forefront of existing platforms and emerging technology adoption. This symposium focuses on recent developments for composite materials in a broad range of product areas. Submit an abstract and join researchers from around the world as we highlight applications-focused research and material/manufacturing innovations.

Submit your Abstract - due October 24

Please first review the information for authors — abstract submission guidelines.
