| This session seeks contributions that address new developments concerning the processing, structure, and properties of advanced composites. Theoretical, modeling, and/or experimental papers are solicited. Materials of interest include polymeric composites, environment-friendly composites, smart composites, biologically compatible composites, and nanocomposites. Novel applications and industrial case studies are encouraged. |
