37th Risø International Symposium on Materials Science: "Understanding performance of composite materials – mechanisms controlling properties"

The theme of the coming 37th Risø International symposium is the scientific basis for understanding the performance of composite materials.

The symposium will cover studies on the underlying mechanisms that control the properties of composites leading to better and more reliable model predictions. Such studies will be carried out on the range of currently studied fibre composite systems, e.g. polymer matrix composites, metal matrix composites, biocomposites, nanocomposites, hybrid composites, and involving the typical elements of materials development: processing, characterization, testing and modelling.

Among the specific topics to be addressed are:

• Fibres and matrices
• Interfaces and interphases 
• Composite microstructure
• Composite micromechanics 
• Composite properties and performance

The 37th Risø International Symposium will be held 5 - 8 September 2016 at The Risø Campus of the Technical University of Denmark.

Important dates:

• Deadline for submission of abstracts: 1 March 2016 
• Deadline for paper submission: 1 May 2016
• Deadline for registration: 1 July 2016
