Papers concerning processing, properties, design, application and obsolescence/sustainment of advanced materials are being solicited for presentation at the 40th Annual Conference on Composites, Materials and Structures. The conference, which will be held January 25-28, 2016, at the Radisson Resort at the Port in Cocoa Beach/Cape Canaveral, Fla., is sponsored by the United States Advanced Ceramics Association (USACA). The conference provides a forum for export-controlled information relating to advanced materials, including ceramic, metal, and carbon matrix composites and their constituents.

Presentations relating to ongoing technology and future solutions for advanced materials utilization in the aerospace, transportation, chemical process, power, medical and industrial sectors are encouraged. Authors are requested to limit their presentations to the most recent technical data and results. Sales presentations will not be accepted. A space will be provided upon request for limited display of new products and/or information.

 Abstracts of 100 words or less must be received by the appropriate Session Chair via e-mail, letter or fax by Friday, October 16, 2015.
