The 1st International Conference on Composites: Characterization, Fabrication and Application (CCFA-1) is aimed to bring together both engineers and researchers of the field to review and discuss the recent practical and theoretical methods/ approaches to address composite characteristics and manufacturing processes. The conference focuses on the state-of-the-art in automotive, aerospace, piping, marine and civil structures, bio-composites, micro- and nano-composites. The journal of Applied Composite Materials will publish a selection of peer-reviewed full length papers from the Conference.
