20th International Conference on Composite Materials
Introduction
Welcome to Copenhagen, Denmark and the 20th International Conference on Composite Materials (ICCM20).
The conference is the 20th in the series of conferences of the International Committee on Composite Materials (ICCM). The series of ICCM conferences have gone from success to success since the first two conferences, both termed ICCM1 were held in 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland and Boston, USA. We are very proud and delighted to be organising the conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2015. It is the first time that an ICCM conference has been organised in Scandinavia.
The scientific programme of the ICCM20 contains about 1450 presentations with full papers available in the conference proceedings, with the authors coming from 66 countries representing all three ICCM world re-gions, and with approximately 1800 registered participants. Thus, the ICCM20 is a truly international scientific event and the largest international conference in the field of composite materials to this date.
We are looking forward to a technically excellent conference, and we are very grateful to the many organisers of the conference “Themes” and “Tracks” for helping us put the programme together. Their names are listed in the International Organising Committee that is printed in this book. More importantly, we are grateful to the authors for their efforts in producing their outstanding contributions to the programme. The full programme is printed in this book including very brief abstracts, but you may also want to use the online version of the pro-gramme and the proceedings containing the full papers www.ICCM20.org or the version we have for smart-phones and tablets that is accessible through the special ICCM20 App. Please download the ICCM20 app at ITunes or Google Play.
We hope that you will enjoy the conference and its many events, all of which are described in this book, and we also hope that you will enjoy your stay in Copenhagen. Conference updates on events and practical mat-ters will be issued throughout the conference via TV screens placed throughout the conference venue (Bella Center) and through the conference App. If you require any assistance during the conference please do not hesitate to contact the ICCM20 secretariat or us for help.
A special thanks to MCI Copenhagen and the Scandinavian Organising and Scientific Committee, without whom the conference would not have been possible.
