The Seventeenth Annual International Conference on
COMPOSITES/NANO ENGINEERING (ICCE - 17)
ICCE-17 July 26-31, 2009 in Hawaii, USA

Message from ICCE Chairman
The ICCE conference is unique in that while it is an engineering conference, it has attracted numerous chemists, physicists and scientists from diverse fields in our efforts to promote interdisciplinary research on composites. Of particular concern is the challenge for materials engineers to understand the wide diversity of length scales ranging from nano to micro to macro and full scale and to question the validity of the theories or models which are known to be valid only in certain length scales. The ICCE is among the first composite materials conferences which take a leading vital role to bridge the gap between nano-chemistry and nano-engineering, and attracted hundreds of papers in this existing relatively new field of nano-composites engineering.
The ICCE conference will provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas in virtually all areas composite materials research. The goals of the ICCE conference are:
1. To BRIDGE THE GAP between Materials Science, Mechanics and manufacturing of Composite Materials;
2. To encourage INTERDISCIPLINARY research bridging the gap between aerospace technology, bio-materials, chemistry, electronics, fluid mechanics, infrastructures, magnetic materials, nanotechnology, physics, powder metallurgy, sensors/actuators, among others and
3. to encourage LEVERAGING of composite materials research resources through joint research between participants and writing joint research proposals.
