8^th International Conference on Textile Composites TEXCOMP-8 16 – 18 October, 2006 It is my pleasure to invite you to participate in the 8^th International Conference on Textile Composites (TEXCOMP-8), to be held in Nottingham, UK from 16^th to 18^th October 2006. The goal of TEXCOMP is to promote knowledge in the field of textile composites throughout the world. By bringing together scientists and engineers active in a variety of disciplines, the conference provides a dedicated forum for discussions and reports on recent advances in textiles and their composites. This is the eighth conference in this series, which started in 1992 in Leuven, Belgium, chaired by Professor Ignaas Verpoest. The conference has rotated between Europe, Asia and North America in the intervening years. TEXCOMP has an international audience, attracting world leading researchers in composite materials. The scope of the conference includes: · Mechanical design and modelling · Advanced manufacturing processes · Net-shape 3D textile preforms · Nano-fibres and composites · Elastic and failure behaviour · Process simulation and control · Textile modelling · Industrial applications and case studies In addition to selected papers submitted in response to this call (57 in total), the conference will include three keynote presentations from internationally leading figures. A poster session and competition will also be held. The full programme is available here. Professor Andrew Long Chairman, TexComp-8 Supported by:
