American Composites Manufacturers Association

Welcome to the Composites Research Journal, an official publication of the American Composites Manufacturers Association. More than a decade ago, the ACMA became the repository for technical presentations delivered at annual conference gatherings. After the need to archive this information became evident, the need to disseminate it as well as offer opportunities to industry and academic professionals to publish also became readily apparent. Thus, the inaugural issue of the electronic, quarterly, peer reviewed Composites Research Journal launched in January of 2007.

The CRJ allows those interested in composites technology to stay up-to-date on innovations in the industry and advancements in academic research. Since there is a broad array of materials, processes, products and markets in the industry, the primary goal of the CRJ is to showcase a diversity of subject matter within the composites industry as well as emphasize the practical application and commercial viability of that research.

The editorial review board and the editorial staff welcome your input and participation. The mission of propagating composites knowledge is a worthwhile endeavor for academic and industry researchers. And for those in the industry, the movement of technology from research to practical applications generates innovative new products that push the industry forward.
