Material and Process engineering is the technology by which materials are developed or selected and manufacturing processes chosen which will convert those materials into products which meet the design, performance, producibility, quality, and cost effective criteria required. Fields of research and application include, but are not limited to:

• Advanced matrix resin development,

• Advanced reinforcement fiber development,

• Blast mitigation and homeland security,

• Ceramics,

• Carbon-carbon and metal matrix composites,

• Composite materials in ground transportation and advanced marine architecture,

• Composite materials in oil exploitation and wind energy development,

• Composite materials in recreational products Composite materials in infrastructure development, design and analysis of composite structures,

• Fire properties of composite materials

• Metal and composite adhesive bonding

• Nano materials
  Platform design-manned and unmanned air vehicles,
  Technical information exchange under ITAR guidelines

Co-sponsored Meetings

Boston SAMPE and ASM Boston co-sponsor many monthly meetings. We cross-linked our local web sites ito increase visibility for both chapters. We will increase our collaboration with future joint meetings.  Visit ASM International Boston Chapter's website at www.asmboston.org. Visit www.IMAPSNE.org; an organization dedicated to solving materials problems in electronics packaging.

Boston SAMPE and AIAA New England maintain close links. AIAA weblinks and meetings are posted on our links page.
