Your sponsorship funds are used by our organization in two primary ways.  On a monthly basis, sponsorship funds specifically support Boston SAMPE to create a technical forum where scientists, engineers and academicians can exchange ideas and promote their views on new materials and processing technology.   Our 2008 monthly meeting agenda includes presentations in areas including Nanotechnology, Rheology and Thermal Analysis of Adhesives, Polymer Matrix Composites and Transparent Ceramics for Solid State Lasers. We also host an annual Vendor Night, annual Student Presentation night, and joint meetings with other New England Chapter’s of organizations including ASM and ASC. The second primary application of sponsorship funds helps Boston SAMPE reward students concentrating in relevant aspects of materials and processes such as, plastics or composites engineering.
