Abstract
Organized by the Institute of Materials, this latest MMC conference was subtitled “Design and Innovation” and attracted delegates from research bodies, universities and industry. It enabled exchanges of information on these materials to be made and provided a view of the latest work being undertaken, as well as prospects for the future. The problems associated with the production of MMCs, as well as their potential, were explored, with a range of applications envisaged. As far as their possible use in aerospace is concerned, this is currently limited in scope, but developments and extensive testing will enable the necessary qualification criteria to be established and lead to a variety of uses.
