About
The American Society for Composites (ASC) is a professional engineering society dedicated to advancing the science and technology of composite materials and structures. For over 30 years, ASC has served as the premier focal point for technical exchange among professionals in academia, industry, national laboratories, and federal agencies who share interests in composite materials research and applications. The society operates as an all-volunteer organization that facilitates communication and networking among researchers and practitioners in the composites field. ASC's primary mission encompasses providing a communication forum for the engineering and scientific community, expediting knowledge growth through interdisciplinary research, and promoting the exploitation of composite materials' unique properties in emerging applications across industries including aerospace, clean energy, and automotive sectors. ASC achieves its objectives primarily through its annual technical conference, which features presentations of cutting-edge research and development in composite materials. The organization also operates through Technical Divisions that focus on specific areas of composite technology, offers opportunities for professional involvement through conference session organization, and provides leadership positions for active members. The society maintains a comprehensive database of over 5,900 technical papers spanning from 1986 to 2024, serving as a valuable resource for the global composites community.
