Preface

The 2nd international conference on composites “Advances in Composite Science and Technologies” was held in Bauman Moscow State Technical University from 20-21 November 2019. The conference is meant to be a unified international platform for the knowledge and experience exchange between representatives of the scientific community within the field of composite materials. The following sections covered the most important topics in the composite sciences field. Session 1. “Smart” composite materials and composites for biomedical application Session 2. Advanced metal matrix composites Session 3. Physical and technological maintenance of the quality of composite materials products Session 4. Composite materials for rocket and space applications Session 5. Mechanics of composite materials and structures Session 6. Inorganic composite materials Session 7. Fiber surface modification methods Session 8. Modelling in composite science Session 9. High Temperature composites Session 10. Russian engineering school (educational session) The success of the conference is supported with more than 80 proceeding papers received by the Organizing Committee with 70 selected for publication after the reviewing process. We are grateful to all participants as well as to discussion leaders, members of Organizing and Scientific boards for taking part in the conference and we are looking forward to next year’s event.
