New Opportunities. Are You Prepared? Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering Society for the Advancement of Material and Process Engineering SAMPE Tech 2011 Proceedings “Developing Scalable Materials & Processes for Our Future” was the theme for SAMPE Tech 2011. The Dallas-Ft. Worth (DFW) SAMPE Chapter sponsored a technical program designed for M&P professionals that showcased a compilation of about 140 presentations in six tracks that capture the theme of the conference within these Proceedings. These tracks were: nanotechnology, materials, applications, processing, testing and simulation. In the traditional M&P area, papers include topics such as: high temperature materials, adhesives, resins, bonding, joining, NDI, reinforcements, testing, sandwich construction, automated fabrication, out-of-autoclave processing and matrix science. Further, particular emphasis has been placed on material applications with papers on transportation, wind energy and aircraft applications. In the Nanotechnology area, papers include topics such as: flammability resistance, electrical and thermal properties, fabrication methods, graphene and high-performance resins. Finally, the Proceedings contain extensive information on the topics of adaptive & multifunctional structures, composite design, engineering simulation and damage tolerance. These papers present many very interesting emerging methods and technologies. The DFW area is centrally located, a fact that resulted in significant contributions to these Proceedings from many regions throughout the society. This is in addition to the contributions made by the strong base of local expertise. The combined result is a solid technical set of Proceedings worthy of addition to the knowledge base of the society.SAMPE Publishing, 2011, Edited by W. Chan, J. Koo, P. Oldroyd, P. Sears and S.W.
