The 9
th
Annual Technical Conference of the SAMPE UK and Ireland chapter will be
held on 24
th
February, 2009 at the Totworth Court Three Pillars Hotel, Bristol.
It is well-known that lightweight materials offer benefits in terms of
fuel efficiency and hence CO2 emissions in transport, energy generation
and construction applications. Hence they offer a vital contribution to
sustainable development – high performance composites offer a direct
route to reducing our carbon footprint. This one day event will focus
on environmental issues and solutions offered by lightweight composite
materials. Invited presentations will cover a variety of issues
including fuel efficient solutions in transportation, life cycle
analysis, renewable energy solutions, recycling and re-use. This broad
overview will allow delegates to benefit from the experience of experts
from a number of sectors, offering a unique networking opportunity for
environmentally aware engineers. The full conference details can be
