The International Conference on Composite Materials and Technologies (InCoMat-2026) marks the beginning of a new global platform dedicated to advancing research, innovation, and applications in the field of composite materials and their industrial applications. Scheduled to be held for the first time from March 13-15, 2026, this prestigious event will bring together leading academicians, researchers, industry experts, and technologists from across the world to share knowledge, exchange ideas, and showcase breakthroughs in composite science and engineering.

Composites have emerged as a critical enabler in shaping the future of industries ranging from aerospace, automotive, and energy to healthcare, defense, and infrastructure. With their unique blend of strength, lightweight properties, and multifunctionality, composite materials are driving sustainability, efficiency, and performance in ways traditional materials cannot match. InCoMat-2026 aims to highlight these advancements while providing a forum for discussing the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

The conference will feature plenary talks, keynote lectures, technical sessions, poster presentations, and industry exhibitions, offering participants a holistic view of the latest trends and technologies. Special emphasis will be given to the following emerging areas, but not limited to:

  • Polymer and Fibre-Reinforced Matrix Composites: Design, Processing, and Applications
  • Nano-Composites: Material Development, Characterisation, and Nanostructure Behaviour
  • Bio-Composites: Natural Fibre-based Solutions and Biodegradable Systems
  • Composite Design, Testing and Validation: Experimental Mechanics and Reliability Studies
  • Numerical Simulation in Composites: FEA, CFD, and Multiscale Modelling Approaches
  • Failure Mechanisms and Fracture Behaviour: Static and Dynamic Failure Analysis
  • Natural Fibre Composites: Low-carbon, Indigenous, and Cost-effective Solutions
  • Sustainability and Composite Recycling: Life-cycle Assessment, Reuse, and Zero-waste Models
  • Advanced Manufacturing Technologies: 3D Printing, RTM, VARTM, Autoclave, and Automation
  • Rapid Prototyping and Digital Twin Techniques
  • Coatings and Surface Modifications: Metallic, Polymeric, or Functional Interfaces
  • Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs): Thermal and Structural Applications
  • Application-Driven Domains: Aerospace, Automotive, Defense, Mobility, Energy, and Infrastructure

By fostering collaboration between research institutions, industries, and policymakers, InCoMat-2026 aspires to create a sustainable ecosystem that accelerates the transition of composite innovations from the laboratory to real-world applications.

We invite you to be a part of InCoMat-2026, where ideas converge, innovations take shape, and the future of composite materials and technologies is envisioned.
