Aims and scope
Advanced Composite Materials (ACM), a bi-monthly publication of the Japan Society for Composite Materials and the Korean Society for Composite Materials, provides an international forum for researchers, manufacturers and designers who are working in the field of advanced composite materials and their structures. Issues contain articles on all aspects of current scientific and technological progress in this interdisciplinary field. The topics of interest are physical, chemical, mechanical and other properties of advanced composites as well as their constituent materials; experimental and theoretical studies relating microscopic to macroscopic behavior; testing and evaluation with emphasis on environmental effects and reliability; novel techniques of fabricating various types of composites and of forming structural components utilizing these materials; design and analysis for specific applications.

Advanced Composite Materials publishes refereed original research papers, review papers, technical papers and short notes. Issues also contain news items such as information on new materials and their processing.
