ÂÌñÏ×ÆÞ announces the next installment in its annual Tech Days online event series will be “High-Temperature Composite Solutions for Defense and Space Applications.” The event is scheduled to take place Oct. 16, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. ET.

As defense and space missions push the boundaries of performance, the demand for advanced materials that can endure extreme environments and conditions continues to grow. Along these lines, CW’s fall 2025 online industry education series will explore the latest developments in high-temperature composite materials, with a focus on lightweight, thermally stable solutions designed to meet the rigorous requirements of modern aerospace and defense systems.

The CW Tech Days will feature presentations from industry experts providing valuable insight into:

  • Composite solutions capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 800°C and ultra-high temperatures to 2000°C.
  • The role of high-temperature thermosets (for example, polyimide, BMI) ceramic matrix composites (CMC), carbon/carbon (C/C) and related materials in mission-critical components.
  • Key challenges in design, fabrication, testing and certification of high-temperature systems.
  • Solutions for meeting high-rate production of high-temp components at low cost.
  • Real-world applications in hypersonics, propulsion systems, thermal protection and structural components and assemblies.

Make sure to keep an eye out for updates here leading up to the event.

Call for abstracts

Material and equipment suppliers, along with industry experts interested in presenting at the fall CW Tech Days event on Oct. 16, 2025, are invited to submit abstracts to press@compositesworld.com. Please reference “CW High-Temp Composites Tech Days” in the subject line. Abstracts should be approximately 150 words and clearly explain the topics to be presented, including a list of technologies, processes or strategies that will be addressed.

All submitted abstracts will be considered for inclusion in the event agenda. The deadline for consideration is July 7, 2025.

Abstracts are evaluated and considered according to the technical and educational value they bring to the global composites industry. In order to bring the most value to our audience, we will avoid content that is highly commercial or does not clearly relate to trends and/or new developments in high-temperature systems.
