Nottingham University Composites Club was formed in July 1990 in order to promote the technical advancement and application of composite materials.

The Club provides an industrial interface for groups working in composites research at The University of Nottingham and other research and educational establishments. The Club meets at two-monthly intervals and offers the opportunity for informal contact between Club members and their guests. The meetings vary in content and include seminars, case studies, site visits and demonstrations.

The programme aims to provide broad appeal and caters for those with interests in polymer, metal and ceramic matrix composites. The present membership is a mixture of large and small organisations representing automotive, aeropsace, moulders and the materials supply industry. In addition to their technical content, the meetings provide opportunities for informal technical discussion and development of new contacts.

Club membership brings access to a wide range of testing and consultancy services. Research services are available on long or short term contracts and an expanding programme of post-experience short courses in many aspects of composite materials engineering are available at favourable rates to Club members.
