I as Founder, President and Chairman of International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM) series wish to put on record my grateful thanks to the entire participant who have shown their keen interest in the theme of the conference. Since, advanced composites are enabling materials for a number of demanding energy efficient and eco-friendly applications in aerospace, power generation, and ground transportation, nuclear and chemical industries. These materials have unique properties such as high strength, high stiffness, long fatigue life, low density, and adaptability to the intended functions. Significant achievements have been made worldwide in the design, development, manufacturing, and application of these materials in recent years and considerable innovative research is still continuing to address technical and economic challenges.

The worldwide participation and recognition led to grand success of the each series of International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM), which were held at various places; ICRACM-2004 held at BHU, Varanasi, India in December 2004. ICRACM-2007 held at India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India in February 2007. ICRACM-2010 held at Limoges University, Limoges, France in December 2010. ICRACM-2013 held at International Centre, Goa, India in February 2013. ICRACM-2016 has been organized at KL University, Vijayawada, Guntur, AP, India from 6-8th February 2017 under the Chairmanship of Prof. B. Nageswara Rao. Sixth International Conference on Recent Advances in Composite Materials (ICRACM-2019) was organized at Swatantrata Bhavan, BHU, IIT (BHU), Varanasi from February 25-28 2019. More than 300 delegates from India and abroad were presented their expert lectures during technical session of ICRACM-2019 conference.The major goal of ICRACM series are to bring academician and researchers together in various disciplines from all over the world to share knowledge and exchange their views leading to industrial applications of composite materials. Most of the ICRACM series have been supported by AOARD-AFOSR, Roppongi, Tokyo, Japan and GONR, Singapore due to unique dimension and significance demands in composite community. These supports are predicted on the belief that scientific and technical advances are strongly promoted by direct interactions among a diverse set of researchers and technologists. Finally, I am very gratefull to all of my friends, who have joined the ICRACM-2004, ICRACM-2007, ICRACM-2010, ICRACM-2013, ICRACM-2016 and ICRACM-2019 conferences and presented their composite experiences for the benefits of young composite researchers after travelling long distances from all around the globe. I shall be highly oblised their kind supports for the grand success of ICRACM series. Also, organising committee is gratefully acknowledging financial support of Director/ Manager, AOARD-AFOSR, Tokyo, Japan, ONR, Singapore and president European Ceramic Society to organize ICRACM Series for the academic benefits and interaction of composite researchers all over the world. Seventh Series will be pheld at Institute of Textile and Composite Engineering, RWTH, Aachen, Germany from September 26-29, 2023. Eight Series will be planned at Department of Civil Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi from December 2-4, 2025.
