Since the first Japan-Korea Joint Symposium on Composite Materials was held in Sapporo, Japan in the year
2000, the six times Korea-Japan Joint Symposia have been alternatively held as an annual event in Korea andJapan, which were very successful owing to not only the high quality of papers but also the eager participation
especially. The Seventh Joint Symposium will be held at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology in Kanazawa,
Japan (http://www.kanazawa-it.ac.jp/ekit/index.html). Kanazawa is the prefectural capital of Ishikawa Prefecture
and located in the central part of the mainland of Japan (http://www.kanazawa-tourism.com/). The climate ismild and warm even in autumn. Kanazawa Castle Park and Kenrokuen Garden (one of the three greatest gardensin Japan) are located in the center of the city area. The joint symposium aims at the cooperative efforts by thecomposites communities of both countries in soliciting for works of various research topics and in promoting theparticipation of scientists, engineers and students. All topics and all the scientific/technological approaches forcomposite materials are pertinent to this joint symposium.
The financial support is provided by Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR), Asian Office ofAerospace Research and Development (AOARD). We wish to thank AFOSR/AOARD for their contribution tothe success of this conference.
