Abstract
Metal Matrix composites VI, held at The Royal Society, London on 26-27 November 1997, was the latest conference in this biennial series. The fact that applications in major industries such as transport, high speed machinery, scientific instruments, optics, electronics, and sporting goods have only recently become significant is indicative of the length of time it takes for new materials to achieve large commercial markets. However, the attendance included a higher proportion of industrial delegates than in previous years and this shows the increasing commercial interest in MMCs. In addition, although not designated an international conference, the meeting attracted 30 overseas delegates, representing 18 countries, among the total attendance of just over 100.
