9:15 AM Plenary I: "The Prospects of Developing and Applying Composites Solutions for the Oil and Gas Industry," by K. H. Leong, PETRONAS Research, Malaysia.
Over the last decade or so there has been significant growth in the interest of using composites in the oil and gas industry. Due to escalating cost of revenue, this interest has mainly stemmed from the need for operators to enhance recovery, through the development of marginal and deeper-water fields, as well as to improve overall operational efficiency. Whilst the potential of composites to offer lighter weight and safer structures that also require lower maintenance is clear, their adoption in the field to date has, despite much effort, expanded little beyond applications such as pipings, gratings and the likes of these. The promise of the materials initially anticipated (or hoped !) for more structural and demanding applications is still for the most part not realized.
This presentation will look into the historical growth of composites in the oil and gas industry and examine the barriers that are impeding the wider and newer use of composite materials in the oilfields. Lessons gained from early pioneering attempts to introduce structural composites to the oil and gas industry will be discussed whilst opportunities to learn from other industries which have had more experience and success in this endeavor will also be highlighted. Finally, based on the analysis, some suggestions for the way forward for composites R&D and applications in the oil and gas industry are presented.

1:30 PM Plenary II: "Quest for Clean Water, Energy and Regenerative Medicine via Materials Advancement," by Seeram Ramakrishna, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Compared to the last millennium, in this millennium humanity is more concerned about the issues of planet Earth. Growing population and ageing population are demanding affordable resources (water, energy and food) and healthcare. The last five years saw a tenfold increase in global research and industrial activity in electrospinning and nanofibers. This paper describes how advances in electrospun nanofibers can be used for treatment of water, harvesting of sunlight and regenerative medicine. In water treatment, a novel thin film nanofiltration membranes using nanofibrous support material is being developed. This is expected to enhance flux in nanofiltration-based water treatment processes. In the case of energy, attention is to fabricate light weight-cum-high performance solar cells and solar cloths using high aspect ratio semiconducting electrospun nanowires. Consideration of making light weight photovoltaic device is to develop free standing non-woven fiber cloths with appropriate materials. High performance is expected to result from tailoring the charge transport through these devices by judicious manipulation of the morphologies and materials characteristics as well as novel phenomena originate from size quantization in semiconducting nanocrystals. In regenerative medicine, we will discuss about nanofibrous architectures for peripheral nerve, skin, heart and bone regeneration.

Advanced composite materials are now finding even wider application in primary structures of aircraft, as evidenced by the latest aircraft structural technology being introduced by the aerospace primes. Coupled with this increased use are ever greater demands to reduce design, certification, manufacturing and operational costs of composite airframe structures. To address this demand, new simulation tools are being developed that can significantly reduce the number of tests required and reduce design cycle time, whilst simultaneously increasing design confidence. The integration of these tools into common environments the virtual testing laboratory is now progressing to an initial stage of maturity.

8:00 AM Plenary IV: "Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Using Finite Element Analysis Incorporating Interatomic Potentials," by Tae Jin Kang, Professor and Dean of Seoul National University College of Engineering, Korea.
Predictions of the mechanical properties of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) were performed using finite element analysis incorporating interatomic potentials. The covalent bonds were considered as connecting elements between carbon atoms and the carbon atoms act as joints of the connecting element. Modified Morse's potential was used for estimating properties of the elements. The effects of diameter, chirality and vacancy defects of SWNTs on the mechanical properties were studied. Youngs modulus of SWNT was found to be in the range of 0.95 1.3 TPa by assuming that the wall thickness is 0.34nm. The radius, chirality and defects of the nanotubes had a significant effect on the mechanical properties.

10:30 AM Plenary V: "Vibration Damping CFRP Beams Designed Using Combined Interlayers of Viscoelastic Films and Dispersed Piezoelectric Ceramic Particles," by Toshio Tanimoto, Shonan Institute of Technology, Japan.
Carbon-fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) cantilever beams that have high vibration damping performance have been designed using (1) interleaving of viscoelastic thermoplastic films, (2) surface-bonded piezoelectric ceramics, and (3) dispersed PZT particle interlayers. Introducing polyethylene-based film interlayers between composite plies resulted in a significant increase in the vibration loss factor. It is also shown that the vibration damping of CFRP laminates can be improved passively by means of resistively shunted, surface-bonded piezoelectric ceramic, PbZrO3-PbTiO3 (PZT) sheets. The author also discusses the enhanced vibration damping of CFRP laminates with dispersed PZT particle interlayers. All these damping methods, interleaving of thermoplastic films, interlayers of PVDF films or dispersed PZT particles between composite plies, and resistively shunted, surface-bonded PZT sheets, can be jointly used to improve the damping of CFRP laminates/structures. The usefulness of the above-mentioned damping concept is verified through an application of the method to the actual design of robotic arm. The robotic arm developed using damping CFRP materials showed an excellent vibration damping in comparison with those made with conventional CFRP and aluminum materials. The use of CFRP beams in combination with several damping concepts discussed here is promising for application in structures where high stiffness in light weight and improved vibration damping are desired.

3:30 PM Plenary VI: "Design and Fabrication of Light-Weight Composite Pressure Vessel," by Xiaodong He, Harbin Institute of Technology, China.
Composite pressure vessel has become a pivotal component of aerospace power systems, but the weight reduction is the key issue for development of the advanced engine systems. Here we proposed a new method to design and manufacture composite pressure vessel with ultrathin thin metallic liner to meet the light weight.
Fiber winding trace was optimized along the primary stress direction through the simulation and the mechanical analysis of non-geodesic filament winding path of composite pressure vessel contained unequal polar. As for the gas tightness and weight reduction requirement of high pressure vessels, we fabricate the ultrathin (<0.8 mm) aluminum liner with an ultra large diameter. At the same time, the three-element analysis model of liner/interface/composite structure was established. The deformation between ultrathin metallic liner and composite structural layer was very compatible.
The simulation software of the filament winding process was also developed, which could be very beneficial to design and optimize the lightweight composite pressure vessel with time and cost saving. We also set up an evaluation system and performance testing platform of composite pressure vessel containing ultrathin metallic liner to meet the spacecraft requirement, which provides the basis to mostly reduce the weight of composite pressure vessels.
