Editorial Opportunities

Composites Technology magazine offers several Web- and print-based opportunities for composites industry suppliers and processors to communicate with CT readers about new products, new technologies, and other developments.

Following is a review of story types and how best to communicate with editorial staff about each.

IM Inside Manufacturing provides an in-depth, technical, step-by-step review of the materials, tooling and processes used to produce a composite part or structure. The depth of an IM requires extensive material and processing information.
Contact: Editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan.

EI Engineering Insights provides an in-depth, technical review of the design of a composite part or structure. Emphasis is on materials use, applicaton challenges, design considerations and design solutions. The hallmark of this story type is a detailed product drawing that illustrates concepts discussed. Contact: Editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan.

WIP Work in Process provides a glimpse of an emerging composites technology, material or application. WIPs tend to be less in-depth and less technical, but provide an opportunity to explore lesser known composites applications. Contact: Editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan.

Features Features provide extensive, in-depth exploration of a relatively broad composites-related topic, either end market, material, machinery, technology or process related.Contact: Editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan

C: P, P &F Composites: Past, Present & Future is a monthly column in which composites industry professionals share their opinions or offer perspective on an issue facing the industry. Contact editor-in-chief Jeff Sloan if you’re interested in contributing.

Applications Applications are short case histories that describe use of a material, machine, software or process by a composites processor to meet specific challenges in the manufacture of a composite part or structure. Applications may be submitted as a press release or manuscript directly to the editor. Photos are required. Edited length: 350-450 words.

New Products Press releases, brochures or other information describing a product new to the composites marketplace can be sent at any time. New products will be posted first on the compositesworld.com website, and then considered for use in print. Due to space limits in the printed magazine, not all new products that are posted online will appear in print. Photos are strongly encouraged. Edited length: 200-300 words.

News Composites-related news of acquisitions, expansions, promotions, new hires and other similar announcements can be sent at any time. Most new items received are first published in the CompositesWorld Weekly e-newsletter, and then considered for use in print. Photos are strongly encouraged.
