This presentation will provide a brief overview of the many applications of polymeric materials in Air Force systems and enumerate research activities and interests in polymers for future applications.  Opportunities for collaboration and funding will be highlighted,  The current polymer emphais areas for the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing and Propulsion Directorates, as well as the current interest areas of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, will be described.  Finally, the impetus and scope of an integrated computational materials science and engineering initiative foundational engineering prblem in composite materials will be discussed.
