Additives for Polymers
will be in London, UK, on 9- 10 November 1998. The conference is organized by Rapra Technology Ltd. The organizers are now inviting prospective authors to make offers of papers. The scope for subjects is wide, with the accent on descriptions of new additives and grades that have been introduced during 1998, advances in scientific understanding of relevant principles, analysis of recent market trends and perceived future needs, both technical and commercial. Case histories of additives used in specific applications such as packaging film and automotive products are also requested.
