Proposed UK take over of Swiss based company DRG plc has announced that, subject to overseas governmental approval, it will take over the Swiss based adhesives products manufacturer, Cellux Group, which has a turnover greater than SFr 100 million and employs 350 people in 10 countries. According to DRG, the acquisition will make it one of the world's major producers, adding to its well known
brands a range of technical, industrial, consumer tapes, sealants and adhesives. In the immediate future Cellux will join with Sellotape, Kwikseal and Flowlock to establish DRG's new Adhesive Technology Division.

Preview The aim of the Second International Conference Bonding in Manufacturing (FSK), being held in Bremen, FRG, on the 4 - 6 October 1989, is to bring together scientific and applied knowledge in bonding. Organised by members of a committee of DECHEMA (Deutsche Gesellschaft fur Chemisches Apparatewesen, Chemische Technik und Biotechnologie e.V.) and DVS (Deutscher Verband fur Schweil~technik e.V,), the meeting will include some English language papers alongside the bulk of the German language papers being presented. There will be simultaneous translation from German into English. For further information on the conference please contact:
DECHEMA, Abt Tagungen, POB 9 7 01 46, D-Frankfurt am Main 9 7, FRG.
The 13th Annual Meeting of the Adhesion Society is to be held on 18-21 February 1990, in Savannah, Georgia, USA. A call for papers has been out welcoming papers in the following areas: Rheology of adhesives (including pressure sensitive adhesives, polymer/filler interactions, adhesive processability, adhesive curing and adhesive toughening); Thin film adhesion (including coatings and adhesion in electronics); Interfaces (including

surface analysis, surface modification and fibre - matrix interaction); Adhesive testing and analysis (including new tests, nondestructive testing, finite element analysis, evaluation of adhesive tests and durability testing); and Abhesion (including how to avoid abhesion and lubrication). There will be a poster section on the 19 February with a short course on The Principles of Adhesion preceding the meeting on the 17-18 February. For further information please contact: Professor Gary Flamed,

Chairman of ICCI, Department of Macromolecular Science, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio 44160-1712, USA.
The first circular and call for papers has been issued for Speciality Polymers '90, the fourth international conference in the biennial series, which is to be held on 8-10 August 1990 at the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA. Organised and sponsored by the journal Polymer, one of the aims of this conference series is to attract an international gathering of leading authorities to discuss the latest research and developments in their field. The topics selected as the theme for the 1990 conference are electro-optic polymers and highly ordered fibres and films. The scientific programme will comprise invited papers, oral contributions and poster papers. Submission of abstracts should be by 12 January 1990. For further information contact: Mrs
W Harvey, Conference Organiser, Butterworfh Scientific Limited, PO Box 63, Westbury House, Bury Street, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 5BH, UK.

The purpose of these conferences is to encourage active participation and the exchange of information pertaining to the fundamental science, rather than the technological issues of composite materials, with active participation encouraged from both academic and industrial researchers. Areas of special interest in which papers are invited are: controlled interphase; structural characterisation of interfaces and interphases; properties (including
