K2004 PREVIEW
It's K all the way.
This month's issue of British Plastics & Rubber is given over to a preview of the K2004 exhibition in Düsseldorf next month. The triennial K exhibition is acknowledged as the world's window on materials and equipment for processing plastics - and to a certain extent, rubbers. It is where you will find all the latest technology, and where new technology comes out into the light. Our preview coverage gives you an overview of the current state of technology that affects your business.
Inevitably we've only been able to scratch the surface, but we think it's a pretty significant scratch. As well as the preview in this issue we have a rolling internet preview which will be updated steadily until the show opens. And anything of significance that hadn't emerged in time for inclusion this month, will, schedules permitting, be in next month's British Plastics & Rubber.

Lots of plastics - and then more.
You don't have to be a materials giant to host a worthwhile web resource. Clive Maier takes a walk through the Lots Of Plastics web site.
Keeping up is hard to do.
There is a relentless influx of new literature on polymer engineering - magazine articles, conference papers, company literature - that make keeping up with technology a potential nightmare. Clive Maier tries an abstracting service from Rapra Technology that keeps you ahead of the game.
