This directory gives concise, detailed profiles of principal European organisations developing advanced materials. Each entry gives name and address information followed by an organisational profile and the range of activities in which the organisation is most involved. The expertise of the organisation is classified by thirteen types of materials, ie. ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, alloys, oxides, carbides, nitrides, thermoplastics, thermosets, elastomers, fibres, matrix composites, reinforcement composites and composite systems. The material types are then cross referenced to nine application areas: aerospace, automotive, defence, machinery process plant, construction, electronic electrical magnetic, optical, packaging and consumer goods. All entries are in English and the directory is Pan-European in scope. The invited list of entrants is compiled from primary sources including trade associations, Government ministries, academic institutions and the publisher's proprietary network of correspondents.
