A RUBBER TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, under the auspices of the Institution of the Rubber Industry, has been arranged to take place in London on May 23–25, under the honorary presidency of Sir William Bragg. The Conference is being supported by the leading organizations connected with the rubber producing and manufacturing industries and by many other scientific and technical societies; altogether, some seventy organizations in Great Britain, Canada, South Africa, British Malaya, Ceylon, the United States, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Italy and Poland will be sending official delegates to the Conference. These include the Research Association of British Rubber Manufacturers and many of the other industrial research associations operating under the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. More than seventy papers have already been promised from authors representing most of the countries just mentioned. This excellent response promises to make the Conference an outstanding event, at which a notable gathering of rubber technologists and scientific men interested in rubber from at home and over-seas is expected. A special feature of the Conference will be a symposium on methods of improving and evaluating the durability of rubber, but all other aspects of rubber, visit science and technology will be covered by the remaining sessions.
