The start of a new year is a time for introspection. Here at ASI, we are constantly reevaluating our content, whether in print, online, in our weekly e-mail newsletter, or in our web seminars. Are we reaching the right audience? Are we providing the right kind of information - what our readers need to do their jobs effectively and stay abreast of trends in the industry? Is this information presented in a reader-friendly and accurate format?
To kick off the New Year, we have several exciting features in this issue. Our look at new technologies starts with the best: three award-winning papers presented at meetings during 2005. The first article, "High-Performance Styrenic Block Copolymers Featuring a Novel Hybrid Midblock Phase," is winner of the Best Technical Paper award at the Adhesive & Sealant Council Fall 2005 Convention, held in Louisville, KY.
