Dear ipw reader,

below, please find recent news from our website to keep you informed in-beween our printed issues. Our current surface issue is on its way to you now, with articles on coating and surface treatment and nanotechnology. (Click here to subscribe.)

Last Thursday, during the Frankfurt Book Fair, we held the award ceremony for our annual 'haptic award'. The winners displayed inspiring examples of incorporating haptic elements to support a visual message.  Being able to see and feel an idea trying to be conveyed, can be achieved especially well with paper. To read the press release and see the winners, see www.paperazzo.de.

We hope to see you at MIAC this week or at another event soon!



With best regards,

your ipw team
