Materials used in O & P

Hello All

We are hoping to write several articles on the use of different
materials used in O & P for publication in the features
section of the next issue of BAPOMAG ( the UK's O & P magazine). We
would like to hear from anyone with information on:

1. What materials are use in the O & P profession
2. Why are these materials used
3. What are the benefits and drawbacks of such materials

Obviously, we would be especially interested in new developments
either of existing materials or new materials. Some examples spring
to mind such as Polyurethane or Silicone.

We would also like to hear about unusual uses of materials. For
example, the use of plastic drinks bottles for lamination in a 3rd
World country.

Does anyone know of any published articles relating to this subject
which may be of interest?

All information is very much appreciated. Thanks
