Database: RAPRA

RAPRA is a bibliographic and directory database dedicated exclusively to rubber, plastics, adhesives, and polymeric composites. The database covers the worldwide scientific, technical, and trade literature, as well as patent documents relevant to the rubber and plastics industries and published since 1994 by the European Patent Office, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and the World Intellectual Property Organization. The directory part of RAPRA consists of company address records and tradename records.

There is a wide scope of subjects in the database encompassing technical, academic, commercial, and marketing aspects of the rubber and plastics industries.

Citations contain bibliographic data, in-depth indexing both in American and British spelling, and an abstract.

The database corresponds to the printed Rapra Abstracts, Adhesives Abstracts, and Rapra New Tradenames.
