Abstract
THE appearancee of a comparatively comprehensive book on rubber science is an event of some importance. The last publication of the kind was Davis and Blake' “Chemistry and Technology of Rubber” (1937), and a comparison of this with the volume under review makes one immediately aware not only of the considerable advances which have taken place in almost every aspect of the subject, but even more strikingly of the shift of emphasis away from organic chemistry and towards physics and physical chemistry. This is not due to any reduction in the significance or importance of the organic chemical aspect, but rather to an efflorescence of new concepts and ideas of a somewhat revolutionary character in the physical realm which have combined to make rubber science one of the most fascinating of present-day studies. Advances in Colloid Science Initiated by the late Elmer O. Kraemer. Vol. 2: Scientific Progress in the Field of Rubber and Synthetic Elastomers. Edited by H. Mark G. S. Whitby. Pp. xl + 453. (New York: Inter-science Publishers, Inc., 1946.) 7 dollars.
