Materials of C nstruction The second annual Chemical Engineering Materials of Construction Review extends for one year the survey that appeared in the October 1947 issue. of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. Several changes will be apparent in this second review. The 1947 sections on glass, chemical stoneware, and refractories have been superseded by the single section on ceramics. Several sections that appeared in the 1947 feature are not present because the authors have felt that sufficient new information has not appeared in the literature since last year to justify another review. An extensive, documented tabular section is presented immediately following the review articles. This section summarizes important published information on the physical and chemical properties of the chemical engineering materials. Materials in the tabular section are grouped according to subject to correspond to the literature review sections. Information for the tabulation is a contribution of the respective section authors.
