Materials of Construction With this issue we present the fifth annual Chemical Engineering Materials of Construction Review. The review contains fifteen articles covering construction material literature of the past year. The section on Paint is being presented for the first time and the articles on Carbon and Graphite, and Wood, omitted from last year’s review, are included this year. Our third tabular data compilation, supplementary to those appearing in the 194%and 1950 Materials of Construction Reviews, lists physical and chemical properties of several chemical engineering materials.
