T h e third edition of the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY is built on the solid foundation of the previous two editions. All of the articles in this new edition have been rewritten and updated and many new subjects have been added to reflect changes in chemical technology since the second edition. The results, however, will be familiar to users of the earlier editions: comprehensive, authoritative, accessible, lucid. This Encyclopedia remains the indispensable tool for all producers and users of chemical products and materials.

In many ways, this edition is an entirely new encyclopedia—yet its format is familiar to those acquainted with the earlier editions. New features include the use of SI units as well as English units, Chemical Abstracts Service's Registry Numbers, and a complete indexing based on automated retrieval from a machinereadable composition system. New subjects have been added especially in polymer and plastics technology, fuels and energy, inorganic and solid state chemistry, composite materials, coatings, fermentation and enzymes, pharmaceuticals, surfactant technology, fibers, and textiles. As in the Second Edition, authors are acknowledged at the end of every article. For prospectus, write to N a t Bodian, Dept. 092
