PREFACE he Centennial Meeting of the American Chemical Society gave the Cellulose, Paper and Textile Division the opportunity to hold a timely symposium on International Developments in Cellulose, Paper, and Textiles. Research scientists from academia, industry, and government, representing more than sixteen countries, presented significant research accomplishments in paper, wood, and cellulose chemistry and in cotton, wool, and textile fiber chemistry. In this volume, research achievements in textile and paper chemistry and technology are discussed in four areas—chemistry, dyeing and finish ing, pulp and paper, and energy and environment. Two additional vol umes, "Cellulose Chemistry and Technology" and "Cellulose and Fiber Science Developments: A World View," will include other contributed manuscripts. I would like to thank the participants, presiding chairmen, and par ticularly P. Albersheim, D . F. Durso, C. T. Handy, B. Leopold, A. Sarko, L. Segal, and A. M . Sookne whose leadership made the twenty-two ses sions of the symposium truly international in scope. Herman Mark kindly made significant remarks to open the Symposium.
