Polyethylene oxide, the material that eased Highburton's passage, is known to chemists as a long-chain polymer because it consists of lengthy strings of linked molecules. In the water near a ship, the molecular chains act much like an array of thin parallel tubes, allowing water to flow...
One firm covered the trails with loose Styrofoam pellets, which the wind blew into the woods. Others have experimented with long, shining strips of polymer plastics, which proved to be too slow and did not allow the ski edges to bite into the material on turns. Still others have developed...
Werner Bundschuh, a cameraman on loan from Polymer Films, took the pictures while perched in the bomb hatch of a World War II PBY.
Just eight months after proudly announcing its support of the Strickman cigarette filter-for which it received a major financial interest in return-Columbia University last week did an embarrassed about-face. Acting at the request of the inventor, New Jersey Chemist Robert L. Strickman, who felt that the university...
Strickman remains tight-lipped about exactly how his filter works. Unwilling to jeopardize his pending patent, he merely says the filter consists of a new type of partly crystalline, nontoxic polymer that works by "selective trapping," perhaps based on ion exchange and electrostatic action. He claims it costs little to...
