Synthetic plastic insulation

The end of the war and the lifting of travel restrictions has made possible a larger number of scientific meetings. The Committee on Chemistry of the National Research Council had its first meeting since the start of the war, at which a great many papers were presented on dielectrics. The American Chemical Society also had a symposium on electrical insulating materials at Atlantic City. “New Plastic Insulators” was the topic of discussion at the 19th meeting of the Electrochemical Society.
