Synopsis
Excerpt from Estate Rubber: Its Preparation, Properties and Testing
This book is a translation and extension of a treatise which appeared in Dutch in the beginning of 1919. The original Dutch edition was principally destined for the use of planters and of those directly interested inthe plantation rubber industry. We have thought it worth while to furnish the English edition with more figures and technical details which may be of interest to the rubber chemist, and to include the principal data from the already rather extensive literature on plantation-rubber. In order to give the reader an idea 'oi the present state of our knowledge on each subject we have added in small type reviews of the rather scattered and sometimes little known original sources from which we quoted. We have taken care only to cite such papers as we could consult ourselves, so as to avoid the errors in quotation and the incorrect conclusions still too common even in some of the best known textbooks. Completeness, of course, is almost unattainable in such work; still we have striven to bring the literature on each point together as fully as possible.
