With the inception of smart materials and stmctures, the world is on the brink of a new material age. Within this century the polymer age and the composite age have been experienced. These have now been foUowed by the smart material age. The implementation of smart materials into smart stmctures describes the smart material age more accurately.

For acid mists, the Brink impactor is often used (Fig. 10) (17). The mist is first drawn through a cyclone to remove particles larger than 3 fim. A five-stage impactor is used to classify mist particles of diameter 0.3—3.0 fim. 

In the book of Exodus (Chapter 2) we read that the mother of Moses when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark of bullrushes and daubed it with slime and with pitch, and put the child therein and she laid it in the flags by the river s brink . Biblical commentaries indicate that slime is the same as bitumen but whether or not this is so we have here the precursor of our modem fibre-reinforced plastics boat.

Safe operation for many years does not prove that a reaction will not run away. Unknown to the operators, the plant may be close to the conditions under which it becomes unstable, and a slight change in pressure, temperature, or concentration, too small to cause concern, may take it over the brink. The operators are blind men walking along the edge of a precipice, as the following incidents illustrate.
