Lists, editorial abbreviations

The entries of this index were derived directly by computer program from the lists of references. The accuracy of the references was the sole responsibility of the authors. No editorial check, except for format and journal-title abbreviation, was applied. Consequently, errors occurring in authors names in the references will recur in this index. 

Three distinct types of information are presented (1) descriptions of chemicals, raw materials, processes, and equipment (2) expanded definitions of chemical entities, phenomena, and terminology and (3) descriptions or identifications of a wide range of trademarked products used in the chemical industries. Supplementing these are listings of accepted chemical abbreviations used in the literature, short biographies of chemists of historic importance, and winners of the Nobel prize in chemistry. Also included are descriptions or notations of the nature and location of many U.S. technical societies and trade associations. In special cases editorial notes have been supplied where it was felt necessary to clarify or amplify a definition or description. A few entries written by specialists are acknowledged by use of the author s name.
