The most important single development in the use of molybdenum disulphide as a lubricant was probably the initiation of studies by the US National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) in 1946. Their first report was published in 1948. This work by NACA and its successor the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) laid the foundations for the great expansion in use during the past forty years. The overall increase in activity in this period was so rapid that by 1952 Climax published a list of 154 different applications. 

The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) is a valuable source of information concerning plastics materials used in aircraft, such as transparent plastics, adhesives, and laminates of various types. Many reports on these materials are included in two comprehensive indexes (5, 4) of NACA technical publications. The reports are listed under subject headings, one of which is Plastics. To supplement the above, NACA Research Abstracts (5) is issued biweekly, listing reports on projects sponsored by...

Index of NACA Technical Publications. 1915-1958. Washington, D.C. National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. The definitive index to all unclassified and unlimited publications from the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), NASA s predecessor. Entries are arranged by subject category and contain concise information anthor, title, report number, and date. Subject and author indexes are included. The period 1915 to 1949 is covered in one volume, and several volumes cover 1950 through 1958. The NASA Technical Report Server http //ntrs.nasa.gov (accessed September 5, 2010) now provides online access to the digitized version of many NACA reports.

In 1958, a unique federal agency was established the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA was charged to plan, direct, and conduct aeronautical and space activities. NASA was not an entirely new organization. It had as its nucleus the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), an organization that had provided leadership in aeronautical research since 1915.
