Zinkel 2 Naval Stores Sources

Rosin exploitation, a part of the so-called Naval Stores Industry, is at least as old as the construction of wooden naval vessels. It was however only during the first half of the twentieth century that the chemistry of this natural resource was studied in detail and new transformations and applications developed on a more scientific basis. A vast number of papers and patents are available on these topics and most of the relevant information were comprehensively reviewed in the classical book edited by Zinkel and Russell in 1989 [1], which covered all aspects, from the sources and processing, to the chemistry and applications of this versatile raw material. A less exhaustive survey, devoted to rosin applications for polymer synthesis, was also published in the same year by Maitief aZ. [2].
