Some aspects of resin development

The inclusion of the word ‘some’ in the above title is essential. When reviewing even a fraction of all the literature dealing with current and likely future developments in the synthetic resins field, it becomes apparent that any paper adequately covering this would be far too long to be of any use in a symposium such as this. It has therefore been necessary to highlight certain aspects which are of a major nature on the one hand and more familiar to the author on the other.
