Publications 99 and G. R. HENNIG was Chairman of the Programme Committee.
The seventy papers in this volume were submitted and processed early enough to go ahead with publication and the remaining papers will appear in a second volume.
This was the first Carbon Conference to be held away from Buffalo and it surpassed previous ones so much and represents such an increasing interest in this field of research that changes in the mode of operation of future conferences may have to be made.
The next conference will be held in Pittsburgh in June 1963.
The papers are placed in five sections, electronic properties (7); surface properties, adsorption and reactivity (24); irradiation, nuclear graphite and diffusion (13); carbonization, graphitization and structure ( 14); mechanical and thermal properties, friction and wear, carbon technology (12). Papers that are of most direct interest to readers of this journal include the following:
J. NAGLE and R. F. STRICKLAND-CONSTABLE, on the oxidation of carbon between 1 000" and 2 000ยฐC; F. M. LANG, P. MAGNIER and S. MAY, on the oxidation of carbons by air and carbon dioxide: a series of five papers by D. G. SCHWEITZER and his colleagues on oxidation and heat transfer studies in graphite channels. This is the fourth volume of the series and the third one published by Pergamon Press Inc.
It is of the excellent type of production that is associated with this press. The author and subject indices are quite adequate.
