HOLD THE LINE IT DOESNT SURPRISE ANYONE TO-DAY that their telephone is made of plastics instead of wood. The reason is, of course, that plastics are the best materials for the job. Plastics are just a few of the hundreds of new, man-made materials that scientists have given uS materials that were not even imagined a few years ag0, but are now accepted as a part of our everyday lives. Many of these substances owe their existence, or their development; to ICIs research workers the versatile plastic Perspex first used in aircraft windscreens and now to be found in a thousand different articles, is a good example. But ICIs contribution covers a wide feld; and includes new drugs; dyestuffs and paints, and such fbres as Ardil and Terylene which bid fair to revolutionise our ideas of clothing: The list iS, quite literally, never ending; for the source of them ICIs 8712 million-a-year re- search and development programme goes on unceasingly in laboratories all over Great Britain.
