Compilation of three Union Carbide Chemicals Division R&D status reports. The first (Oct. 7, 1963) reports reactions of Coalinga chrysotile asbestos with aqueous and non-aqueous acids and cross-linking for asbestos-reinforced resins. The second (Dec. 11, 1963) reports torsion-pendulum tests of polypropylene, chrysotile-filled polypropylene and nylon 66. The third (July 10, 1964) reports that phenol and a nonanol did not chemically add to asbestos. Pages 41-172 were not provided.
