Shear stress for one plane of atoms to slip should be 1/6 the shear modulus
J. Frenkel calculates that the shear stress required to
cause one plane of atoms to slip over an adjacent one
should be about one-sixth the shear modulus.

Aniline-formaldehyde condensation products
Aniline-formaldehyde condensation products, formed in
presence of acid, are treated with a base to eliminate
acid. The result is a homogeneous, easily-worked product
which can be dried and compressed in molds. (Soc. Anon.

Heterogeneous metals are more liable to corrode
U.R. Evans observes that, speaking generally, the junction
of dissimilar metals often constitutes the seat of severe
corrosion, and that, on the whole, heterogeneous materials
are more liable to attack than homogeneous materials.
