Structure of certain glasses
M.L. Huggins and T. Abe postulate that in glasses containing, in addition to boric oxide, small relative amounts of an alkali of alkaline earth oxide, some of the boron atoms are surrounded by four oxygen atoms, all the oxygen atoms bridging between two boron atoms, while at concentrations beyond that of the thermal expansion minimum, some oxygens are assumed to have only one boron neighbor.

Structure of different types of iron demonstrated
A. Westgren and G. Phragmen demonstrate that alpha, beta, and delta iron are all body-centered cubic, while gamma iron is face- centered cubic, and that solid-solution austenite is an interstitial solid solution.

Synthetic resin containing ethers patented
W.E. Lawson, Imperial Chemical Industries, patents a synthetic resin containing ethers similar to the "glyptal" type prepared by heating polybasic carboxylic acids or anhydrides with ether alcohols to 175-250 degrees C to obtain complete estrification.

Water-insoluble bonders process patented
I.G. Farben patents a process whereby water-insoluble or poorly soluble bonders such as ethyl cellulose are formed into an aqueous dispersion which is sprayed, kneaded, etc., and may then be dried and treated with substances capable of dissolving or swelling the binding agent.
