  • Chemistry and Industry

    Ernst HomburgARTICLEIsis2018Citada por: 3Referencias: 22

    There are many histories of the chemical industry but very few systematic studies that portray the changing relations between chemistry and industry. This essay tackles the issue by looking to evolving practices and to changes in semantics in particular.

After explaining the basic features of the so‐called “Dutch process” of white lead produc…

    Open AccessAnthony S Travis, Willem J Hornix et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal for the…1992Citada por: 14Referencias: 19

    The focus of this paper is the emergence of the research laboratory as an organizational entity within the company structure of industrial firms. The thesis defended is that, after some groundwork by British and French firms, the managements of several of the larger German dye companies set up their own research organizations between the years 1877 and 1883. The analysis of the emergence of the industrial research laboratory in the dyestuffs indu…
