[Gutenberg 7981] • Synthetic Tannins, Their Synthesis, Industrial Production and Application

Excerpt from Synthetic Tannins: Their Synthesis, Industrial Production and Application

The scientific results Of Fischer's researches are today common knowledge, and these, together with questions arising therefrom, will only be lightly touched upon in the book herewith presented. Even an attempt at enumerating the present synthetic tannins has so far not been published, and I have therefore availed myself Of the Opportunity Of making a brief summary of them. My work at the deepened my insight in this new field; ample Opportunity Of applying these synthetic products in practice was given me when, as a result Of the war, I was appointed technical consultant to the Austrian Hide and Leather Commission, and in this capacity was called upon to act as general adviser to the trade. The ultimate Object Of my scientific researches was then to investigate the chemistry Of this particular field, and this has led me to present a picture, complete as far as it goes, Of this branch of chemical technology.
