Abstract
Since resinography is literally the graphic description of resins, polymers, and their products, any scheme of investigation which produces a graphic record is important here. The record could be simply a handwritten one, or typed on a punch card as in Figure 2-1. For easier retrieval, the information could be punched on tape to be fed to a computer memory. Rather than a written record, a pictorial one is often more exact and more compact, since it is the traditional equivalent of a thousand words (see Figure 2-2, which is a photograph showing the structure and morphology of a wartime automobile tire). Finer detail can be recorded by resorting to microscopy, as is evident in Figure 2-3, a montage of three photomicrographs which show the fine structure (at appropriate resolution) of an entire cross section of a commercial artificial leather. Sometimes a cinematograph (a succession of frames on a moving-picture film) provides the record, as in Figure 1-2 of the preceding chapter. And of course, the photomicrograph may be obtained at higher resolution by using an electron microscope, as in Figure 2-4, which shows the very fine structure of an acrylic fiber.
