Shellac Archive Update – “Esters and Ether-Esters of Lac and Their Polymerization”

My most recent additions to the archive included some work by Gidvani, and this one will continue that theme.

In the 1930s especially various research bureaus produced several important monographs — to be sure, some esoteric — that were important additions to the body of knowledge.

Dr. Gidvani’s 1939 paper on the “Esters and Ether-Esters of Lac and Their Polymerization” is one such example.  the importance of much of this information came to fruition in the growth of industrial usage of shellac as a binder and adhesive.
