Resinography is a strange new word to many people. Like all
scientific terms, it is a word coined for a specific purpose: to
indicate (in this case) that resins, polymers, and plastics write
their own history on the molecular and other structural levels. The
word indicates further that anyone trained and equipped to ask the
right questions (by means of instruments and techniques) will be
able to read that history. That person must have sufficient
training and experience to interpret the answers, of course, and he
or she needs to have the temperament of a detective. But in the
end, as readers of this book will discover, one is able to identify
the material, to determine its history of treatment, and to learn
much about its possible field of usefulness. Obviously, the
resinographer seeks to do the same thing with res ins, polymers,
and plastics that the metallographer does with metals and their
alloys. Often the investigative techniques and the instru ments,
too, are similar, but sometimes they are decidedly different.
Perhaps it would be best to say that resinography and
metallographyl (and petrography as well) share a common origin, and
that origin is deeply rooted in microscopy. The "grandfather" of
all three "ographies" was Henry Clifton Sorby (1826-1908),2 who
initiated 3 metallography and petrography, and was the first to
report on the microstructure of a resin (amber, a natural fossil
resin)."
