... There was a time when the electrical industr~t constituted a major outlet for synthetic plastics and provided strong stimulus for the development ·of new plastics In fact' much of the drive for the development of polystyrene in this country came from the fact that this material was an outstanding dielectric substance which.should demand considerable use in the electrical industry. It is aifficult,to tell...~hat fraction of current polystyrene production finds its ultimate use in the,-electrica1 ~.ndustry9 but the fraction must be small.
