the Germans were the first ones to develop this technolgy before WWII. Even though un-economic it was intended to give them strategic flexibility in event of supply cutoff during war.

Luckily, the Chinese aren't planning on embarking on aggression like the Nazis.

Good-on-you, glor! The Krauts had indeed created an emulsion of pulverized-coal in the '30s that could be used in many applications.

They also did most of the R&D on the plastics that we use today, between the wars.

Unfortunately, war seems to prod technology, but being a plastics-man, I ain't bitchin' about it. Stay well and vigilant............FRegards
