Abstract
REHBINDER and his colleagues have recorded in a series of papers1 that surface-active liquids, brought into contact with the surface of metals, in particular of single crystals, markedly diminish the mechanical strength. In Nature recently2, D. S. Kemsley, trying to obtain the effect, described experiments on single crystals of tin which gave negative results throughout. When noted research workers obtain completely different results, it seems likely that certain differences in conditions must be responsible.
