Abstract

In the UK the intenvar years brought a new liaison between industry and academia. One initiative by Imperial Chemical Industries Ltd (ICI) was their Research Council which was intended to forge new relationships. One of the principal recipients of funding was the University of London's University College. The progress of the collaboration to produce a detergent suitable for use with hard water is traced. The problems experienced seem largely connected with the differing time-scales of industry and academia as well as differences in research policy between ICI headquarters and its groups. ICI felt that it was doing the job of other bodies, such as the government Department of Scientific and Industrial Research. Copyright , Beech Tree Publishing.
