摘要

I feel obliged to begin this column by relating an embarrassing incident. Several years ago, a student came into my office with a standard No. 2 lead pencil—I don't remember the brand, but it had the usual hexagonal shape and yellow paint. He asked if I could please identify the wood. I pulled out my penknife to smooth an end for viewing with my hand lens. I could see a porous structure, but was having difficulty even placing it into a softwood or hardwood category. The student sat patiently with a placid expression while I struggled on. After about five minutes—just as I was about to postpone my agony by suggesting I might have to conduct a more rigorous analysis with a microscope—I noticed that the pencil had a bit more flex than I associate with wooden pencils. I quickly lit an alcohol lamp and held the pencil over the flame for a few seconds. Sure enough, it began to bend: it was a thermoplastic resin replica of a wood pencil.
