Abstract
One form of tribute to a scientist is the utilization of his work to advance technology. This review is to cite the application of Zisman's work to what are perhaps some unusual, or at least unfamiliar, technologies-dental restoratives, hair treatment, shaving and the processing of wastes. I have singled out these few because of personal involvement and recognition of the large contribution of Zisman and co-workers in their advancement and understanding. This, then, is a narrow and personal review of the scientific contributions of William A. Zisman.
