This annotated bibliography was prepared as a guide to the literature, 1937 to 1952, pertaining to sintering of refractory oxides. It includes the theories proposed for the mechanism of sintering and much of the work on which these theories are based. Due to the limited and scattered nature of the work reported, subject classification has not been made, but the abstracts are listed alphabetically by author.

This supplement to the original bibliography includes citations and abstracts for much of the technical literature published during the years 1952-1955 pertaining to the sintering mechanism of refractory oxides. As in the original bibliography, many of the abstracts have been taken directly from the abstracting journals or from the original abstract by the respective authors.

This second supplement to the original bibliography includes citations and abstracts for much of the literature published between the years 1955 and 1959 pertaining to sintering mechanisms of the refractory oxides. As in the original bibliography, many of the abstracts have been taken directly from the abstracting journals and when available, the author's abstract has been quoted.
