Abstract
DR. R. A. JOYNER lost his life as the result of an accident on Wednesday, October 7, through an explosion in the research laboratories of Messrs. Nobel's Explosives Co., Ltd. Dr. Joyner studied at University College, Bristol, taking a London degree with honours in chemistry in 1909, followed by the M.Sc. degree of the newly founded University of Bristol in 1910. His work during this period is recorded in three papers on amalgams of silver and tin published in the Journal of the Chemical Society. These exhibit his careful and thorough experimentation and stand unaltered. They form the accepted basis of the treatment of dental amalgams in modern courses on dental metallurgy.
