_ Could" cyanoèthylatipg change your plans for Τ ^ 1

tomorrow?

• Ç * ^ ,

Ihe challenge is getting top priority in lab­oratories across the country.

Since acrylonitrile will react with almost any organic or inorganic compound contain­ing a labile hydrogen atom, chemists have been exploring the application of cyanoethyl-ation to proteinaceous polymers.

By replacing the imide hydrogen in the grouping—CONH—with a cyanoethyl group, it is possible wool can be made mothproof.

I t is possible silk can be made rotproof. I t is possible fish scrap and dried blood

can be upgraded to fermentation-resistant adhesives.

I t is possible adhesives can be made less susceptible to moisture softening.

Scientists are trying to fathom the possi­bilities t ha t cyanoethylation may hold in these and many other fields.

Technical data bulletin on acrylonitrile and laboratory-size samples are available. Wri te on your let terhead to Monsanto Chemical Company, P las t i c s Division, Room 9 64 , Springfield 2, Mass.
