_ Could" cyanoèthylatipg change your plans for Τ ^ 1 tomorrow?

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 cyanoethylation 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 h a t cyanoethylation may hold in these and many other fields. Technical data bulletin on acrylonitrile and laboratory-size samples are available.
