All the information mot appeared in Q&tN last year is at your fingertips with the
C&EN INDEX Annual 1977 Whether you are interested in wide coverage of a general topic or just a brief letter to the editor—if C&EN published it last year, you will find it listed in this comprehensive index. Consider a broad field such as fibers, for example: under that listing you will find research (acrylonitile outlook promising); development (rayon fibers gather new interest with technological improvements); business (DuPont sales in Europe top $1 billion); international news (Yugoslavia's polyester fiber plant operational) and twenty more listings! Most of them cross-indexed to be found easily under other headings, too. In addition, you II find information on many other broad fields—grants, health, OSHA, and so on—many with 50 or more listings! Individual topics, too—ovonic modification, kerogen, bathing caps. Legislation, research, economics, processing . . . whatever aspect of the subject you want to know a b o u t . . . you will find it quickly and easily. Just published, this comprehensive, useful index is available paperbound or in microfiche . . . $25.00.

GAS PAINS! Let Rapid Curing Flash Polymerization be the answer* Most gas oven users find it hard to believe how quickly and efficiently we can replace their ovens with Xenon's flash polymerization technique. And they don't even need to add a UV initiator to their material. Maybe you've been skeptical too, but Xenon can make a believer out of you. If you're still using large, bulky, slow curing, gas eating ovens, then you re living in the dark ages. Let us show you the light at the end of that tunnel.
Special Issues Sales American Chemical Society 1155 Sixteenth Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036
Think about it: Your competitors may already have seen the light. Why not get started with our RC 4000; Xenon Corporation's third generation flash polymerization laboratory curing system. Maybe your competition is already using the RC 4000. In that case, you're further in the dark than you think.

AddTYZOR to improve the crosslinking that improves your product. If you are working with resins containing active hydrogens, Du Pont TYZORR organic titanates can provide the crosslinking key that improves your products properties. Hardness, solvent resistance, electrical characteristics, or heat resistance are examples. There's a wide variety of applications for TYZOR. Printing inks, paints, coatings and gels are some of them. The seven high-purity TYZOR products are non-corrosive and excellent for a broad range of reactivity. Waterstable chelated forms are also available. Find out what our TYZOR organic titanates can do for your product. Send for our 48-page technical brochure. Du Pont Company, Room 35688 Wilmington, DE 19898
