Abstract
WATSON1,2 has shown that graft polymers may be produced from certain substances of high molecular weight when they are masticated with monomers at ordinary temperatures in a machine in which high shearing forces are developed—the ‘mechano-chemical reaction’. In the present work a laboratory machine of this type, invented by Watson3, has been used to study the possibility of making, from different wheat en products, new substances of possible industrial importance.
