Load. z\ hrs LOAD. g<;HRS\ As will be seen, there is a marked accelerationin the rate of cure of the rubber to which thean»robically decomposed casein has been added,demonstrating the formation of an acceleratingagent or catalyst from the casein, which itself,under the conditions of employed, had noeffect on the rate of cure. Both samples 150 Band 150 C are very much over-cured at 3i houisand quite brittle. Experiment 17.—Fiutlier supplies of <asein andpeptone were obtained and tlie previous experi-meutii all repeated and controlled in one experi-ment. The following series was prejiared :— 178 A.
