Abstract
IN a communication in Nature of February 10, Plomley, Higgins and Hayes describe the dependence of viscosity and rate of gelation on pH. Their results are in general agreement with those obtained in this laboratory for lactic casein and denatured peanut protein spinning dopes; dopes to be spun into fibres must obviously have considerable stability to allow time for filtration and de-aeration.
