When wool fibres are impregnated with a dilute solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate and then treated with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and methacrylamide in an atmosphere of nitrogen at 50°c, internal deposition of polymer takes place extremely slowly and reproducible results are difficult to obtain 1 . Those difficulties seem to be due to reaction between hydrogen peroxide and the monomer during uncontrolled times of standing before addition to the wool, because more rapid and reproducible deposition of polymer has now been realised simply by adding the solution of methacrylamide to the impregnated wool before the hydrogen peroxide.
