Methyl a-cyanoacrylate, when implanted subcutaneously in rats and dogs, has been shown to lead to an inrrease in thiocyanate output in the wine, presumably through the formation of cyanide anions which are subsequently converted to thiocyanate. It is postulated that this reaction may be one of the r

โฆ Synopsis
Methyl 2-cyanoacrylate-2-l4C, -3-*4c and -1CN tagged monomers were im planted subcutaneously in mongrel dogs and their urine assayed for radioactivity. The results show that the urea from the -3-14C was radioactive and radioactive acidic components, as well as neutral moieties, were present. Urea recovered from the urine of animals in which the -2-14C and -14CN methyl 2-cyanoacrylate were implanted was only very slightly radioactive. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that hydrolytic chain scission and ester hydrolysis may be involved in t,he degradation of 2-cyanoacrylates in vivo.

## Synopsis I n order to study structure-tissue reactivity relationships arid ultimately develop a less necrotizing adhesive, this laboratory undertook a study of the synthesis and degradation of the homologous series of a-cyanoacrylate monomers and polymers. A method for synthesizing high purity
The present study deals with the influence of the molecular weight and the type of poly(alkyl ct-cyanoacrylate), the presence of various types of basic or acidic substances and diffusion on the thermal degradation of the polymers. Dynamic thermogravimetric analysis was used for evaluation of the rea
