DOLGOPLOSK, BORIS ALEKSANDROVICH (Organic Chemist) 



B. A. Dolgoplosk was born November 12, 1905. He graduated 

 in 1931 from Moscow University. In 1932-46 he worked at syn- 

 thetic rubber plants. He taught at the Yaroslavl' Technological 

 Institute in 1944-46 and in 1945 became professor there. In 

 1946 he began work in the AU-Union Scientific Research Insti- 

 tute of Synthetic Rubber and also, in 1948, at the Institute of 

 High Molecular Compounds of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 

 Dolgoplosk has been a member of the Communist Party of the 

 Soviet Union since 1945. He was elected in 1958 a Correspond- 

 ing Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. In 1941 and 

 1949 he received Stalin Prizes and in 1947 the S. V. Lebedev 

 Prize. 



Dolgoplosk has studied the polymerization processes and 

 their practical application. He investigated the initiation of 

 radical processes under the influence of oxidizing-reducing 

 reactions. He also studied reactions of free radicals in so- 

 lutions, the determination of the connection between the struc- 

 ture of the radicals and their relative reaction ability, and the 

 determination of the mechanism of initiating and inhibiting 

 radical processes. In catalytic polymerization, Dolgoplosk 

 ascertained the role of complex formation during polymerization 

 under the influence of lithium - organic compounds. Dolgoplosk 

 conducted a series of investigations on the connection between 

 the structure and the properties of rubber and developed 

 methods of obtaining new types of rubber. He completed work 

 on the synthesis of carboxylic rubber, obtaining from it proper- 

 ties close to those of natural rubber.
