149 KARGIN 



Kargin's fields of scientific work are colloidal chemistry 

 and chemistry of high-molecular compounds. He has developed 

 methods of purification of substances, investigated the for- 

 mation and properties of alumino- silicates, and worked on the 

 coagulation and stabilization of hydrophobic colloids. He studied 

 the formation of colloidal particles in solutions. He applied 

 these results to the study of the ion exchange in soils, working 

 out a method of strengthening water soaked sand. In his 

 thermodynamic studies Kargin and his associates showed that 

 polymer solutions are true solutions, and determined the sorb- 

 tive properties of polymers. He has investigated the nature of 

 the phase condition of polymers and their mechanical and rheo- 

 logical properties. The results of these investigations are 

 widely applied in the synthetic fiber, plastics, rubber and 

 paper industries. 



In June 1958, Kargin visited the United States to attend the 

 Gordon Research Conference on Polymer Research at New 

 London, New Hampshire. He has also attended the Pugwash 

 Conferences.
