KQROTKOV, ALEKSEI ANDREEVICH (Organic Chemist) 



A. A. Korotov was born February 25, 1910. He graduated in 

 1938 from the Leningrad Chemico-Technological Institute. 

 From 1931-45 he worked in synthetic rubber plants. In 1945 he 

 began working at the All- Union Scientific Research Institute of 

 Synthetic Rubber and in 1953 at the Institute of High Molecular 

 Compounds of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. Korotov has 

 been a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union 

 since 1942. In 1958 he became a Corresponding Member of the 

 U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 



Korotkov is concerned with reprocessing by-products from 

 production of synthetic rubber, synthesis based on ethylene 

 oxide, the study of production of isoprene, and the catalytic 

 polymerization of vinyl compounds and bi -ethylene hydro- 

 carbons. He worked out a method for obtaining a polyisoprene 

 synthetic rubber, with properties similar to those of natural 

 rubber.
