significance for the development of the theory of flotation of 

 minerals. He has also studied the processes of dispersion and 

 formation of a new crystalline phase and applied these to thix- 

 otropy, and to setting and hardening of cements, to the stabili- 

 zation of foams, emulsions and suspensions, and to phase 

 changes in emulsions. He investigated the mechanical proper- 

 ties of rheological systems and established the effect of small 

 additions of adsorbing substances. Rebinder has indicated 

 deformations can be eased and the mechanical stability of 

 solids (in particular metals) can be lowered by adsorbing sub- 

 stances. This phenomenon is of particular significance for 

 creep and fatigue breakdown of solids. This work of Rebinder 

 has found application in a number of technological processes 

 such as boring in solid rocks, grinding of the hard materials, 

 and pressure processing and cutting of metals.
