ZHURKOV, SERAFIM NIKOLAEVICH (Physicist) 



S. N. Zhurkov was born May 16, 1905. He graduated in 1929 

 from Voronezh Institute. In 1930 he began working at the 

 Leningrad Physico-Technical Institute and in 1947 became pro- 

 fessor. He has been a member of the Communist Party of the 

 Soviet Union since 1944. In 1958 he was elected a Correspond- 

 ing Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. 



Zhurkov' s main works are the physics of solids and poly- 

 mers. He has carried out research on the strength of brittle 

 materials and polymers, temperature -dependent breakdown, 

 and the duration of action of mechanical stress. Zhurkov con- 

 ducted investigations on the molecular mechanism of transition 

 into a solid state (vitrification) of polymers and amorphous 

 substances, relating the temperature dependence of mechanical 

 properties of such substances to the nature of intermolecular 

 interaction. On the basis of these studies he developed the 

 theory of polymer plastification.
