Description: 
VNIISV is an outgrowth of earlier institutes. In 1922, the first 
research institutes for glass were combined into the Institute of Silicates. 
In 1930, this institute was split into two: an institute for glass and an 
institute for ceramics. Later, possibly in 1943, the All-Union Institute 
of Glass Fiber was formed from the Ail-Union Institute of Glass. It is 
known to have a Physical-Chemical Laboratory. 
This institute studies all phases of the technology of glass 
fibers. It cooperates with other institutes and with factories on problems 
involving glass fibers. Examples of glass-fiber research are: 
(1) Effect of chemical agents on glass fibers 
(2) Adsorption of impurities on glass fibers and its effect on 
physical properties 
(3) Development of heat-resistant glass fibers 
(4) Development of ultra-fine glass fibers 
(5) Development of apparatus and control instruments for glass- 
fiber production. 
Nauchno-Issledovatel'skiy Trudy is published by the Institute.
