Description: 
This institute has branches in Yerevan and Voronezh. The Yerevan 
Branch has a laboratory of polymerization and synthesis of monomers, which 
has developed KR, a new Nairite-type chloroprene rubber. A continuous 
polymerization installation for Nairite has been established at Yerevan. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy and grants the Candidate's Degree. 
The Institute in Leningrad has among its laboratories the Laboratory of 
Mechanical Testing and the Laboratory of Synthesis of Monomers. 
Rubber-industry competition awards for 1960 were presented to the 
Institute for the synthesis of divinyl-styrene latex to be used for the 
production of textile dyes. In 1959, liquid Nairite won second prize at the 
Ali-Union Chemical Society imeni D. I. Mendeleyev competition. An improved 
technique for producing thiokol type rubber also won an award in 1960. A 
patent was granted for the production technique for cold-resistant polysil- 
oxane rubber. 
In addition, the production of SKI isoprene rubber is a major 
accomplishment by the Institute. Isoprene has been synthesized from 
isopentane. Other rubber-synthesis research has been directed toward 
improved polysiloxane rubbers, SKS-30 (a butadiene-styrene carboxylate 
latex), low-temperature elastomers, and the development of oil-filled rubbers 
with improved properties. 
The Institute has investigated the uses of rubbers as adhesives in 
paints and as corrosion preventives for metal parts. Foam rubber has been 
produced from butadiene-styrene and butadiene-acrylonitrile latexes. Divinyl 
was synthesized from propylene and formaldehyde. Various analysis techniques 
for rubbers have been developed at the Institute. The separation of C5 
hydrocarbon mixtures by extractive rectification has been accomplished.
