Published articles describe research work at the Institute on 
the electrolytic extraction of gallium from aluminate solutions obtained 
during treatment of nephelinic syenites. 
The Institute has developed a method of producing from stone 
a glass-type fiber that has superior electrical-insulation characteristics, 
high heat stability, high tensile strength, and low hygroscopicity. In 
this area, the Institute is receiving assistance from the All-Union 
Secientific-Research Institute of Glass Fibers. Research work is being 
continued on the technical and economic aspects of producing "glass 
fiber" from different species of rock.

Description: 
This institute was organized in 1958 under the Urals Branch, 
Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R. from the Chemistry Division of the Institute 
of Chemistry and Metallurgy. In 1961, the Institute was transferred to 
its current affiliation. Research at the Institute has been primarily in 
polymer chemistry, especially copolymerization of unsaturated polyesters 
with vinyl and allyl monomers. Work has also been done on the determina- 
tion and separation of gallium and titanium. It publishes a Trudy.
