processes for cementing, varnishing, glueing, etc.; complex compounds of 
transuranium elements; methods and application of electron microscopy to 
physical-chemical research; and data on the composition of lubricants used in 
press working metals. 
Typical research work and types of equipment developed here include 
apparatus to measure continuously rates of liquid flow in chromatographic 
colums; fuel cells for supplying small amounts of electric current; a new 
adsorption method for determining the structure of protective films on 
metals; a laboratory cryostat for temperatures to -40 C; isotope tracer 
methods to investigate adsorption of gases on semiconductor and metal 
catalysts; a microfurnace for microscopic studies of metal oxidation; a 
device for measuring the coefficient of static friction of plastics up to 
8,500 psi; an instrument to reduce the exposure time in high-speed photo- 
graphy; devices to study the atmospheric corrosion of metals and to study 
the corrosion of metals by aggressive media in irradiated systems (nuclear 
reactors); a flow ultramicroscope to count aerosol particles automatically . 
(dust content of air); oxidation of ethane and methane by photochemical 
sensitization with mercury or using ozone as the oxidant; and use of slow 
radiation from nuclear reactors for ultrastrong welding of fluorine- 
containing polymers. 
The Institute has collaborated with other institutes in the develop- 
ment of corroSion-resistant steels for chemical-industry equipment. It has 
also developed special apparatus to withstand heavy radiation doses, to 
assist other groups in investigating the radiation stability of ion-exchange 
resins. In 1961, the Institute was involved with other organizations in an 
investigation of the structure of materials used in the hardening process 
for water-glass mixtures.
