Description: 
The Institute has investigated various types of materials for 
insulating cables, including polyethylene, polymethane, polyamide resins, 
epoxy compounds, and rubber. The electrical properties of polyvinyl chloride, 
its preparation, and mechanical properties have been investigated. Poly- 
ethylene has been studied as a porous insulating material. The thermal- 
stability properties of irradiated polyethylene have been investigated. 
Modernization projects for a 16-spool winding machine, a wire- 
sheathing machine for well-logging cables, and other equipment have recently 
been completed. 
The Tashkent Branch produces flexible cable. Investigations by 
branch staff members have centered around rubber insulation. Radioactive- 
sulfur-isotope techniques have been developed for determining the distribution 
of rubber insulation on cables. 
The Tomsk Branch has investigated the mechanical properties of free- 
flowing material used for rubber in cables. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
