New testing instruments have been designed for measuring creep, 
fatigue, and compression. Molding equipment has also been designed, con- 
structed, and tested. 
The effects of various environments have been determined. Frost, 
ozone, low-temperature, radiation, elevated-temperature, and moisture effects 
have been determined for a number of rubber formulations. 
Crosslinking, structural changes, and sealing properties have been 
studied. The Leningrad Branch has been active in studying the low-temperature 
sealing properties of rubber. The Sverdlovsk Branch has conducted research 
on dimensional changes in rubber-metal parts. 
The Institute publishes a Trudy.
