Description: 
The Karpov Institute, one of the leading Soviet scientific-research 
organizations, was founded in 1918 by L. Ya. Karpov, a chemical engineer who 
died in 1921. This institute conducts research in many fields of chemistry, 
with emphasis appearing to be on ionic polymerization, crystalline structure 
of polymers, radiation chemistry, and the synthesis of radioactive materials. 
Work on complex compounds and in physical, electro-, and colloid chemistry 
is done here. Research on products of hexogen detonation, the radiation of 
fluoro-olefins, the dissociation of large molecules by electron impact, 
investigation of hard alloys, and the corrosion of metals show the variety 
of interests and work here. Many of the laboratories of the Institute have 
become independent institutes. Advanced degrees have been conferred since 
1931.
