VASILII FEDOROVICH YEVSTRATOV* (On his 70th birthday) Vamhi Fedorovlch Yevstratov, eminent Sex let Scientist m the field of elastomers and processing elastomers into high grade products, Corresp. Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Scmnces, was 70 years old on 12 February 1978. Tile development of scmntffie investigations in the field of introducing synthetic rubber, developing the raw maternal base of the type industry, estabhshmg principles for formulating t y r e rubber and m the field of chemmtry and physms of rubber, the wear mechamsm and fatigue strength of rubber and engineering mechamcs of rubber are all associated with the name of V. F. Yevstratov. V. F. Yevstratov, one of the outstanding pupils and compamons of Acad. Serge1 Vasfl'yevmh Lebedev, was at the source of creating and introducing synthetic rubber m industry. He took a considerable part m the outstanding achmvements of the U.S.S.R. in the field of introducing synthetm rubber not only without any detmment to the q u a h t y of tyros, but also i m p r o w n g operatmnal properties. F r o m the first days of orgamzing the Semntific Research Institute of the Tyre I n d u s t r y V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v played an active part and joined the i m p o r t an t group of scmntmts engaged in solving complex problems of techmcal development. Un d er the gmdance of V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v the modern semntifie school of semntmts was founded who worked m the field of theory of ealeulatmn and methods of designing tyres, frictional wear, study of the operatmn of m d l w d u a l tyre elements, developmg the principles of designing tyre rubber with a given complex of propertms. As a result it became possible to solve the problems raised on a scmntifie barns. Under the scientific gmdance of V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v a complex of studms was earrmd out to develop high-grade dmgonal tyres. Thin made it possible to increase tyre hfe considerably a n d f u l f l successfully the seven year plan. F a r the success in the field of developing tyres of improved quality and introducing t h e m m industry V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v was awarded the Government (1950) and Lemn (1967) prizes. A significant volume of work was carrmd out b y V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v as one of the scmntlfie leaders of studies concerning the development of radml tyres. Development of the tyre industry w~th an orientatmn to produce chiefly radml tyres has been a general trend for m a n y years and m reflected m future plans of development of the natmnal economy. A special feature of studies earrmd out by V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v is the tugh level of results of successful introduction in industry, which is due to the extensive involvement of semntists m tyre factories in thin complex of studms at the stage of introduction. V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v invariably strives to increase the semntific level of investigations, is a determi,_~ed propagandmt of accelerated rates of scmntific and technical progress m the tyre and related fields of industry. I.~ 1970 V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v was elected Corr. Member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Semnces and calrics out active work m the Academy; he is a member of the Scmntifie Council of High Molecular Weight Compounds, U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences, a member of the Scientffie Council engaged in ~he use of Polymer Materials m the National Economy, the State Committee of the U.S.S.R. Council of Ministers on Science and Technology. V. F. Y e v s t r a t o v carries out significant scmntlfic and teaching work; he is a Proies~or of the F acu l t y of Rubber * Vysokomol. soyed.
