History of Science and Engineering Annotation << Back HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF SCIENTIFIC WORKS IN THE FIELD OF PREPARATION AND APPLICATION OF ESTER OILS AND PLASTICIZERS N.N. Mikhailova, E.I. Hasan-zade, R.R. Chanyshev, S.Yu. Shavshukova, S.S. Zlotskii The works of prof. V.Kh. Khamaev and his students on obtaining simple and complex esters are considered. The physicochemical properties of the esters obtained and the possibilities of their use in compositions of synthetic oils and plasticizers of polyvinyl chloride are given. The work of prof. A.K. Mazitova and her collaborators on the creation of effective plasticizers based on butoxyalkylphenoxyalkyl phthalates is analyzed. It is shown that the compositions obtained meet the requirements of the standards in all indicators, and in some exceed the standard samples. Keywords: adipines of oxyethylated or oxypropylated alcohols; butylphenoxyethylthalate; butoxyalkylphenoxyalkylphthalates; esters; esterifi cation; naphthenic acids; plasticizers; polychlorocarboxylic acids; polyvinyl chloride; synthetic oils.
