Research at the ISPM mainly focuses on the creation of fundamentally novel polymer materials and composites and the development of technologies for producing them. In recent years, the institute has: · developed models for a process of high-temperature multiple fragmentation of multi-component polymer systems models important in the creation of new environmentally safe technologies for producing composite polymer materials; · discovered a "macromolecule-particle" and devised fundamentally new methods for synthesizing dendrimer and superbranched organosilicate macromolecules-a new class of functional polymer structures with broad applications; · developed principles for creating heavily loaded systems that efficiently absorb electromagnetic radiation in the super highfrequency spectn~m; and · developed a technology for producing a wide range of composite materials using secondary polymer materials, including composites with flame-resistant properties.

Instead, the end results of scientific research were passed on to the industrial scientific production centers, which had their own experimental production bases to conduct testing and design work and to develop concepts to the level of industrial technology demonstration projects, at which point the finished technologies were handed off to industry. With the process from scientific development to industrial production organized in this manner, the question of property rights to newly created scientific products did not arise as the results of the work of all those involved in the process belonged to the state.

Financing under the third option, commercialization of scientific developments, is potentially the most significant for RAS institutes. To a large extent, such financing can and should be directed toward the support of basic scientific research, thereby creating material incentives for industrially oriented development work.

To ensure a high level of leadership for scientific research, these manager are periodically certified and must be re-elected (usually terms are five years)

The scientific developments considered below were the result of a comprehensive program of basic scientific research, planned in the late 1980s, on "Environmentally Safe Chemical Processes and Technologies." Research areas were chosen by the ISPM scientific collective under the leadership of Academician N.S. Yenikolopov.

One possible solution to this problem might be for the state to support the network of collective-use centers created recently by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research to facilitate work on grants for basic experimental research. Such centers make it possible to use unique and expensive research equipment under favorable terms to work on scientific projects financed by the state budget.

Existing patent legislation makes it possible for the parties to settle issues of intellectual property rights. However, monitoring and enforcement of agreements have not yet been fully established, nor has a mechanism for realizing the rights of intellectual property owners.

to facilitate long-range planning of scientific research; creation of a network of state (or international) centers in Russia to study market demand in the most important sectors of industrial production; · state support for the network of collective-use centers recently created by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research to facilitate work on grants for basic experimental research; and immediate adoption of the Law on Inventions Made in the Course of Employment and changes in the Patent Law on State Ownership Rights to Intellectual Property.
