The results are given for studying the coal tar carbonaceous dispersed phase with a number of microscopes of various principles of operation. High trend is shown for the dispersed particles to form stabile aggregates and to adsorb other tar compounds on their surface. The conclusion is made that the selective extraction of the dispersed phase from the coal tar is fundamentally impossible. The well-founded hypothesis is expressed about the technological practicability of the tar dispersed phase aggregates destruction for the quality upgrading of the tar-based products.

The melting behavior of polypropylenes of different chemical structure (isotactic homopolypropylene, propylene-based block and random copolymers and maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene) was studied by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and optical microscopy. Melting behavior and the crystal structure of polypropylene and its copolymers were observed depending on the crystallization rate, chemical nature of co-monomer unites and regularity of co-monomer units arrangement in the polypropylene main chain.
