Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing modified zinc oxide nanoparticles, characterized in that the zinc oxide nanoparticles, which are dissolved in a solvent, are reacted in the presence of ammonia or amines with a tetraalkyl-orthosilicate, and optionally with an organosilane, under the proviso that the reaction takes place at a content of less than 5% by weight water, relative to the total quantity of solvent and water. Said production method can be used to obtain modified zinc oxide nanoparticles, which comprise Si-O-alkyl groups and can be solved in organic solvents. In addition, liquid or solid formulations containing modified ZnO nanoparticles can be obtained. Inanimate organic materials, such as plastics or paints, containing modified ZnO nanoparticles may also be obtained. The invention further relates to a method for stabilizing inanimate organic materials against the effects of light, radicals or heat, wherein modified ZnO nanoparticles, which optionally comprise UV absorbers and/or stabilizers as further additives, are added to the materials.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing modified ZnO particles in which a zinc salt and a base are mixed in a polar solvent and the polar solvent is optionally removed after precipitation of a precipitation product, resulting in a residue, wherein the residue is absorbed in a non-polar solvent, surface active substances are added, other active substances are optionally added and then the modified ZnO particles are separated from other byproducts. The invention also relates to materials such as plastics, varnishes or paints containing modified ZnO particles. The invention also relates to a method for incorporating modified ZnO particles into materials, wherein the modified ZnO particles are incorporated into the materials in the form of dispersions or suspensions, and to the use of modified ZnO particles for protecting materials against the effects of light, heat, oxygen or radicals, as catalysts, for semiconducting layers or for cosmetic uses.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions containing polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups. In particular, it relates to the use of polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups in personal care compositions and/or in biocide compositions.
