Abstract:
Provided are a vinyl ether polymer which can exert temperature responsiveness even in the case of being supported on a highly hydrophobic fibrous substrate, an agent for controlling hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity containing the polymer, a method for controlling hydrophilicity and the hydrophobicity using the polymer, and a polymer-substrate composite having the polymer supported on a substrate. A star-shaped vinyl ether polymer which includes a central core and an arm portion bonded to the central core and in which the arm portion includes a repeating unit derived from a vinyl ether monomer and a structure represented by the following Formula (1) is included in the molecule: €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ-Y-Ar 1 -N=N-Ar 2 €ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ€ƒ(1) i in which Y represents an ether bond, a thioether bond, a group -NH-, or a group -OR 1 -* (R 1 represents an alkylene group, * represents a position bonded to Ar 1 in Formula (1)), Ar 1 represents a substituted or unsubstituted divalent aromatic hydrocarbon group, and Ar 2 represents a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent aromatic hydrocarbon group].
Abstract:
Fibers with crystallization seeds attached to its surface, method of making such composite fibers by surface treatment of fibers followed by either treating such fibers with premade crystallization seeds or by precipitation and direct crystallization of seeds onto pretreated fibers. Controlling and tuning the properties of inorganic binder compositions with fiber- bound crystallization seeds and thereby generating inorganic binder compositions with tailor-made characteristics.

Abstract:
The invention describes compositions solid at 21°C for the finishing of nonwovens, comprising
a) 5 to 70% by weight of a component melting in the range from 25 to 37°C, chosen from the group of synthetic waxes, paraffins, fatty acid esters, polyhydroxy fatty acid esters, fatty alcohols, alkoxylated fatty acid esters, alkoxylated fatty alcohols and mixtures of these compounds and b) 5 to 70% by weight of a component whose melting point is at least 5°C higher than the melting point of component a), and component b) is chosen from the group of polyhydroxy fatty acid esters, C14 fatty alcohols, C12 fatty acids, the alkoxylated derivatives of the fatty alcohols and fatty esters, and mixtures of these components, where the compositions additionally comprise as component c) 5 to 25% by weight of a crystallisation accelerator chosen from the group of partial glycerides, ethylene glycol diesters and polymeric waxes, with the proviso, that the crystallisation accelerator has a melting point in the range from 45 to 70°C, and the compositions comprise less than 5% by weight of water.
