Abstract:
The invention relates to a porous polymeric monolith based on a polymerised high internal phase emulsion (polyHIPE) which is hypercrosslinked, and to the preparation and use thereof, preferably as gas storage material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to monolithic materials which consist of porous, preferably highly porous, carbon and are suitable, inter alia, for the storage of gases, such as, for example, hydrogen and methane, and for absorptive and adsorptive gas purification.
Abstract:
Process for the production on metal or plastic surfaces of thin, hydrolysis-resistant, scratch-resistant and stain-resistant coatings, wherein the coating material can be applied directly to the cleaned metal surface and subsequently cross-linked by high-energy radiation, in particular UV radiation. The substrates can be coated in the form of strip and only subsequently brought into the required external shape. Coated substrates such as these are no longer susceptible to staining by food, cleaning agents or fingerprints and can also be rendered antibacterial. Objects coated in this manner are thus suitable for use in architecture, for interior fittings of buildings, in furniture-making as well as for ornamental applications, and in particular in households, in sanitary applications, in hospitals and in the food-processing and pharmaceutical industries.
Abstract:
The invention relates to zinc oxide nanoparticles having an average particle size, determined by particle correlation spectroscopy (PCS), in the range from 3 to 20 nm whose particle surface has been modified by means of at least one copolymer comprising at least one monomer containing hydrophobic radicals and at least one monomer containing hydrophilic radicals, dispersed in an organic solvent, characterised in that they are obtainable by a process in which in a step a) one or more precursors of the nanoparticles are converted into the nanoparticles in an alcohol, in a step b) the growth of the nanoparticles is terminated by addition of at least one copolymer comprising at least one monomer containing hydrophobic radicals and at least one monomer containing hydrophilic radicals when the absorption edge in the UV/VIS spectrum of the reaction solution has reached the desired value, and optionally in step c) the alcohol from step a) is removed and replaced by another organic solvent, to isolated particles, and to the use thereof for UV protection in polymers.

Abstract:
The invention relates to nanoparticles, in particular surface-modified nanoparticles, having an average particle size, determined by means of particle correlation spectroscopy (PCS) or transmission electron microscope, in the range from 3 to 50 nm, dispersed in an organic solvent, characterised in that they are obtainable by a process in which one or more precursors of the nanoparticles are reacted with a compound M3−x[O3−xSiR1+x] in an organic solvent to give the nanoparticles, where x stands for an integer selected from 0, 1 or 2, M stands for H, Li, Na or K, and all R each, independently of one another, stand for a branched or unbranched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 28 C atoms, in which one or more C atoms may be replaced by O, and to the use thereof for UV protection in polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an aqueous dispersion comprising at least one polymer and/or oligomer and inorganic surface-modified particles, where the polymer and/or oligomer sheathes the inorganic particles having a modified surface, to dispersions prepared using the process, and to the use thereof in paint or coating systems and as adhesives or sealants.
Abstract:
A method is provided for producing a smart card comprising a chip module with at least one contacting area, the chip module arrangeable in a mounting location of a substrate, wherein one contacting loop is formed from a wire connector fed by a wire guiding unit for at least one of the contacting areas, respectively by attaching a first section of the wire conductor to a surface of the substrate outside the mounting location, wherein a second section of the wire conductor proximate to the first section is guided to form the contacting loop along with and protruding from the surface, wherein a subsequent third section of the wire conductor is attached to the surface outside the mounting location, wherein the chip module is inserted into the mounting location and wherein the second section is bent over and electrically contacted to the contacting area.
