Abstract:
Nickel complexes containing ortho- or para-hydroxybenzoate anions and a non-ionic amine ligand are valuable light-stabilizers for polymers, particularly for polyolefins. The complexes may also contain a second carboxylate anion, different from the benzoate anion, and in this case also the amine-free nickel compounds show a high stabilizing action.
Abstract:
An apparatus for continual gluing of wood chips includes a cylindrical mixture container, and a mixing shaft arranged within the container and substantially coaxially to a mixture ring of wood chips to be formed in the container. At least one glue supply pipe extends from the outside into the mixing chamber, ending with its outlet opening in the container. Each outlet opening lies in the surface of the inner wall of the mixing container. Glue is fed under substantially zero pressure to the outlet opening or openings. Wood chips in the outer periphery of the mixture ring serve to transport glue from the openings to the mixture ring.
Abstract:
4-Siloxy-derivatives of sterically hindered piperidines are good light-stabilizers for organic polymers, especially for polyolefins. The stabilizers are added in an amount of from 0.01 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.02 to 1% by weight based on the polymer. The new compounds are obtainable by O-silylation of the corresponding 4-hydroxypiperidines.

Abstract:
The incorporation of sterically hindered piperidine derivatives into polyurethanes protects this polymer material against light degradation. Usable for the incorporation are piperidine derivatives which are at least difunctional towards isocyanates and contain the structure ##STR1## wherein R is hydrogen or alkyl having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing self-crosslinking polyurethane dispersions by I) reacting a1) polyisocyanates with a2) at least one hydroxyl component having an average OH functionality of ≧2 and a number average molecular weight of 62 to 2500 g/mol, wherein the hydroxyl component contains at least one acid-functional compound containing at least one isocyanate-reactive group, to form an NCO-functional and optionally OH-functional prepolymer, II) then reacting the NCO-functional and optionally OH-functional prepolymer with a3) a hydroxyl component having an average OH functionality of >1 and a4) optionally another polyisocyanate component, which may be the same as or different from a1), to form an OH-functional and NCO-free polyurethane, III) adding a blocked polyisocyanate either before, during or after the reaction of steps I) and II), or forming a blocked polyisocyanate in situ from a polyisocyanate and a blocking agent after the reaction of step II) has taken place, IV) neutralizing the acid groups of the resulting composition by adding a5) a neutralizing agent, and V) dispersing the resulting composition in water. The present invention also relates to the dispersions prepared by the present invention and to their use in coating, adhesive and sealant compositions.
Abstract:
A particle beam device, in particular an electron microscope, having at least two particle beam columns and one object slide having a receiving surface for receiving an object. The particle beam device makes it possible to align the surface of the object perpendicular to the beam axes of the particle beam columns, using simple means, in an accurate and error-free manner. The object slide assumes a basic position from which it may be tilted into the position in which the first or the second beam axis is perpendicular or at least almost perpendicular to the receiving surface of the object slide. In the basic position, a normal to the receiving surface of the object slide is spatially oriented such that an angle formed between the first beam axis and the normal is greater than or equal to an angle formed between the second beam axis and the normal.
Abstract:
Apparatus for transmitting torque between the output shaft of the engine and the input shaft of the transmission in a motor vehicle has a fluid coupling with a housing secured to the output shaft and containing an impeller, a runner and, if necessary, a guide wheel. The runner is connected to a hub on the input shaft by a carrier for a torsionally elastic damper having coil springs which receive torque from the housing. The damper is in series with a clutch which can be operated to bypass the fluid coupling.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to a process for the stabilization of Holograms formed on gelatin. According to the invention, after (i) exposing, (ii) developing, and (iii) quenching said Hologram, there is added thereto (iv) a bleaching bath based on an oxidative cross-linking agent at a pH value of at least 3 or more, and thereafter, following (v) rinsing, (vi) fixing, (vii) additional rinsing and (viii) a final bath, (ix) said support material is dehydrated by the use of one or more baths in series containing a solvent which is water-miscible and does not affect the cured gelatin structure. In another embodiment, the invention pertains to light-directing wall elements for buildings made of a Holograms obtainable by the process mentioned above and applied to a transparent or opaque substrate. By means of the present invention, silver-free holographic support materials can be prepared.
