C.

Abstract: Photopolymerizable recording materials which are suitable for the production of photoresist layers, and contain one or more thermoplastic vinyl polymers as the binder, one or more low molecular weight, ethylenically unsaturated, photopolymerizable compounds and one or more photoinitiators, with or without other, conventional additives and/or assistants, have excellent adhesion to metallic substrate surfaces if the binder employed is a vinyl polymer which possesses amino and/or imino groups.

Abstract: To transfer a toner image from a toner-treated surface, a toner transfer film is employed, which comprises a transparent base carrying a transparent layer which is capable of picking up toner and has a temporary slight surface tack, the layer consisting of a mixture containing a polymeric and/or pre-polymeric binder, a polymerizable low molecular weight compound and a polymerization initiator. After transfer, the toner image can be permanently fixed to the toner transfer film by heating the film and/or exposing it to light.

Abstract: A photopolymerizable recording material for the production of relief plates comprises a photopolymerizable layer which can be developed in an alcoholic solution and contains a mixture of a photoinitiator, a photopolymerizable monomer and a linear, high molecular weight polyurethane which possesses activated double bonds in side branches, and is prepared using a polyether-diol from the group comprising the polyethylene glycols, propylene glycols and ethylene glycol/propylene glycol co-condensates.

Abstract: An electrophotographic recording medium which consists essentially of an electrically conductive base and a photosemiconductive double layer which comprises a first layer containing charge carrier-producing dyes, and a second layer containing one or more compounds which are charge carrier-transporting when exposed to light, wherein the charge carrier-producing dyes are those of the general formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each hydrogen or a non-ionic substituent, X and Y are each the radical of a methylene-active compound, or of an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic amine or hydrazine, and Z is hydrogen, methyl or phenyl, and the production of this recording medium.

Abstract: A photopolymerizable recording material for the preparation of relief plates comprises a base and a photopolymerizable layer, which layer contains, as the binder, a substantially linear, high molecular weight, thermoplastic diisocyanate-modified nylon which is solid at room temperature and which possesses quaternary and/or quaternizable nitrogen atoms and also possesses photopolymerizable double bonds in side branches.

Abstract: A process for the preparation of acetylene copolymers by catalytic polymerization of a mixture of acetylene and dialkynes or polyalkynes, using Ziegler catalysts. The novel polymers may be used as colored pigments, as colored coatings for metal, glass or plastics, and for the production of electrical or magnetic components.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of nylons by heating an aqueous solution of a salt of an alkanedicarboxylic acid of 6 to 12 carbon atoms and a diamine of the formula NH.sub.2 RNH.sub.2, where R is alkylene of 6 to 12 carbon atoms or is a radical ##STR1## to a temperature at which a nylon is formed, under superatmospheric pressure and with removal of water. The solution used is an aqueous solution of from 75 to 90 percent strength by weight of a salt of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine, which solution has been obtained by neutralizing a less concentrated salt solution, which contains an appropriate dissolved excess of the particular dicarboxylic acid, with the corresponding diamine. The nylons obtained are used for the manufacture of moldings.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of a highly concentrated aqueous solution of a salt of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine, as well as of a nylon precondensate, by reacting an alkanedicarboxylic acid of 6 to 12 carbon atoms and a diamine of the formula NH.sub.2 RNH.sub.2, where R is alkylene of 6 to 12 carbon atoms or is ##STR1## An aqueous solution, of lower concentration, of a salt of a dicarboxylic acid and a diamine, containing an appropriate dissolved excess of the particular dicarboxylic acid, is reacted with the particular diamine in the molten state, in an equivalent amount to the dissolved dicarboxylic acid, the reaction being carried out under superatmospheric pressure and the final reaction temperature being kept at from 140.degree. to 210.degree. C. The solution obtained is used for the manufacture of a nylon.
