Abstract: Waterdispersible cationic resins are formed by reacting the components comprising at least(A) an epoxidized polydiene,(B) a bisglycidylether of a polyphenol,(C) an amide compound, which is formed by one or more higher, substantially multiply unsaturated fatty acids and a polyamine and which may comprise a ketimine group or a hydroxy group, and possibly(D) an organic secondary amine and/or(E) a partially and/or fully masked polyisocyanate, which product comprises excess epoxide groups and carbon-carbon double bonds and which resins can be made waterdispersible with an acid under formation of cationic groups. A composite is provided comprising the cationic resin superposed on a conducting substrate and a method is described for forming the composite.

Abstract: A process for the production of 3-hydrazino-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole wherein hydrazinium-dithiocarbazinate is heated at moderately elevated temperature, e.g. about 50.degree. C. to 85.degree. C. and under reduced pressure, e.g. about 50 to 500 mm. Hg, with at least a 3.times. molar amount of hydrazine hydrate.

Abstract: A process for the producing a polyamidocarboxylic acid, or so-called polyamic acid, which is the prepolymer in forming a polyamide and which requires the reaction of a tetracarboxylic acid dianhydride with a diprimary diamine below about 50.degree.C. in an anhydrous, polar, aprotic organic solvent, characterized by an initial treatment of the dianhydride by only wetting with an inert organic solvent or by at least wetting this dianhydride with the polar, aprotic solvent and thereafter adding to the wetted dianhydride a solution of the diamine in the polar, aprotic solvent under thorough mixing, preferably within a very short period of time after treating the dianhydride. Stable polyamic acid solutions formed in this manner are useful intermediates in preparing films, filaments or other shaped polyimide products.

Abstract: In a process for reacting an aromatic or hydroaromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride with an aliphatic or aromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic mono- or di-amine to produce an N-substituted dicarboxylic acid imide with a splitting off of water, the improvement of carrying out the reaction in a liquid solvent mixture consisting essentially of a non-polar organic solvent and a strongly polar organic solvent which together form a ternary azeotrope with water at reaction temperatures between about 40.degree.C. and 160.degree.C. The imide products are generally known for use as intermediates and final products in a number of industries.
