Abstract: The invention relates to a biaxially oriented transparent polypropylene film having a good UV barrier. The film contains, in at least one layer, nanoscalar titanium dioxide. The total content of nanoscalar titanium dioxide in the film ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 % by weight with regard to the total weight of the film.

Abstract: The invention relates to an opaque biaxially oriented film made of at least one layer that contains COC. This layer contains a cycloolefin copolymer (COC) in a concentration of 0.5 to 30 wt. % with regard to this layer and contains a polymer made from aliphatic hydroxycarboxylic acid units.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for metalizing polyolefin film in which at least one outermost layer of the unmetalized polyolefin film has at least about 90% cycloolefin polymer that has not been subjected to a process for increasing surface tension before metalization. The metalized films are useful as dielectrics in capacitors.

Abstract: A biaxially oriented polypropylene film is described. The n-heptane-insoluble content of the film has a chain isotacticity index, measured by 13-C-NMR spectroscopy, of at least 95%. In particular, the film should have the lowest possible shrinkage (transverse shrinkage and longitudinal shrinkage) at elevated temperatures. In addition, a process for the production of the polypropylene film and its use is described.

In addition, a process for the production of the polypropylene film and the use of the film are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a film having more than one layer and made from cycloolefin polymers and having a base layer and at least one outer layer, the base layer being built up essentially from a cycloolefin polymer COP having a glass transition temperature Tg and the outer layer being built up essentially from a mixture of cycloolefin polymers, wherein the mixture of cycloolefin polymers comprises at least two cycloolefin polymers COP.sub.1 and COP.sub.2 whose glass transition temperatures Tg.sub.1 and Tg.sub.2 differ by at least 5.degree. C., where Tg.sub.2 -Tg.sub.1 .gtoreq.5.degree. C. and at the same time the condition Tg.sub.2 -Tg.gtoreq.5.degree. C. is fulfilled.

Abstract: A coating agent for plastic films which contains an intrinsically electrically conducting polymer and one or more additives which have an anti-adhesion action with respect to a metal coating to be applied to the plastic film can be used to coat plastic films. The plastic films so coated can be used to transfer a coated metal to another substrate.

Abstract: In a for the production of biaxially stretched films, a take-off roll 4 is arranged downstream of a draw-off roll 3 . A plastic melt is formed into an initial film by means of a slot die 1, cooled on the draw-off roll 3 and passed over the take-off roll 4 which has a predetermined surface roughness. The film is then biaxially stretched and heat-set.

Abstract: A process for the production of biaxially oriented polypropylene films which include at least one layer is described, in which a propylene polymer B is heated in an extruder and the melt of the propylene polymer B is extruded through a flat sheet die and the melt emerging from the flat sheet die is taken off on one or more rolls and is solidified to give a prefilm and this prefilm is stretched in the longitudinal and transverse direction. A propylene polymer or a propylene polymer mixture A is heated and melted in a second extruder and the melt of the propylene polymer or of the propylene polymer mixture A is fed to the two sides of the propylene polymer melt B so that both melts are extruded together and simultaneously through the flat sheet die.

Abstract: A weldable and/or heat-sealable, single- or multilayer film having at least one weldable and/or heat-sealable layer, the weldable and/or heat-sealable film being provided on at least one side on one outer surface with an antistatic coating, wherein the antistatic coating has a thickness of from about 0.005 to about 0.08 .mu.m and comprises at least about 60% by weight of a soluble, intrinsically electroconductive polymer which comprises structural units of the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 - to C.sub.12 - or a C.sub.6 - to C.sub.30 -alkoxy group, and which has a degree of polymerization of less than about 100, where the polymer or oligomer is in oxidized form and has an appropriate number of anions to compensate for the positive charge. These films are heat-sealable, in spite of their antistatic coating.

Abstract: An aqueous dispersion is described which contains electroconductive, doped, polyalkoxythiophene which is soluble in aprotic organic solvents and is insoluble in water. The dispersion has a residual solvent content of less than or equal to 25% by weight, based on the total weight of the dispersion. A process for the preparation of this dispersion and the use of the dispersion for forming coatings on substrates are also described.
