Abstract: Disclosed are polymer-based dielectric compositions (e.g., formulations) and materials (e.g. films) and associated devices. The polymers generally include photocrosslinkable pendant groups; for example, the polymers can include one or more coumarin-containing pendant groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing xerogel composites, which comprises: (a) provision of a composition comprising an organic gel precursor (A) comprising a monomer component (A1) composed of at least one polyfunctional isocyanate and a monomer component (A2) composed of at least one compound selected from among polyfunctional amines and polyfunctional hydroxy compounds; (b) reaction of the gel precursor (A) in the presence of an open-celled macroporous foam (B) and a solvent (C) to form a xerogel composite; (c) drying of the xerogel composite by conversion of the solvent (C) into the gaseous state at a temperature and a pressure below the critical temperature and the critical pressure of the solvent (C). The invention further relates to the xerogel composites which can be obtained in this way and their use as insulating material, for thermal insulation, vacuum insulation panels, in refrigeration units or in buildings.

Abstract: The use of polyelectrolyte complexes is described, for providing an oxygen barrier to packaging materials made of polymer foils. Polymeric components of the polyelectrolyte complex are applied in polymerized form to the polymer foil. The polymer foil is either coated with an aqueous dispersion comprising a dispersed polyelectrolyte complex previously produced by water-in-water emulsion polymerization, or is coated with a composition comprising a polyelectrolyte complex produced from anionic polymer and from cationic surfactant, or the polymer foil is coated with at least three alternating layers, where respectively one of two adjacent layers comprises an anionic polyelectrolyte component and the other of two adjacent layers comprises a cationic polyelectrolyte component, and polyelectrolyte complexes form at the opposite, adjacent interfaces of the alternating layers.

Abstract: A description is given of a method of producing packaging, the packaging surface being coated with a polyelectrolyte complex, and the polyelectrolyte complex being composed of at least one first polymer and at least one second polymer, the first polymer being an anionic polymer and the second polymer being a cationic polymer. The packaging is distinguished by good fat barrier properties.

Abstract: Sheet-like moldings or foils with anisotropic coefficients of thermal expansion are produced from extrudable thermoplastic polymer molding compositions by filling the thermoplastic polymer molding compositions with lamellar phyllosilicates whose diameter is in the range from 10 to 1000 nm and whose aspect ratio is in the range from 1:5 to 1:10 000 and extruding the filled thermoplastic polymer molding compositions, and then monoaxially or biaxially orienting the extrudate to give sheet-like moldings or foils.
