Abstract: Flexible printing plates are produced from printing plates consisting essentially of a dimensionally stable substrate (1) and a recording layer (2) by a process in which the printing plate is produced alternatively either by photochemical or by mechanical structuring, and in the case of photochemical structuring the photosensitive recording layer (2) is exposed imagewise and the unexposed parts of the recording layer (2) are washed out with a developer and in the case of mechanical structuring the originally photosensitive, uniformly exposed recording layer (2) is cut imagewise and the nonprinting parts of the recording layer (2) are peeled off from the substrate (1).The printing plates produced by this process are suitable for the production of products printed by the flexographic method and for lacquering products printed by the offset method.

Abstract: Acicular cobalt-containing magnetic iron oxides having a high coercive force and a core/shell structure and hence low temperature dependence of the coercive force are prepared by a process in which, in a first stage, surface activation is effected by means of iron(II) and cobalt ions under alkaline conditions on the iron oxide core under an inert gas atmosphere and thereafter, in a second stage, an epitactic coating of cobalt ferrite is applied, which coating is formed oxidatively from iron (II) and cobalt (II) hydroxide, likewise under alkaline reaction conditions. The total amount of cobalt ions used for doping remains unchanged compared with the known doped iron oxides or is even smaller. In the second process stage, the achievable coercive force can be controlled by the proportion of air in the gas mixture during the formation of the epitactic coating.

Abstract: A novel Phillips catalyst for the copolymerization of ethylene with .alpha.-olefins, contains, as a catalytically active component, a finely divided, aluminum silicate-supported, phosphorus-containing chromium catalyst. This can be prepared by applying at least one organic phosphorus(III), (IV) and/or (V) compound and at least one chromium(III) compound which does not react with said phosphorus compounds under the reaction conditions used, in succcession in any order or simultaneously, to a finely divided aluminum silicate hydrogel or xerogel with formation of a catalyst intermediate and activating the catalyst intermediate at elevated temperatures in an oxidizing atmosphere, with the result that the chromium catalyst is formed. The novel Phillips catalyst gives ethylene/.alpha.-olefin copolymers in which the comonomers are more uniformly distributed over the copolymer chains than is the case with ethylene/.alpha.-olefin copolymers which have been prepared with the aid of conventional Phillips catalysts.
