Abstract: A two-step, sequential coating method is disclosed which permits the use of aqueous precursor solutions to coat water-insoluble compounds onto thermoplastic film. In a preferred embodiment, an aqueous oleic acid/ammonium oleate solution is coated onto amorphous polyester sheet which is subsequently monoaxially oriented by stretching in the machine direction, and coated with an aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide, thereby forming a layer of calcium oleate in situ. The coated film is subsequently biaxially oriented by stretching in the transverse direction, and heat-set.

Abstract: A polymer granulate whose particles consist of a core component and a coating component can be prepared by mixing a granular polymer with a pulverulent coating agent. The core component is made of a water-soluble polymer, in particular a polyvinyl alcohol. The coating component is a water-soluble or water-insoluble substance which is applied to the water-moistened particles of the core component. The particles of the polymer granulate have diameters within the range from 0.6 to 6 mm. The granulate has particularly good freeflowing properties; it is especially suitable for preparing adhesives.
Abstract: The invention relates to polyester molding compositions, comprising substantially the polyester, preferably polyethylene terephthalate, a nucleating agent, a special imide compound as a further crystallization accelerator and, if appropriate, the conventional reinforcing agents and additives. The special crystallization accelerator according to the invention is virtually unreactive with the polyester and, in particular, is considerably more resistant to migration than relevant crystallization accelerators according to the state of the art. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these polyester molding compositions.
Abstract: A tube, in particular sausage casing, is composed of mutually connected sections which at the connection point, prior to connection, possess cut edges extending approximately at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the tube and parallel to each other. The sections are connected by an adhesive tape extending around the outside of the tube. When the tube, possessing two folded edges extending parallel to each other, is flattened, the part of the cut edges of one section extending from a first folded edge of the other opposite folded edge is situated within the tube and the other part of this cut edge, which extends from the second folded edge back to the first folded edge, is situated on the outside of the tube. Parts of the cut edge of the other section are situated in reversed arrangement, firstly on the outside of the tube and then within the tube.

Abstract: Provided is an archival recording medium and a method for recording information on same. The recording medium comprises a microporous polymeric layer and an energy-absorbing material, e.g., a layer of an energy-absorbing material such as a metal or dye/polymer layer deposited on the microporous layer. If desired, further dimensional stability and mechanical strength can be provided by a thermally stable substrate or by tensioning the medium within a rigid frame. Information is recorded by the energy-absorbing material heating up in localized irradiated regions and causing the controlled collapse of the microporous structure in the microporous polymer layer. The collapsed portions of the structure constitute the information which can then be read either by reflectance or transmission.
Abstract: This invention discloses a process for the preparation of substituted polybenzimidazole polymers by reacting an unsubstituted polybenzimidazole polymer with a pyrocarbonate to produce an oxyformulated polybenzimidazole polymer. The oxyformulated polybenzimidazole polymer can be heated to convert it to an N-substituted polybenzimidazole polymer. Membranes, fibers and other products produced from the products of these reactions are highly resistant to chemical reactions with broad utility as fibers or membranes.
