Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising at least one fluorosilane and at least one aminosilane, a condensation product of said fluorosilane and said aminosilane, and a surface protective agent made thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrodeposited metal layer on a substrate with embedded particles, especially inorganic particles, which have a silicate coating, and to the use of such layer for coating machine parts.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispersed electret finish, a process for preparing an electret coating, the electret coating resulting therefrom, and the use of the electret coating for finishing textiles and carpets or for preparing filters, for example, air and liquid filters or cigarette filters, sensors, condenser microphones, data memories or membranes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous colloidal gold solution, comprising (a) nano-particular gold particles, (b) a compound having a polar tertiary amino group conjugated via a hydrophobic aromatic residue with a weaker alkaline group, and (c) a stabilizer comprising a mercapto group (—SH) and an acidic group, in particular a sulfonic acid group (—SO3?). This gold solution uses an ecologically compatible medium and is suited in an especial manner or writing and for printing, also for inkjet printers, since it has a long-term storage life and generates an attractive metal-like gold sheen.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical nickel bath containing precious metal ions, a process for preparing a chemically deposited nickel coat containing a precious metal, the thus produced nickel coat, and the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of titanium-containing oxide particles having an average primary particle size of 25 nm or less, which comprises the reaction of a hydrolysable halide-containing titanium compound with water in a reaction mixture comprising a polyol, and the particles obtainable thereby. The claimed method is suitable for an industrial upscale and allows the formation of concentrated stable and transparent dispersions in water without the aid of dispersing agents such as surfactants.
