Abstract: Polyarylene ethers are employed as filter material for removing NO.sub.2 from gases and liquids. In the presence of an oxidizing agent having a redox potential of at least 0.96 V SHE, NO can also be removed. The filter material is used to produce NO.sub.2 -free gases, for example in the medical sector.

Abstract: Polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate are provided with a flame-retardant finish by addition of calcium salts or aluminum salts of phosphinic or diphosphinic acids.
Abstract: Low-flammability polyamide molding materials are obtained by admixing calcium or aluminum phosphinates. These salts confer improved flame protection on polyamides compared with other metal salts.
Abstract: A magneto-optical recording medium containing a substrate formed from polymers which are prepared by polymerization without ring cleavage, of monomers comprising polycyclic olefins, such as norbornene, results in a recording medium having increased thermal dimensional stability and resistance to hydrolysis, and decreased moisture absorption and birefringence.
