Abstract: Disclosed herein is a polycondensation method for preparing SH-terminated polymers having at least two terminal SH-groups and including sulfur-carbon-sulfur linkages in its polymer backbone, where the method includes a step of reacting at least at least one organic constituent a1 including at least one carbonyl group with at least one organic constituent a2 including at least two thiol groups, where the molar ratio r of constituent(s) a1 and a2 to each other is <1. Further disclosed herein are polymers obtained by the method, a 2K sealing system including such polymers in one of its components, a sealant composition obtained from the method, a method of sealing a substrate by making use of the sealant composition, and a sealed substrate obtained by the method.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of sealing a substrate optionally including a step (1) of applying a primer composition, and including a step (2) of applying a sealant composition, which is obtained by mixing components (A) and (B) of a 2K-sealing system with each other, where an organosilane constituent including at least one hydrolyzable group X, at least one NCO-group and a spacer unit including a moiety MS including in turn at least one sulfur atom and being positioned between X and the NCO-group, is at least present. Further disclosed herein are a sealed substrate obtained by this method, a method of using the organosilane constituent for adhesion enhancement, a sealant composition, a 2K sealing system, and an organosilane constituent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a superconducting hollow cable and a method for the production thereof. The superconducting hollow cable (1) has an outer tube (2) which has a circular inner cross-section and a cylindrical inner wall (3). In addition, the superconducting hollow cable (1) has a central cooling channel (4) of a polygonal or circular cross-section that is, however, smaller than the inner cross-section of the outer tube (2). Arranged between the outer tube (2) and the cooling channel (4) are profiled superconducting wires (5). These profiled superconducting wires (5) have a cross-sectional profile which corresponds to a key stone as known for Roman stone bridges or for groin vaults. For the purpose, the cross-sectional profile has at least one outer region (7) of curvature and an inner region (8), the outer region (7) of curvature being matched to the inner radius of the outer tube (2) and the inner region (8) being matched to the cooling channel (4).
