Abstract: The use is described of polymers which contain, in copolymerized form, an ?-olefin, a vinyl ester and an ester of an ?,?-unsaturated carboxylic acid as an additive for fuel oils and lubricants and in particular as a cold flow improver in fuel oils. In addition, the fuel oils and lubricants additized with these polymers; and also additive packages comprising such polymers are described.

Abstract: The invention relates to fluoranthene derivatives of the general formula (I) in which R1, R2, R3 and a are each defined according to the description, with the proviso that at least one of the R1 or R2 radicals is not hydrogen, to processes for their preparation and to the use of the fluoranthene derivatives as emitter molecules in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), to a light-emitting layer comprising the inventive fluoranthene derivatives as emitter molecules, to an OLED comprising the inventive light-emitting layer and to devices comprising the inventive OLED.

Abstract: A mixture comprising a surfactant and a cosurfactant is proposed wherein the cosurfactant used is an amphiphilic comb polymer having a backbone with two or more side chains attached to the backbone, where the side chains differ from one another and/or the side chains differ from the backbone in their amphiphilic character.

Abstract: Ethylene copolymer waxes containing amino groups, and use thereof Ethylene copolymer waxes with a molecular weight Mw in the range from 1000 to 20 000 g/mol, which comprise, as copolymerized comonomers, (c) from 50 to 95% by weight of ethylene, (d) from 5 to 50% by weight of at least one comonomer which has at least one alkylated or cycloalkylated amino group, each of which has bonding via a spacer to a polymerizable group, (e) from 0 to 30% by weight of other comonomers, where all % by weight data are based on the entire weight of ethylene copolymer wax.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing thixotropic agents containing 0.1–30 wt.-% of at least one ethylene terpolymer wax, 5–7 wt.-% of at least one solvent, which is incompatible with the ethylene terpolymer wax, 5–85 wt.-% of of at least one solvent which is compatible with the ethylene terpolymer wax and with one or more of the first-named solvents.
