Abstract: The present invention relates to a new composite comprising cellulose-based fiber and polymer-based fiber as well as to molded articles made from said composite.

Abstract: Polyvinyl alcohol fiber reinforced polypropylene composition with excellent impact/stiffness balance as well as to its preparation and use.

Abstract: An electrical switch is disclosed including a rotatably mounted contact bridge which includes a movable contact, wherein the movable contact interacts with a stationary contact of the electrical switch for the purpose of closing or opening the electrical circuit as a result of rotation of the contact bridge. In at least one embodiment, the surfaces at the point at which contact is made between the movable contact and the stationary contact are at least partially covered by a protective material for protecting against soiling and/or damage due to contact-erosion materials, wherein the protective material is a paper-like fleece.

Abstract: The invention relates to composite material containing a proportion of wood and a proportion of crosslinked melamine resins, which is characterized in that the crosslinked melamine resins are formed from melamine resins that are, in essence, linearly synthesized and have a shear-dependent viscosity. The invention also relates to a method for producing the composite materials and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to plastic products with high strength and flexibility, having 10 to 50 mass % of at least one crosslinked thermoplast and 90 to 50 mass % of at least one crosslinked melamine resin ether. The invention further relates to a method for production of such a plastic product. The aim of the invention is the production of plastic objects in thermoplastics and duroplastics which can be produced by thermoplastic methodology and which have improved material properties.
