Abstract: The invention relates to stabilized filled polyolefins comprising a filler and a macrocyclic compound which contains a radical of formula ##STR1## in the macrocyclic structure or in a side-group, said macrocyclic structure consisting of at least 8 atoms and wherein the substituents R are each independently of one another methyl, ethyl or propyl, or two substituents R at the same carbon atom are together also a pentamethylene radical, and a is 0, 1 or 2. The invention also relates to a method of stabilizing filled polyolefins and to the use of the macrocyclic compounds as stabilizers.

Abstract: A process is described for the preparation of photopolymerizable compositions, wherein the photopolymerizable compositions can be photopolymerized by the irradiation of emission lines of differing wavelength from a UV/VIS laser light source, and contain a photopolymerizable compound and at least two photoinitiators, by adjusting the sensitivity to radiation. The ratio between the concentrations of the individual photoinitiators is so adjusted that the composition has virtually the same optical density for the radiation of the different emission lines at which the photoinitiators are effective.

Abstract: Radical cation salts having the composition of formula I ##STR1## wherein x has a value from -0.1 to +0.2. These radical cation salts crystallize in needle form and are electric conductors. They can be incorporated in polymers to form conductive networks of crystal needles in a polymer matrix. The polymers can be used for making antistatically treated mouldings or electrodes.

Abstract: Titanocenes containing two 5-membered cyclodienyl groups, for example cyclopentadienyl, and one or two 6-membered carbocyclic or 5- or 6-membered heterocyclic aromatic rings which are substituted by a fluorine atom in at least one of the two ortho-positions to the titanium-carbon bond and contain, as a further substituent, unsubstituted or substituted 1-pyrryl, are suitable as photoinitiators for radiation-induced polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated compounds.

Abstract: Titanocenes with silylated .pi.-cyclopentadienyl ligands in which one or two carbo- or heterocyclic aromatic rings are bonded to the titanium, the aromatic rings being substituted by fluorine, --CF.sub.3, --C.sub.2 F.sub.5, --CF.sub.2 CL or --CF.sub.2 CH.sub.3 in at least one of the two ortho-positions relative to the metal-carbon bonds, are suitable as photoinitiators for the photopolymerization of ethylenically unsaturated substrates. They are distinguished by a high sensitivity, stability to air and the action of heat, and a high activity in the region of UV light to visible light. They are furthermore readily soluble in the photopolymerizable compositions.
