Abstract: A process for mineral oil production, especially Winsor type III microemulsion flooding, in which an aqueous surfactant formulation which comprises at least one alkylpolyalkoxysulfate comprising propoxy groups, and at least one further surfactant differing therefrom is used, is forced through injection wells into a mineral oil deposit and crude oil is removed from the deposit through production wells. The alkylpolyalkoxysulfate comprising propoxy groups is prepared in this case by sulfating an alkoxylated alcohol, the alkoxylated alcohol being prepared by alkoxylating an alcohol using double metal cyanide catalysts or double hydroxide clays.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing transparent conductive oxides, comprising the following steps in the sequence of a-b-c: (a) reaction of at least one starting compound (A) comprising at least one metal or semimetal M and optionally of a dopant (D) comprising at least one doping element M?, where at least one M? is different than M, in the presence of a block copolymer (B) and of a solvent (C) to form a composite material (K), (b) optional application of the composite material (K) to a substrate (S) and (c) heating of the composite material (K) to a temperature of at least 350° C., wherein the block copolymer (B) comprises at least one alkylene oxide block (AO) and at least one isobutylene block (IB).
