Abstract: Hydrophobized granular material comprising from 30 to 95% by weight of a pyrogenic mixed oxide based on silica and at least one oxide of metal M selected from of Al, Ti and Fe with the content of metal M oxide in the mixed oxide being from 01 to 10% by weight, and from 5 to 70% by weight of at least one IR-opacifier selected from the group consisting of silicon carbide, zirconium dioxide, ilmenites, iron titanates, zirconium silicates, manganese oxides, graphites, carbon blacks and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the production of foamed areal polyurethane(PUR)/polyisocyanurate(PIR) moldings, where a polyurethane/polyisocyanurate reaction mixture is injected into a mold that is under elevated pressure and then a depressurization takes place, and the foaming process is thus induced, and after the reaction the molding is demolded, and to a mold for carrying out the method.

Abstract: A method of preparing a specific solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system involves applying an obtained self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system on a mixture. The mixture contains (ia) 60 to 90 parts by weight of at least one dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-butyl methacrylate-methyl methacrylate copolymer; (iia) 10 to 40 parts by weight of at least one methacrylic acid-ethyl acrylate copolymer; and (iiia) optionally, at least one additive; where the sum of (a) and (iia) is 100 parts by weight. The solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system obtained by the method of the present invention is useful as a medicament.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition contains at least one methacrylic copolymer having units derived from methacrylamide; at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient; at least one lipid component; and at least one surfactant. The pharmaceutical composition can be used as a medicament. A method can be used to prepare a solid self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system using the different compounds of the pharmaceutical composition.

Abstract: A novel methacrylic copolymer contains units derived from at least one alkyl methacrylate and methacrylamide. The units derived from methacrylamide are present in at least 34 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the methacrylic copolymer. A method can be used for preparing these novel methacylic copolymers. Pharmaceutical compositions, nutraceutical compositions, coated pharmaceutical or nutraceutical dosage forms, as well as nano- or microparticles can contain the methacrylic copolymer. The methacrylic copolymer can be used as a coating, as a carrier, and as a matrix for an amorphous solid dispersion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a granular thermal insulation material comprising hydrophobized silicon dioxide and at least one IR opacifier, having a tamped density of up to 250 g/l and a compressive strength according to DIN EN 826:2013 at 50% compression of 150 to 300 kPa or greater than 300 kPa, to processes for production thereof and to the use thereof for thermal insulation.

Abstract: A dosage form contains a polymeric matrix, containing one or more polymer(s) and a biologically active ingredient. The polymeric matrix contains 10% by weight or more of the one or more polymer(s). The one or more polymer(s) are polymerized from a monomer mixture containing the monomers (a) 70 to 95% by weight of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA) and ethyl methacrylate (EMA), or 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (EHMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA); (b) 0 to 25% by weight of a C2 to C6 hydroxy-alkylester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; and (c) 2.5 to 20% by weight of a C2 to C8 alkyl ester of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid with a quaternary cationic group in the alkyl group.
