Abstract: A process for the production of microcapsules by interfacial polyreaction, which comprises mixing a first reactant with an emulsion of a solution of a material to be encapsulated and a second reactant whereby the first and second reactants react to form a capsule containing the said material and wherein the second reactant dissolved in the disperse phase is a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound corresponding to one of the formulae I, II or III ##STR1## wherein at least two of the radicals A, B, D and E are halogen atoms, ammonium, hydrazinium, sulfonium, optionally substituted alkyl sulfonyl, aryl sulfonyl, aralkyl sulfonium, azido, aryloxy, thiocyano arylthio and sulfonic acid residues which are reactive under the conditions of the capsule-forming reaction and the remaining radicals A, B, D, E are hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkoxy, phenoxy, alkylamino or phenylamino radicals which are not reactive under the conditions of the capsule-forming reaction.

Abstract: A "one-component" carbonless copying paper, comprising paper having on the same surface thereof (1) a color former encapsulated in walls of polyurea obtained by the reaction of a polyisocyanate with a polyamine and water, and (2) a developer capable of reacting with the color former to form a dyestuff, the developer having been formed in situ during the reaction of the polyisocyanate with the polyamine.

Abstract: A coating composition to improve the abrasion and scratch resistance of plastics such as polycarbonate, consisting essentially of about(A) 10-40% by weight of a partially hydrolyzed siloxane compound which is obtained by hydrolyzing in water at about 50.degree.-80.degree. C. over a period of about 1-12 hours at least one of(a) a hydrocarbon-trialkoxysilane of the formula R'Si(OR").sub.3 whereinR' is an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms or a phenyl or vinyl group, andR" is an alkyl group with 1 to 4 carbon atoms,(b) a co-condensation product of (a) and about 1 to 40% by weight of a phenyl- or vinyl-trialkoxysilane, the alkoxy group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms,(c) a co-condensation product of 1 mol of (a) and 0.05 to 1 mol of a tetraalkoxysilane, in which the alkoxy group contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and(d) a co-condensation product of 1 mol of (a) and 0.05 to 1 of a dialkyldialkoxysilane, in which the alkyl and alkoxy groups contain 1 to 4 carbon atoms.

Abstract: Blocked polyisocyanates with improved water-dispersible or water-soluble properties are prepared by reacting polyisocyanates, in which 50 to 99.8% of the isocyanate groups are blocked, optionally in a solvent-free environment with an organic polyaminosulphonate or an organic polyaminosulphonic acid in sufficient quantities to provide an end product containing from 0.1 to 10%, by weight, of sulphonate groups (SO.sub.3.sup.-). The blocked polyisocyanates have particular utility when used in combination with hydrophobic polyhydroxyl compounds as binders in aqueous coating compounds.
