Abstract: The present invention relates to a coating composition comprising (a) at least one thermoplastic polymer having a mean molar mass Mw of at least 100 000 g/mol in a content of at least 30% by weight of the solids content of the coating composition, (b) at least one UV-curable reactive diluent in a content of at least 30% by weight of the solids content of the coating composition, (c) at least one photoinitiator in a content of ?0.1 to ?10 parts by weight of the solids content of the coating composition, and (d) at least one organic solvent, where the proportion of ethylenically unsaturated groups is at least 3 mol per kg of the solids content of the coating composition. It further relates to a process for producing such coating compositions, to films coated therewith, to the use of such films for production of shaped bodies, to a process for producing shaped bodies having a radiation-cured coating, and to shaped bodies producible by this process.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for consciousness and/or pain monitoring, preferably for anesthesia monitoring and for detecting awareness and unconsciousness is described, in which EEG signals are evaluated by means of symbolic transfer entropy. The apparatus includes a module for analyzing EEG signals, having a data input that can receive and measure EEG signals, a computer unit that can evaluate the EEG signals and an output unit that can output an indicator value for differentiating between awareness and unconsciousness, and to an anesthesia monitor which is configured to measure EEG signals and to evaluate them by means of symbolic transfer entropy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a UV-crosslinkable composition comprising a) unmodified, protonated silica nanoparticles; b) urethane acrylate; c) polar solvent; and d) UV initiator system, wherein the amount by weight of unmodified, protonated silica nanoparticles exceeds the content of urethane acrylate and is at least 50.1 wt. %, based on the dry weight of the coating, to the use of the composition in the coating of substrates, and to substrates coated with such formulations.
