Abstract: The present invention relates to the continuous production of polyurethane and polyurethane urea elastomers by reaction of polyisocyanates with isocyanate-reactive compounds in a mixing nozzle.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a thermoplastic composition which is a blend of A) a thermoplastic polyurethane and B) an at least partly crosslinked alkyl acrylate copolymer of a C.sub.1-6 alkyl acrylate and a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylonitrile, styrene, vinyl acetate, C.sub.1-6 alkyl methacrylates and mixtures thereof. The preferred compositions also contain copolymer selected from the group consisting ofC1) a thermoplastic graft product of a rubber component having a glass transition temperature below 0.degree. C., which serves as the graft base, and at least one graft monomer selected from the group consisting of styrene, .alpha.-methyl styrene, acrylonitrile an C.sub.1-6 alkyl methacrylate,C2) a rubber-free resin copolymer of styrene or .alpha.-methyl styrene with acrylonitrile,C3) mixtures thereof.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process, which comprises spreading a metallomacrocyclic polymer dissolved in an organic, water-immiscible solvent on a water surface, removing the solvent to form a monomolecular, uniformly oriented film of said polymer on the surface of the water, immersing a substrate in the water, and withdrawing the substrate from the water, whereby said polymer film is transferred from the water surface to the substrate.

Abstract: A layer element comprises a base having a hydrophobic surface and, applied on this, one or more solid, thin, ordered layers of defined uniform and regular structure, in particular monolayers or multilayers, having a uniform orientation of the layer-forming molecules in one direction. The said layers are formed from a metallomacrocyclic polymer which is fusible and/or soluble in an organic, water-immiscible solvent and is of the general formula [M(Pcyc)O].sub.n, where M is Si, Ge or Sn, (Pcyc) is a complex-forming centrosymmetric polycyclic ring system, in particular a phthalocyanine ring system having hydrophobic substituents, and n is the mean degree of polymerization and is equal to or greater than 3. The novel layer elements can advantageously be produced by the Langmuir-Blodgett technique, in which a solid-like monolayer produced on a water surface from the metallomacrocyclic polymers is transferred to a substrate having a hydrophobic surface by immersion and withdrawal of the said substrate.
