Abstract: A method of making a plastic molding is disclosed. The multi-step method entails applying a metallic layer 20 to 150 nm thick to a translucent plastic film having a thickness of 50 to 750 ?m, removing part of the metallic layer, and applying to the metallized side of the film an adhesive layer 5 to 50 ?m in thickness to obtain a product, and injection molding the product with a translucent thermoplastic. The plastic molding thus made is suitable for the preparation of keys, fittings, trim strips, reflectors, keyboards, casings, shields, advertising panels and packaging items and identification cards.

Abstract: A photovoltaic module comprising at least one multi-layered composite polymeric body is described. The composite body contains at least one layer of polycarbonate, and at least one layer of a fluorine-containing polymer. At least one multi-layer composite body of the module has printing thereon, and each multi-layer composite body of the module has a thickness of at least 1 mm.

Abstract: New, highly branched polyphosphonates which have a greatly improved flame retardant action compared with known polyphosphonates which are suitable as additives for plastics. In addition the new polyphosphonates may be incorporated in plastics as stabilizers with excellent migration properties.

Abstract: Thermoplastic molding compounds of polyalkylene terephthalate, special barium sulfate, particulate graft polymers and, optionally, reinforcing materials are distinguished from known, elastomer-modified polyalkylene terephthalates, particularly polyethylene terephthalates, by improved heat resistance and toughness.

Abstract: Thermoplastic molding composition based on polyalkylene terephthalate, aromatic polycarbonate and, optionally, rubber-elastic polymer, which are provided with special phosphorus stabilizers, show good paintability and paint adhesion and, even after painting, show favorable low-temperature toughness and heat resistance.

Abstract: Moulding compositions of polycarbonate, polyalkylene terephthalate and, optionally, polymer having a glass transition temperature below -20.degree. C. may be processed to form particularly low-distortion mouldings when the polycarbonate consists at least partly of o,o,o',o'-tetramethyl-besphenol-polycarbonate.
