Abstract: A storage-stable aqueous miniemulsion whose disperse phase comprises a cholesteric mixture is prepared and is used for coating and printing on suitable substrates.

Abstract: Use of cationically modified, particulate, hydrophobic polymers, the surface of which has been cationically modified by coating with polyvalent metal ions and/or cationic surfactants, the particle size of which is 10 nm to 100 ?m, as additive to rinse compositions, care compositions, detergents and cleaners, and also rinse compositions, care compositions, detergents and cleaners which comprise the cationically modified, particulate, hydrophobic polymers.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of cationically-modified, particle-shaped, hydrophobic polymers as addition agents in rinsing, care, detergent, and cleaning products. The surface of said polymers is cationically modified by means of a coating of cationic polymers and the particle size of said polymers ranges from 10 nm to 100 ?m.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an amplifying medium for solid-state dye lasers and to a solid-state dye laser provided with an amplifying medium of this type. The amplifying medium according to the invention comprises an essentially solid active medium which contains at least one type of activatable particle which can be excited to emit laser light in a certain wavelength range, and optical feedback means which define a resonator for the laser light, where the feedback means comprise an essentially solid feedback medium which has a periodic structure. The feedback medium in the amplifying medium is a polymeric dispersion film having a crystalline structure which comprises, in particular, core/shell particles which can be formed into a film.

Abstract: In the process and a correspondingly appropriate device for preparing homo- or copolymers of at least one of the, polymerizable monomers of the group consisting of styrene, butadiene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate, vinylidene chloride, alkyl (meth)acrylatc (meth)acrylic acid, (meth)acrylonitrile and (meth)acrylamide reaction is carried out at at least 40° C. in the presence of a dispersing auxiliary and of a free-radical polymerization initiator such that at least 85% by weight of the polymer is formed from these monomers.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of cationically-modified, particle-shaped, hydrophobic polymers as addition agents in rinsing, care, detergent, and cleaning products. The surface of said polymers is cationically modified by means of a coating of cationic polymers and the particle size of said polymers ranges from 10 nm to 100 &mgr;m.

Abstract: A pressure-sensitive and heat-sensitive recording material which comprises a carrier bearing a color-developing coating consisting of(a) a finely divided solid phenolic resin with spherical particles of size .ltoreq.5 .mu.m,(b) a copolymer as the dispersant, obtained from (.alpha.) a compound of the formula ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.8 -C.sub.20 -alkyl, phenyl or C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 -alkylphenyl, R.sup.2 is hydrogen or methyl, n is from 2 to 100 and m is from 0 to 50, and (.beta.) an ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid or phosphonic acid, with or without (.gamma.) an additional ethylenically unsaturated copolymerizable compound different from (.alpha.) and (.beta.), and(c) one or more aliphatic alcohols which are solid at room temperature, with or without(d) other auxiliaries.The coating, used in conjunction with micro-encapsulated color formers, gives sharp and intense copies.
