Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a device for viscosity or viscoelasticity measurement comprising: a structure comprising a horizontal rotatable cylinder-shaped section for receiving a liquid whose viscosity or viscoelasticity is to be measured; a light source arranged for emitting light onto the liquid surface in rotation within said structure; an optical focusing screen arranged at an end of said cylinder-shaped section; an optical sensor for detecting a light spot, emitted by the light source and reflected by the liquid surface in rotation within the structure, impinging on the optical focusing screen; an electronic data processor arranged for calculating the viscosity or viscoelasticity of the liquid from the location of said light spot on said optical focusing screen. The present disclosure also relates to a method of manufacture of the device and a method for measuring viscosity or viscoelasticity of a liquid.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrodeposited metal layer on a substrate with embedded particles, especially inorganic particles, which have a silicate coating, and to the use of such layer for coating machine parts.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a chemical nickel bath containing precious metal ions, a process for preparing a chemically deposited nickel coat containing a precious metal, the thus produced nickel coat, and the use thereof.

Abstract: Recycled mixtures of plastics, predominantly thermoplastics, as predominantly produced in the household, in commerce and also in industry and useful material collections, can be stabilized against thermooxidative degradation by adding a combination of a sterically hindered phenol with an organic phosphite or phosphonite and an inorganic compound from the series consisting of metal oxides, hydroxides and carbonates.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a decorative plastic film for the surface treatment, in particular, of vehicle bodies and building facades. It has a micro- or nano-scale structure, in which micro-or nano-scale particles (4) are introduced in uniform shape, size, and orientation into a transparent polymer substrate (3), so that the optically perceptible effect is produced exclusively or largely by optical effects in the collective arrangement of the particles (4).

Abstract: New polymers comprising repeat units represented by the formula ##STR1## where R is a hydrogen or a halogen atom, a cyanide group or an alkyl group,R1, R2 and R3 are identical or different, and each denotes a hydrogen or a halogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or an alkoxycarbonyl group,R4 is a hydrogen atom or a divalent radical,A denotes the atoms required for completing a mononuclear or dinuclear aromatic ring system andm is 2 or 3,are used as binders in positive-working, radiation-sensitive recording materials.

Abstract: Compounds of the general formula I ##STR1## in which R is a hydrogen or halogen atom, a cyanide or an alkyl group having 1-4 carbon atoms andR.sub.1 is a hydrogen or halogen atom, nitro, alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, aryloxy, acyl or alkoxycarbonyl group,are prepared by esterifying two adjacent OH groups to give the cyclic carbonate, esterifying the free OH group with (meth)acrylic acid and selectively hydrolyzing the carbonate. The compounds are free of polyunsaturated impurities and can be used for preparing purely linear polymers.
