Abstract: Polymer electrolytes and process for their preparation

Abstract: The invention relates to biodegradable polycondensates, to the production of said polycondensates, and to their use for releasing specific substances. The polycondensates are derived from at least three components chosen from the following group: a) dianhydrohexites b) bivalent (polyvalent) organic carboxylic acids and c) polyvalent organic carboxylic acids which, in addition to two carboxylic acid functions, have at least one other, optionally capped, i.e., OH and/or COOH function.

Abstract: Proton conductors comprising from 1 to 99% by weight of an acid and from 99 to 1% by weight of a nonaqueous amphoteric material which are thermally stable from −50° C. to 400° C. and have a proton conductivity of ≧10−5 S/cm. The invention further relates to membranes comprising the proton conductors of the invention, processes for preparing the membranes and their use in electrochromic cells, secondary batteries and electrochromic displays.

Abstract: A process for producing laminates which contain at least one centrally arranged, ion-conductive membrane which is, at least over a substantial part of its two mutually opposite flat faces, electrically conductively bonded to at least one catalytically active substance and to at least one two-dimensional, gas-permeable, electron-conductive contacting material, the bonding of at least two of the said components having been effected by lamination. The process comprises carrying out the bonding of the ion-conductive membrane, of the catalytically active substance and of the electron-conductive contacting material continuously. The ion-conductive membrane is brought together with at least the electron-conductive contacting material in the exact position by means of transport and feeding devices and the two components are laminated and bonded to one another by pressing them together. The range of variation in the a.c. resistances of the laminates produced by the process according to the invention is ±10%.

Abstract: A polymer composition comprising a crystallisable polymer stabilised in an amorphous or incompletely crystalline state by forming particles at least partly coated with a surfactant or phospholipid and to processes for preparing a such a polymer composition.

Abstract: Fiber materials are modified with a polyalkyleneimine polymer at crosslinking agent, preferably glyoxal, and optionally dyed with water-soluble, anionic dyes, preferably reactive dyes. The dyeing process with fiber materials modified according to the invention can be carried out low-salt or completely without salt and also alkali-free or using only minimal amounts of alkali.
