Abstract: The invention relates to a completely biodegradable hydrogel comprising polyester polyurethane polyurea containing urea groups as well as polysaccharides and/or their derivatives, the hydrogel containing plant material capable of dividing. The invention also relates to a process for the embedding of the biological material and the fabrication and shaping of the hydrogels from aqueous solutions. The hydrogels according to the invention may be used as coating material for embedding biological material capable of dividing, especially plant material, preferably plant cells, protoplasts, plant tissues and plant organs, as well as zygotic or somatic plant embryos, under sterile conditions for the purpose of protecting the material during storage, transport and handling. The hydrogels according to the invention may also contain further additives, for example, plant protection agents or nutrients. The embedded biological plant material according to the invention may be used as artificial seed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hexahydropyrazino-derivative-based anthelmintic pastes for horses, dogs and cats, which are characterized in that they comprise corn starch and glycerol in addition to the active compound.

Abstract: Thermoplastically moldable, biodegradable, starch-containing polymer blends consisting essentially ofA) 100 parts by weight of anhydrous starch,B) from 0.1 to 70 parts by weight of polyurethane containing urea groups and based on selected starting materials,C) from 0.5 to 70 parts by weight of a plasticizer component andD) from 2 to 20 parts by weight of water,a process for producing these blends by mixing the individual components in plastics processing machines and their use for producing moldings, films, fibers, coatings or laminates by thermoplastic processing.

Abstract: The use of dispersions of polyurethanes containing urea groups and based on selected starting materials, optionally via the intermediate stage of granules obtained by spray drying the dispersions, for the production of fully biodegradable shaped bodies.
