Abstract: The invention relates to carbon aerogels with particle sizes less than 1 ?m. The carbon aerogels are prepared by (A)reacting a mono- and/or polyhydroxybenzene, an aldehyde and a catalyst in a reactor at a reaction temperature T in the range from 75-200° C. at a pressure of 80-2400 kPa, (B) then spraying the reaction mixture from process step (A) into an acid, (C) drying the resulting product from process step (B) and (D) carbonizing it. The carbon aerogels according to the invention can be used as filler, reinforcing filler, UV stabilizer, electrode material, sound absorbents, thermal insulating material, catalyst, catalyst support, conductivity additive, absorbent for gas and/or liquid preparation or pigment.

Abstract: Ink jet inks comprising a modified pigment, wherein the modified pigment is a pigment having attached organic groups of substituted or unsubstituted 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acids and/or salts thereof.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a suspension containing: (a) at least one water-insoluble colorant, (b) at least one heterocyclic compound of the general formula 1 and (c) water and/or a mono- or polyhydric alcohol. The aqueous suspension is produced when the water-insoluble colorant and the heterocyclic compound of the formula 1 are dispersed in water and/or a mono- or polyhydric alcohol. The suspension is useful for producing waterborne inks, ink jet inks, coatings and solventborne printing inks.
