Abstract: The present invention relates to functionalized copolymer rubbers containing nitrile groups and to the preparation thereof, to vulcanizable mixtures comprising functionalized copolymer rubbers containing nitrile groups and to the preparation thereof, and to vulcanizates based on functionalized copolymer rubbers containing nitrile groups, to the preparation thereof and to the use thereof as technical material.

Abstract: The glass tube assembly has an outer glass tube provided with a tapered section and an inner glass tube or rod, which is arranged inside of the outer glass tube and which has a spiral section. The tapered section is formed by one or more projections on the inner surface of the outer glass tube. Each projection extends in a longitudinal direction of the outer glass tube and does not extend around its entire circumference. The internal width of the tapered section is smaller than the outside diameter of the spiral section of the inner glass tube or rod, so that the inner glass tube or rod is reliably prevented from slipping or rotating out of the outer glass tube by its spiral section. A method of making the glass tube assembly is also described.

Abstract: A method for fixing the location of a glass rod spiral (5) in a glass tube (2) for applications for the process treatment of a gas flow, wherein the glass rod spiral comprises a spiral-shaped glass tube or glass rod section (5) with a specified outside diameter (W), in which method the glass tube (2) is provided on its internal surface with at least one projection (3) not extending around its full circumference, so that a tapered section of glass tube with a specified internal width (w) is formed to be smaller than the specified outside diameter (W) of the glass tube or glass rod spiral. The projection extends in the longitudinal direction of the glass tube and has a length that is greater than the pitch of the spiral glass tube or glass rod section (5).
