Abstract: The use of arylsulphonyl hydrazones corresponding to the following general formula:Ar (SO.sub.2 --NH--N.dbd.R).sub.x (I)whereinAr represents a benzene, naphthalene, diphenyl, diphenyl ether, diphenyl sulphone or diphenylene oxide radical which may be substituted by methyl and/or chlorine;R represents the radical of an aldehyde or ketone without the carbonyl oxygen atom; andx represents 1 or 2;as blowing agents for the production of cellular or porous plastics articles.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to stabilizer compositions or thermoplastic polycarbonates based on phosphites and siloxane-oxetane compounds. These stabilizers protect the polycarbonate against heat and oxidative degradation, and in addition, increase the hydrolysis resistance of the polycarbonate. The present invention is also directed to a process for stabilizing polycarbonate and to the stabilized polycarbonate produced therefrom.

Abstract: Curing of plastic material or rubber for use as electrical insulation is effected by mixing with the plastic or rubber composition 0.1 to 25 weight percent of a crosslinking agent and subjecting the resulting mixture to a UHF electric field. The crosslinking agent used has the characteristic of being excited by the UHF electric field to produce radicals which effect crosslinking of the plastic or rubber composition and of decomposing or combining with the plastic or rubber in the crosslinking process to form decomposition or reaction products which are not excited by an alternating current electric field. Hence, the crosslinking agent does not adversely affect the electrical insulating characteristics of the crosslinked material even when used for insulating alternating current circuits. The composition is free of conventional fillers such as carbon black which retain their electrical activity.
