Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of at least one heterocyclic compound of the formula (I) in which P is H or C1-C3-alkyl as a frictional wear-reducing additive in fuel compositions; to corresponding additized fuel compositions and their preparation; and to additive concentrates which comprise such compounds.

Abstract: Crystalline ascorbate, in particular choline ascorbate in the form of crystals free from water of crystallization, processes for its preparation, and its used are described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polymers which comprise, as monomeric building blocks, (poly)alkylene oxide-substituted diallylamines, ethylenically unsaturated monomers B, and, if appropriate, one or more further ethylenically unsaturated monomers and, if appropriate, crosslinkers, and to the use thereof as additives in cosmetic preparations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture comprising a surfactant and a cosurfactant, the cosurfactant being an amphiphilic polymer having one or more hydrophobic subunits (A) and one or more hydrophilic subunits (B), wherein one or more hydrophobic subunits (A) have been formed on the basis of a polyisobutene block whose polyisobutene macromolecules have terminal double bonds to an extent of at least 50 mol %.

Abstract: A mixture comprising a surfactant and a cosurfactant is proposed, wherein the cosurfactant used is an amphiphilic polymer with the structural formula in which A? is an unbranched or branched alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radical having 1 to 60 carbon atoms, Y is S or O, A is a structural unit with the formula in which R1, R2, R3 and R4 independently of one another, are the substituents hydrogen, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, octyl or phenyl, m is a running number in the range from 10 to 200, X is a structural unit with the formula in which the substituents R1, R2, R3 and R4 are the same as in the structural unit A, q=0 or q=1, B is a monomeric subunit based on ethylene oxide or a mixture of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, n is a running number in the range from 20 to 500 and p=q+1.

Abstract: A mixture comprising a surfactant and a cosurfactant is proposed wherein the cosurfactant used is an amphiphilic comb polymer having a backbone with two or more side chains attached to the backbone, where the side chains differ from one another and/or the side chains differ from the backbone in their amphiphilic character.

Abstract: Water-soluble or water-dispersible polymers comprising alkoxylated diallylamine derivatives, ethylenically unsaturated mono- or dicarboxylic acids, the anhydrides thereof or mixtures thereof and, if required, one or more further ethylenically unsaturated monomers C are prepared and are used as additives in mineral building materials, in detergents or in cosmetic formulations.
