Abstract: The object of the invention is porous membranes (M) comprising organopolysiloxane/polyurea/polyurethane/polyamide/polyoxalyl diamine copolymers of the general formula (1), where R, X, Y, D, E, F, B, B?, m, n, a, b, c and d have the meanings indicated in claim 1, with the proviso that at least 10% of the RH groups present in structural elements E, F and bound to nitrogen indicate hydrogen, and a method for the production of the membranes (M) and use thereof for separating material mixtures.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of silane-modified polyvinyl alcohols for producing membranes, characterized in that the silane-modified polyvinyl alcohols can be obtained by a) radically initiated copolymerization of one or more vinyl esters from unbranched or branched carboxylic acids having 1 to 15 C-atoms and one or more ethylenically unsaturated silane compounds selected from the group comprising compounds of the general formulae CR2=CR—B—Si(OR?)3-n(R?)n (1), or CR2=CRC(?O)-D-B—Si(OR?)3-n(R?)n (2), wherein B is an aryl, heteroaryl or (CR2) m residue, wherein one or more non-neighboring CR2 groups can be replaced by heteroatoms as applicable, D is a heteroatom, R is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or aryl residue or a heteroatom that is substituted as applicable by a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aryl residue, OR is an alkoxy, alkylcarboxy or arylcarboxy residue, R? is an alkyl or aryl residue and n 0, 1 or 2 and in 0 to 15, and b) subsequent saponification of the silane-modified vinyl ester copolymerizate obtain

Abstract: Thin porous moldings of silicone copolymers, suitable for use as membranes in separation processes, are prepared by forming a solution or suspension of silicone copolymer in two solvents L1 and L2, casting the suspension or solution, and removing solvent L1 to form a silicone copolymer rich phase A, effecting structure formation, and then removing solvent L2 and residues of solvent L2 to form a thin porous molding.

Abstract: Solid particles bearing zwitterionic functional groups exhibit properties unlike other functionalized particles, and are particularly useful as proton-conductive fillers in membranes for fuel cells, where they increase physical properties as well as charge conducting properties. The particles are prepared by reacting functionalized particles with zwitterionic group-containing silanes or siloxanes.
