Abstract: The present invention relates to a coarsely divided microcapsule preparation with particles whose particle sizes are in the range from 200 ?m to 5 cm, comprising microcapsules with a capsule core of latent heat storage material and a thermosetting polymer as capsule wall and one or more polymeric binders whose binder polymer has thermoplastic properties and film-forming properties under processing conditions, where the binder content, calculated as solid, is 1-30% by weight, based on the total weight of the coarsely divided microcapsule preparation.

Abstract: In an arrangement for operating television-technological apparatuses, operating and display elements can be represented on a screen. The screen is provided with a touch-sensitive input field. The respective value of at least one quantity to be set is represented graphically. The at least one quantity to be set can be set by touching the input field in a touch region enclosing the representation and moving the touch point in a direction corresponding to the change in the quantity to be set.

Abstract: The bipolar plate for PEM fuel cells made of a polymer blend which is filled with conductivity-enhancing carbon fillers and which includes at least two mutually nonmiscible blend polymers, is distinguished by the fact that the at least two blend polymers form a co-continuous structure and the carbon fillers are at a higher concentration in one of the blend polymers or in the phase between the blend polymers, or that a blend polymer in which the carbon fillers are at a higher concentration forms a continuously conductive matrix in which the at least one further blend polymer is intercalated.

Abstract: Emulsifier-free antifoams are obtainable by mixing a) from 80 to 99% by weight of at least one finely divided, virtually water-insoluble, inert solid with b) from 1 to 20% by weight of at least one hydrophobic, organic compound which has an antifoam action and is solid at room temperature in the absence of a solvent in a shear gradient such that the particle size of the compounds (b) which have an antifoam action is reduced to a mean particle size of from 0.5 to 15 ?m, emulsifier-free oil-in-water dispersions of mixtures of (a) and (b) are prepared by mixing the component (a) in an amount of from 80 to 99% by weight with the compounds of component (b) in an amount of from 1 to 20% by weight in the absence of emulsifiers in an extruder or kneader in a manner such that the mean particle size of the component (b) in the mixture is brought to 0.5 to 15 ?m, at up to 100° C.
