Abstract: Microcapsules which can be prepared at low temperatures contain walls composed of the product of an interface polyaddition and/or interface polycondensation reaction between a hydroxylamine and at least one component which is reactive with amino and alcohol groups. These microcapsules are advantageously used in the production of carbonless copying paper and thermal paper.

Abstract: Foamed microbeads with a shell and an encased core are characterized in that the shell is a reaction product of an NCO-containing carbodiimide and a polyamine, and the core is at least partly filled with a polymeric carbodiimide or its reaction product with a polyamine, and in that the foamed microbeads are self-supporting and can be laden with hydrophilic and if appropriate hydrophobic liquids.

Abstract: Microcapsules having a hydrophobic core material and capsule walls formed by the reaction of water-insoluble polyamines with water-soluble bisulphite adducts of polyisocyanates, a process for the production thereof which is characterized in that a mixture of a hydrophobic core material and water-insoluble polyamines is emulsified in water or in an aqueous protective colloid solution to the required particle size, water-soluble bisulphite adducts of polyisocyanates in the form of powders or aqueous solutions are added and the mixture is left to react to completion at temperatures of from 1.degree. to 140.degree. C., and applications thereof.

Abstract: A process for encapsulating products in a polymer by interfacial polymerization, in which a stabilized dispersion of droplets of a first liquid which is to be encapsulated or a stabilized dispersion of solid particles which are to be encapsulated is formed in a continuous phase of a second liquid, and wherein one of the two capsule wall-forming reaction components is present in free form while the other of the two capsule wall-forming reaction components is present in reversibly blocked form, both reaction components are present in the first or second liquid without reacting with one another and the reaction component which is present in reversibly blocked form is deblocked by means of water present in the second or first liquid and then reacts with the reaction component present in free form to form a polymeric capsule wall, the droplets of the first liquid or the solid particles being encapsulated in small capsules consisting of polymeric material.

Abstract: The invention relates to a pressure-sensitive, carbonless copying system and to a process for the production of pressure-sensitive, carbonless copying system wherein a non-aqueous, substantially solvent free printing ink containing micro-capsules which contain dye-precursors, is applied by wet and dry offset and book printing techniques to all or part of at least one surface of a paper substrate; and to printing inks comprising(1) binders, (2) microcapsules containing dye precursors, (3) spacers having a grain size of from 1.5 to 10 times the diameter of the microcapsules, and optionally auxiliaries and additives.

Abstract: Isocyanate adduct diols of the formulaM--CO--NH--D'--NH--CO--Ain which M is derived from an amino diol or a hydrazino diol, D' represents the divalent radical of an organic diisocyanate, and A is an isocyanate masking group; and a process for their production.

Abstract: Process for the production of solutions of segmented self-crosslinkable polyurethanes by incorporating in the polymer chain segments of the general formulaM--CO--NH--D'--NH--CO--A,wherein D' is the divalent residue of an organic diisocyanate; M is a diol containing residue derived by reaction of the active N-hydrogen of an aminodiol or a hydrazinodiol which contains a primary or secondary amino group, with an isocyanate group; and A is an isocyanate masking group.

Abstract: The invention relates to monomethylol ether diols corresponding to the formula ##STR1## in which R represents a straight-chain or branched alkylene radical having up to 12 carbon atoms, andR' represents an alkyl radical.
