Abstract: Described are processes for the production of silver nanowires comprising forming a reaction mixture including a polyol, an organic chemical adsorbed to a silver surface, a chemical to form a halide and/or pseudohalide and a chemical which forms a redox pair. A silver salt is added to the reaction mixture and temperature is maintained to form the silver nanowires.

Abstract: A yarn that is electrically conductive, that can be elongated considerably, at least briefly, without loss of conductivity, and that exhibits improved elongation properties.

Abstract: Process for removing deposits from water-carrying systems and devices for water supply, or from their individual parts, in which the deposits are dissolved by means of an aqueous treatment solution and removed in dissolved form from the system or the device or their individual parts, wherein the deposits are dissolved by means of an aqueous treatment solution comprised of a combination of (i) a reducing agent, in particular in the form of a slat-like, reducing sulfur-oxygen compound, nitrogen-oxygen compound or phosphorous-oxygen compound, and (ii) a complexing agent having phosphonic acid groups or phosphonate groups or a complexing agent of the hydroxy acid type at pH values in the range of approximately 4.5 to 9.5, in particular from approximately 6.0 to 8.0.
