Abstract: This invention relates to a process for carrying out reactions which primarily occur during the transport of compounds in the liquid phase or at the liquid-gas interface. Starting components are reacted with one another and/or with gases of the inner space in a multi-phase flow tube having a liquid ring flow which may contain dissolved and/or dispersed constituents. Any necessary heat exchange takes place between the liquid and the wall of the tube or the gases.

Abstract: A graft polymer is obtained from a completely broken latex of an acrylate rubber which is suspended in water and from copolymerisable monomers, in the absence of a suspending agent, which graft polymer may be distributed in thermoplastic polyesters to form particles having a relatively small average diameter.

Abstract: Polyalkylene terephthalates containing 0.5-30% by weight of monomeric aliphatic carboxylic acid esters have a higher crystallization speed and thus allow lower mold temperatures and shorter injection cycles. The polyalkylene terephthalates generally have intrinsic viscosities in excess of about 0.4 dl/g in 1:1 phenol tetrachloroethane at 25.degree. C. and are at least about 90 mol % terephthalic acid based. The ester additive is based on aliphatic cycloaliphatic or araliphatic carboxylic acids, with sebacic and adipic being preferred, and aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic alcohols.Faster crystallization rates can be imparted to polyalkylene terephthalates by mixing them with the ester additive and melt homogenizing the mixture.
