Abstract: Binder systems for high-gloss coatings and processes for producing them are provided, where the binder systems are prepared by preparing an aqueous polymer dispersion by radically initiated aqueous emulsion polymerization using defined first and second polymerization stages wherein the weight ratio of the sum of the total amounts of first polymerization stage monomers A1 to C1 (total monomer amount 1) to the sum of the total amounts of second polymerization stage monomers A2 to C2 (total monomer amount 2) is in the range 5:95 to 70:30, the amount of chain transfer agent in the second polymerization stage is selected such that the resulting overall polymer has a weight-average molecular weight of ?15 000 and ?50 000 g/mol, and the amount of the dispersing assistant is ?3.0 wt %, based on the sum of total monomer amount 1 and total monomer amount 2 (total monomer amount).

Abstract: Coating compositions containing an aqueous polymer dispersion having improved resistance toward chemicals. The aqueous polymer dispersion is prepared by polymerizing a first composition containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group (monomers) by radical aqueous emulsion polymerization and then, in the presence of a product mixture from the previous polymerization, polymerizing a second composition containing at least one ethylenically unsaturated group (monomers) by radical aqueous emulsion polymerization. The coating compositions are such that the difference between a glass transition temperature of a polymer prepared from the first polymerization and a glass transition temperature of a polymer prepared from the second polymerization is at least 50° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of in vivo determination of enzyme activity. It also allows visualization of organisms, organs, tissues and cells. In particular, the present invention provides a method of in vivo visualization and a composition suitable for in vivo determination and/or visualization of enzyme activity by methods such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging, also called Magnetic Resonance Tomography (MRI or MRT), or Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). In particular, the activity of the enzyme lipoprotein lipase affects the signals received and allows conclusions on the lipid metabolism of an organism, an organ system, an organ, a tissue and a cell of interest, This method can be employed, e.g., for diagnosis of cardiac disorders, of tumor prognosis and of disorders of the lipid metabolism. The composition used comprises superparamagnetic iron oxide nanocrystals (SPIO) incorporated in the core of lipid micelles designated nanosomes.
