Abstract: Optically transparent polymeric solid electrolytes comprising a polymeric binder, a filler, a conductive salt, an ion-solvating plasticizer and, if desired, further additives and auxiliaries, a process for the preparation of solid electrolytes of this type, by compounding and thermoplastic shaping, and their use in electrochromic systems and displays.

Abstract: A molding, preferably a film-like molding, is produced by a process which comprises the following stage:

Abstract: Continuous recovery of raw materials from coated films and apparatus for this purpose and film material recovered therewith. Large amounts of coated films can be fed to a continuous recycling process in which any pigments present in the coating and the substrate material are recovered. The treatment is carried out at room temperature in an alkaline medium consisting of soft soap, organic solvent and/or water, with or without the use of a catalyst. The solvent is recycled. After the first treatment stage, the film shreds can be treated in a second stage with a solvent/water mixture similarly to the first stage, and thorough final washing in a water or solvent circulation is effected in a third stage. The recovered film shreds are dried, pressed, milled and brought to the desired shape in a plastics agglomerator, and the recovered pigments are dried under reduced pressure (FIG. 1).
