Abstract: The present invention refers to silica particles functionalized with one or more silanes comprising a terminal group enabling a condensation reaction with the silica particles' surface, and at least one further terminal group for the modification of the silica particles' properties. The invention also relates to a process for the functionalization of silica particles by silanes, silanes as applied for the functionalization of the silica particles according to the invention, a process for the functionalization of silica by silanes, silica particles comprising a functional group, the use of the silica particles according to the invention, and coating compositions comprising the silica particles according to the invention.

Abstract: An asymmetrically substituted polyorganosiloxane comprising at least one or more siloxane blocks and different reactive groups at each end of the siloxane chain, e.g. an alkoxysilyl, alkenyl, epoxy, hydroxyaromatic or an ionic substituent. Each polyorganosiloxane block has substantially a monomodal chain length distribution and is suitable for the use as a surface modifying agent for organic or inorganic particles, as a surface active material, and/or as a compatibilizer in compositions having more two or more non-miscible phases.

Abstract: Decorative composite body containing a plate-like carrier body made of plastics material, and at least one decorative element fixed in the carrier body, wherein the carrier body consists at least regionally of a fibre-reinforced plastics material, and wherein the decorative element is cohesively bonded to melted or at least partially liquefied and resolidified plastics material of the plate-like carrier body, and wherein that side of the carrier body on which the at least one decorative element is arranged, is additionally provided with a film, preferably made of PMMA, and/or with a cover plate, preferably made of PMMA.

Abstract: Described herein is a module for covering a surface with vegetation. The module comprises a drainage board having an upper surface for supporting a growth medium. The drainage board has a plurality of moisture receptacles extending downwardly from the upper surface for collecting moisture. The module also comprises a plurality of sidewalls having a multiplicity of apertures therethrough. Each sidewall is coupled to the drainage board and extends upwardly therefrom. The sidewalls cooperate with each other so as to provide a perimeter for surrounding the growth medium. The module may also include other features. For example, the sidewalls may be pivotally coupled to the drainage board (e.g. along a living hinge), the module may include couplers for securing adjacent modules together, the sidewalls may include a reinforcing rib, the drainage board may include an opening for receiving an irrigation nozzle therein, and there may be edging for covering the sidewalls.
