Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of an alkyl benzene by catalytic dehydrogenation of the corresponding alkenyl cyclohexene in the gas phase in the presence of a diluent. A characteristic feature is that at least a part of the alkyl cyclohexane in the reaction product is used as a diluent. Hydrogen can be used as an additional diluent according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the dimerization of a conjugated diene using an iron triad metal nitrosyl halide, in combination with a reducing agent, as catalyst. The process is characterized in that the dimerization is carried out in the presence of nitrogen monoxide (NO). The invention is of interest in particular for the dimerization of butadiene to 4-vinyl cyclohexene.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a binder composition for powder coatings for use as a top coat in the automotive industry. The invention also relates to top-coated automotive substrates. The binder composition includes a polyester containing hydroxyl groups and a polyacrylate containing hydroxyl groups and a blocked hexamethylenediisocyanate trimer. The polyester has a hydroxyl number of between 20 and 100 mg KOH/g resin and an acid number of less than 10 mg KOH/g resin and the polyacrylate has a hydroxyl number of between 40 and 150 mg KOH/g resin and an acid number of less than 20 mg KOH/g resin. The trimer is blocked with 1,2,4-triazole.
Abstract:
A polymer composition comprising a mixture of a crystalline or semi-crystalline polyolefin A and a polymer B based on vinyl-aromatic and dicarboxylic acid anhydride monomer units. The polymer B is chemically crosslinked with a compound which contains at least two functional groups which are able to react with the dicarboxylic acid anhydride group of the polymer B; polymer B can also be physically crosslinked.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic polymer composition comprising a thermoplastic polyester and a polymer containing vinylaromatic monomer units and dicarboxylic acid anhydride monomer units and/or imide compounds derived therefrom, having a molecular weight of 30,000 - 200,000 g/mol, which contains at least 1 % by weight of spirodilactone monomer units. The polymer composition has improved impact strength.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an ionic dispersing agent which can be used in aqueous dispersions. The dispersing agent is an oblong molecular structure chosen from the group consisting of fatty acid derivatives, polymers or oligomers. The dispersing agent is based on a polymer or an oligomer having a molecular weight (Mn) of between 100 and 5000. The dispersions which are obtained using the dispersing agent are used in coating compositions.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a copolymer of at least one lactone and at least one cyclic carbonate, the carbonate being polycyclic. This makes it possible to obtain cross-linked copolymers. The mechanical properties of objects obtained with these are considerably better than the mechanical properties of objects on the basis of non-cross-linked copolymers. The material is tough - in particular the tensile strength is higher -, impact resistant, less crystalline than non-cross-linked copolymer and it is biodegradable.
Abstract:
Composition based on a thermosetting resin and cellulose fibres, whereby the cellulose fibres consist of microfibrils with a length/diameter ratio (aspect ratio) of at least 50, a length of at least 0.5 mu m and a crystallinity of at least 60 %, which fibres comprise large crystalline zones. Compounds according to the invention can be used to produce objects for applications in for example the automotive, aerospace, telematics and acoustics industries, in interiors, sanitary equipment etc.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a package for incorporating an integrated circuit comprising a plate (1) substantially consisting of a plastic and of electrically conductive material, which plate is at least partly provided with an upright side with at least one contact point, characterized in that the upright side contains a plastic, while the electrically conductive material is applied in the form of layers (3, 4) on the plate and on the upright sides. Such a package no longer has a separate lead frame, so that the pin count is no longer limited by the lead frame. Further, owing to the design of the package, thermal fatigue is no longer critical. The packages are suited for incorporating integrated circuits and other discrete parts and/or electronic components. The packages are highly suited for stacked applications such as memory modules. The invention also relates to the process for producing such packages. The packages can be produced using an injection moulding technique, or using a mechanical and/or thermal/mechanical moulding technique in combination with a technique for applying the electrically conductive material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of 2-N-acylaminopyridines of formula (1), where R1 and R5 = an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group or a heteroaryl group, R2, R3 and R4 = hydrogen, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, a heteroaryl group, an alkyl group or a cycloalkyl group and R1 and R2 can together form a cycloalkyl group, which are prepared by treating a 5-oxoalkanenitrile oxime of formula (2), where R1 through R4 have the meanings given above, in the presence of a strong acid, with an acylating agent that contains at least on R5 group with the meaning given above. The invention moreover relates to a process for the preparation of 2-aminopyridines of formula (3), where R1 through R4 have the meanings given above, from said 2-N-acylaminopyridines. The invention moreover relates to the 5-oxoalkanenitrile oximes of formula (2), including those where R1 = H and R2 is an acyl group, the 2-N-acylaminopyridines of formula (1), and the 2-aminopyridines of formula (3).
