A fluidic system that includes at least one channel for the transport of a liquid, the channel being formed of an absorbent material; and at least one switchable polymer gel that functions as a storage reservoir and/or valve for the liquid and is in contact with the absorbent material of the channel.

Fluidic system

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergent power of detergents and cleaning products, in particular with respect to soiling containing oil and/or grease. For this purpose, copolymers including ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid-derived sulfobetaine units and hydroxyalkyl(meth)acrylic acid esters are incorporated into the products.

Detergents and cleaning products containing a polymer active ingredient

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergent power of detergents and cleaning products, in particular with respect to soiling containing oil and/or grease. For this purpose, polymers comprising N-vinyl imidazole-derived betaine units are incorporated into the products.

Detergents and cleaning products including a polymer active ingredient

The aim of the invention is to improve the primary detergency of detergents and cleaning agents, in particular with respect to soils containing oil and/or grease. This is substantially achieved by the incorporation of polymers which can be obtained by the copolymerization of N-vinylpyrrolidone with ethylenically unsaturated compounds that have an amide function, said polymers having an aggregation parameter X, where X&#x3e;1 mN/m.

Polymer active ingredients which improve primary detergent power

The invention relates to a culture substrate having thermoresponsive microgel particles that have a thermoresponsive polymer and modulator particles fixed to the carrier area of the substrate. The modulator can be a substance that has an adhesion capability with biological cells or a substance that causes cellular reactions that are inducible to binding to surface receptors of biological cells. Methods for preparation and use in culturing cells are given.

Thermoresponsive substrate with microgels, method for its preparation and culture method for biological cells

The primary washing power of washing and cleaning agents was to be improved, in particular with respect to oil- and/or fat-containing stains. This was achieved substantially by the incorporation of polymers that derive from N,N-dimethylacrylamide.

Polymeric agents that improve primary washing efficiency

The invention relates to an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising an anionic water-soluble dispersion polymer comprising in polymerized form a monomer mixture comprising (i) one or more anionic monomers, (ii) a first non-ionic vinyl monomer which is acrylamide, and (iii) at least one second non-ionic vinyl monomer; a water-soluble salt and a stabilizer, wherein the water soluble salt is present in an amount of at least 2.0% by weight, based on the total weight of the dispersion. The invention further relates to a process for producing the aqueous polymer dispersion, use of the aqueous polymer dispersion as a flocculating agent in papermaking or for water purification, and a process for producing paper which comprises adding one or more drainage and retention aids comprising the aqueous polymer dispersion to an aqueous suspension containing cellulosic fibers and then dewatering the obtained suspension.

Polymer dispersion

Described is the use of polymers with a high refractive index for ophthalmic products and a process for the production thereof.

Polymer composition having a high refractive index

The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polymer dispersion comprising polymerising one or more water soluble anionic monomers (m) and one or more non-ionic vinyl monomers (m) present in a reaction mixture further comprising a polymeric stabiliser (B) and a polymeric co-stabiliser (C). It further relates to a polymer dispersion, the use of the polymer dispersion and a process for producing paper.

Process for preparing a polymer dispersion and a polymer dispersion

The invention relates to a process for preparing an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising reacting, in the presence of a polymeric cationic co-stabilizer (A), one or more monomers (m), and a polymer (B) of a monomer mixture comprising at least one monomer (x) having a primary, secondary or tertiary amine or amide group and at least one olefinic unsaturation, and, at least one cationic monomer (y) having at least one olefinic unsaturation. The invention also relates to a polymer dispersion, a process for preparing a polymeric stabilizer (C), a polymeric stabilizer (C) and a process for producing paper.
