A tubular casing that is capable of receiving a product therein in an outstretched state, said casing comprising:

Casing for individually packed products

A film including semi-crystalline cycloolefin copolymers which have a content of catalyst residues of &lt;100 ppm and their use as capacitor films, reproduction films, film keyboards and film switches, substrates for liquid crystal displays and packaging films.

Semi-crystalline cycloolefin copolymer film

A device and process useful for producing a plurality of individual film composites is disclosed. A temperature-controllable roll serves as a sealing tool, on the circumferential surface of which a number of plastic film webs are sealed together under the application of pressure and heat. The plastic film webs come into contact with the circumferential surface of the roll at equal or varying distances from each other and are guided over pressure rolls. These pressure rolls contact the circumferential surface of the temperature controllable roll under pressure. The plastic film webs pass through the contact areas between the pressure rolls and the temperature controllable roll. The plastic film webs are provided on one or both sides with sealing layers, which are fused by the action of heat, so that sealing of the superposed laminated plastic film webs on the circumferential surface of the temperature controllable roll occurs. No sealing layers are present at least between two superposed plastic film webs, so that the film composite can be separated at the sealing layer-free surfaces of these plastic film webs into individual composites along a partial circumference of a separating roll.

Device for producing multiple individual composites having two or more

A temperature-controllable roller 1 is used as the sealing tool, on whose circumferential surface a plurality of plastic film webs are sealed together under the action of heat and pressure. The plastic film webs, which are conveyed about compression rolls, run at equal or different mutual distances onto the circumferential surface of the temperature-controllable roller. These compression rolls rest against the circumferential surface of the temperature-controllable roller and exert pressure onto the latter. The webs of plastic film run through the contact nips between the compression rolls and the temperature-controllable roller. The plastic film webs are provided on one or both sides with sealing layers, which are incipiently melted by the action of heat, so that a sealing of the plastic film webs in layers one on top of the other occurs on the circumferential surface of the temperature-controllable roller.

Process for producing a multilayered film composite from thermoplastic,

Along a plane sealing zone, a number of plastic film webs are sealed together under pressure and heat application. The plastic film webs run at equal or different distances from one another into the sealing zone and are guided over compression rolls. Between the compression rolls, which lie opposite each other in pairs, the plastic film webs are introduced and subjected to both pressure and heat. The plastic film webs are provided on one or both sides with sealing layers, which are incipiently melted by the action of heat, so that a sealing of the plastic film webs in layers one on top of the other occurs in the sealing zone.

Process for producing a multilayered film composite from coextruded

Transparent thermoplastic molding compound and use thereof

A device and method of producing a multi-layer film composite is provided. In accordance with the device and method, a temperature-controllable or heatable roll serves as a sealing tool, on the circumferential surface of which a number of plastic film webs are sealed together under the application of pressure and heat. The plastic film webs come into contact with the circumferential surface of the roll at equal or varying distances from each other and are guided over pressure rolls. These pressure rolls are in contact with the circumferential surface of the heatable roll under pressure. The plastic film webs pass through the gaps between the pressure rolls and the heatable roll. The plastic film webs are alternately sealing layer-free or provided on one or both sides with sealing layers, which are fused by the action of heat, so that sealing of the laminated plastic film webs on the circumferential surface of the heatable roll occurs.

Device and process for producing a multi-layer film composite

A detector for detecting invisible radiation and charged particles is composed of at least one radiation-absorbing panel and at least one optical waveguide arranged parallel to the surface of said panel and containing a fluorescent dyestuff. The luminescent light produced in the panel by the absorbed radiation is converted into a fluorescent radiation in the optical waveguide conducted to a photosensitive semiconductor component by total reflection and measured at that point.

Radiation detector

An apparatus for the continuous production of composite laminate bodies including panels and cylindrical pipes comprises a frame, a laminating mold, a sheet supply roller, a movable pressure roller, at least two preheating rollers and a heating device, wherein the pressure roller, preheating roller and heating device are mounted on the frame, the laminating mold is movable and is adjacent to the frame to form a laminating gap, and the heating device is provided near the laminating gap, so that the sheet travels from the sheet supply roller to the preheating rollers and then to the laminating gap where the sealing material on the sheet surface is heat melted just before being pressed against the laminating mold. By successive lamination of layers of sheet material over the last sheet of material or last section of film by selectively melting the sealing coating on the contact surface of the sheet of material with the heating device just prior to pressing the sheet of material against the laminating mold, an improved composite body having the desired level of thickness with improved load bearing capacity is obtained with increased time efficiency and substantial reductions in potential damages to the product. A process for producing composite bodies from layers of laminated sheets is also disclosed.

Apparatus for producing composite bodies from layers of plastic flim

Process for producing an optical coupler for polymer optical waveguides by arranging the optical waveguides in the same sense and bundling them by means of a plastic shrink-on sleeve. In this process, two to 10.sup.5 polymer optical waveguides are arranged in the same sense and bundled and a plastic tube is put over the mixing region. Then a piece of plastic shrink-on sleeve is pushed over the plastic tube and the shrink-on sleeve is heated to a temperature at which it contracts. The shrinkage temperature of the shrink-on sleeve is inside the thermoelastic temperature range of the plastic tube. The optical waveguide bundle may be stretched during or after heating.

A light detector consists of a plate-like light-absorbing body and at least one optical waveguide connected thereto. Both parts of the light detector contain a fluorescent dye, whereby the irradiated light is converted into a fluorescence radiation. This radiation is guided by total reflection to a light-sensitive semiconductor element and is measured there. The light detector is suitable as light barrier, fiber-optic revolution counter or UV detector.

Optical waveguides of very good heat resistance and good light conductivity are composed of polymers which are derived from halogenated phenyl acrylates or phenyl methacrylates.

Core/shell optical waveguides with cores comprising halogenated phenyl

Mechanically robust star couplers of polymer optical waveguides having low insertion losses and small fluctuations between the individual output fibers are obtained if polymer optical waveguides are arranged in parallel in the middle region of an apparatus and fused with one another under pressure and with the supply of heat. The optical cladding of the polymer optical waveguides has been previously removed. The method is easy and cost-effective. The apparatus is composed of a lower part with a channel recessed therein and an upper part with a male die located therein, which male die corresponds in its shape to the shape of the channel.

A transparent material of very good heat resistance and very good light conductivity is essentially composed of a polymer derived mainly from bromophenyl acrylates or bromophenyl methacrylates.

Transparent polymer material

Channels in which polymeric optical waveguides can be laid can be milled in surfaces of plastic sheets by means of an excimer laser. The free space between the optical waveguides is filled up with a transparent casting resin. The channels produced by means of the laser are distinguished by high dimensional accuracy and low surface roughness.
