Abstract

The invention relates to a process for producing a composite material for wound dressings, comprising the following steps: (I) providing a first film, having a first film surface and a second film surface running virtually parallel to the first film surface: (II) mixing an NCO-terminated polyurethane prepolymer with at least water to give a polyurethane prepolymer/water mixture, (III) applying the polyurethane prepolymer/water mixture to at least one part of the first film surface to form a layer, the layer having a first layer surface which is in contact with the first film via at least one part of the first film surface, and having a second layer surface which runs virtually parallel to the first layer surface; (IV) covering at least one part of the second layer surface with a further film, wherein the bond strength between the first film and the layer and also between the layer and the further film is greater in each case than the tensile strain at break of the layer. The invention further relates to a composite material produced by the process of the invention and also to a wound dressing comprising such a composite material and also to the use thereof in a wound dressing for improving the absorption of wound secretion and the distribution of secretion in the wound dressing.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of di- and polyamines of the diphenylmethane series (MDA) from aniline and formaldehyde, care being taken during the start up that a sufficient excess of aniline with respect to formaldehyde is ensured, said excess amounting to at least 105% of the desired molar ratio of aniline to formaldehyde for the target recipe of the MDA to be produced.

Abstract

In the production of a document, image information is incorporated into a plurality of layers of the document such that the pieces of image information are combined into a total image. The image information in at least two of the layers includes digital watermark information. The entirety of the digital watermark information in the at least two layers forms a security feature for an authentication of the document. The invention further relates to a respective document, a method for authentication, and a device for authentication.
