Compound of Formula (1); wherein: Z.sup.w is an organic radical comprising w amino groups, in which w is a number and 5w3,000; A and B are independently oxy-C.sub.1-C.sub.20-alkylene carbonyl groups or oxy-C.sub.2-C.sub.20-alkenylene carbonyl groups derived from hydroxy carboxylic acids or lactones; T is hydrogen or RCO, where R is a C.sub.1-C.sub.50 hydrocarbyl group; Y is a C.sub.3-C.sub.4-alkylene radical linked to an amino group of Z.sup.w; Y is an ionic salt link between an amino group of Z.sup.w and the terminal carbonyl of (A).sub.r-(B).sub.p-T; r and p are independently numbers between 0 and 50 and r+p>2; s, m and v are numbers; 0.99ws+m2w; and 0.3ws+v2w are suitable as dispersants and milling aids. ##STR00001##

An amine which can be used in epoxy resin compositions that cure at room temperature. The amine dilutes the composition highly effectively, allows rapid, trouble-free curing, even in cold and damp conditions, and reduces brittleness. The amine is particularly suitable as a constituent of a curing agent for low-emission epoxy resin compositions that cure at room temperature, in particular for floor coverings.

Compounds according to Formulas 1-33 may be useful in electronic devices such as light-emitting devices. For example, they may be used as hole-transport materials.

A hydrophobic cationic steroidal anti-microbial (ceragenin) compound forms an amphiphilic compound having a hydrophobic sterol face and a hydrophilic cationic face. The hydrophobic CSA also includes a hydrophobic substituent that gives the ceragenin compound a C Log P value of at least 6.0, 6.25, 6.5, 7.5, 8.5, or 10.

A metal-supported nonwoven fabric is provided which enables effective synthesis of a target product when used as a catalyst in a flow reaction. The metal-supported nonwoven fabric comprises a nonwoven fabric containing polyolefin fibers or PET fibers, and metal particles. The nonwoven fabric has grafted side chains bound thereto formed of polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, or a polymer containing functional groups with unshared electron pairs. The metal particles are supported by the grafted side chains via pyrrolidone groups of the polyvinylpyrrolidone, carboxy groups of the polyacrylic acid, or the functional groups with unshared electron pairs.
