The present invention describes synthesis and properties of cellulose based biodegradable hydrophobic mulch film for agricultural applications. The invented method can also be used to obtain an highly hydrophobic mulch film. Cellulose, the most abundant natural polymer is chemically modified to make bio-degradable, mulch films that are partially air permeable but water impermeable. The water impermeability can be changed by varying the processing conditions. The film can be multi-functional; that is besides providing the water impermeability the film can also be customized to adjust the pH of soil and to deliver herbicides or fertilizers to the soil. Other lignocellulosic materials or different combinations of synthetic fibers, fabrics or polymers and cellulose materials including newsprint can also be used to make the biodegradable hydrophobic film. Additionally, the invention can be used to make biodegradable extremely hydrophobic self-cleaning products for other hydrophobic applications such as packaging materials or disposable water-proof clothing.

An impregnating resin, e.g., a catalytically hardenable impregnating resin for the conductor of an electrical machine, may include at least one reactive resin mixed with at least one reactive diluent and a hardening catalyst, e.g., for cationic, anionic or coordinate polymerization of the impregnating resin. The properties of the impregnating resin or use thereof may be improved by virtue of the reactive diluent containing a heterocyclic four-membered ring. The impregnating resin may be part of a main insulation of a conductor arrangement, which may in turn be installed in an electrical coil or other electrical machine.
