Abstract: Es wird ein Kapselspannring zur Implantation in die entleerte Kapsel der menschlichen Augenlinse beschrieben, der einer Schrumpfung des Kapselsacks dauerhaft dadurch entgegenwirken kann, dass er nach der Implantation versteifbar ist. Der -wie zur Implantation erforderlich- offene Ring ist so gestaltet, dass er im Augeninneren verschweisst werden kann. Zu diesem Zweck müssen sich die offene Enden berühren, die Berührungstelle muss durch die Pupillaröffnung sichtbar und somit für den Laser erreichbar sein, und die Farbe des Materials und die Oberflächengeometrie müssen so gestaltet sein, dass sich beim Bestrahlen mit dem Laser lokal umschriebene, ineinanderfliessende Schmelzzonen ausbilden können.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facilitated transport membrane for separation
of alkene hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon mixtures, comprising a porous supported
membrane and a transition metal salt-polymer membrane consisting of a transition
metal and a polymer, in which the transition metal salt does not chemically react with
the polymer but physically dispersed within the polymer which has no functional group
capable of forming a complex with the transition metal salt. The facilitated transport
membrane according to the present invention is prepared by forming a solid transition
metal salt-polymer membrane consisting of a transition metal salt and a polymer
capable of dispersing the transition metal salt on the molecular scale; and coating the
solid membrane on a porous supported membrane with good permeance and superior
mechanical strength. In particular, the polymer matrix allows the transition metal salt
to be well dissociated because it has no functional group capable of forming a complex
with a transition metal. The facilitated transport membrane is characterized in that its
permeance and selectivity to alkene hydrocarbons is high and in that the transition
metal ion in the transition metal salt-polymer membrane maintains its activity as a
carrier for alkene hydrocarbons even under long-term dry operating conditions.
