Homogeneous polymerization process for making substantially homogeneous terpolymers

摘要

A homogeneous polymerization process is described for making substantially homogeneous terpolymers of, by weight, 55-99%, preferably 65-95% of vinyl pyrrolidone; 0.5-49%, preferably 1-25% of a quaternary amino monomer, preferably 3-methacrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium chloride; and 0.5-49%, preferably 1-25%, of a hydrophobic monomer, preferably octadecyl methacrylate. The homogeneous terpolymer provides dual hair styling and conditioning functions in hair care applications.
