IONIC/IONOGENIC COMB COPOLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS CONTAINING THE SAME

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide ionic/ionogenic comb copolymer compositions and personal care products containing the same.SOLUTION: Ionic/ionogenic comb copolymers are disclosed along with personal care products that include them as a modifier that results in increased sensory attributes and increased effectiveness in the deposition of actives and can also act as a thickening agent. The copolymer includes one or more repeating units derived from at least one of members selected from the group consisting of olefinically unsaturated anionic or anionogenic and zwitterionic comonomers, and one or more repeating units having the formula -Y-|b|Z, where Y is a moiety forming a part of a copolymer backbone, Z is a moiety that exhibits association with other Z moieties or with other moieties within an ultimate formulation in which the copolymer is employed, and b is a bond or moiety that links the Z moiety to the Y moiety. In certain embodiments, the copolymer includes repeating units derived from acrylamide monomers, olefinically unsaturated hydrophilic monomers or other olefinically unsaturated monomers.SELECTED DRAWING: None
