Abstract:
The present invention relates to a surface-treatment agent for powders for use in cosmetics, including a specific polymer having a specified carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, as well as a cosmetic comprising a powder which has been treated with the above surface-treatment agent. The surf ace-treated powder does not generate hydrogen, and therefore is safe. Further the surface-treated powder can exhibits, good compatibility with other cosmetic raw materials, and thereby, the stability of the formulation in cosmetics can be improved. The surface-treated powder can provide cosmetics with good water resistance, good sebum resistance, good glossiness, a good tactile sensation, good adhesive properties to hair and/or skin, or the like. The cosmetic can also have superior surface protective properties, a superior outer appearance, and/or a superior sensation during use.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a copolymer having a specified carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and a long-chain alkyl group with 14 to 22 carbon atoms in a specified ratio, and a cosmetic comprising the copolymer as a cosmetic raw material. The cosmetic raw material has good miscibility with other cosmetic raw materials, and therefore, can improve stability of the formulation in a cosmetic, as well as can provide good water resistance, sebum resistance, glossiness, tactile sensation and/or adhesive properties to the hair and/or skin to a cosmetic, and also provide a cosmetic formed by blending the aforementioned cosmetic raw material, which exhibits superior surface protective properties, outer appearance and/or sensation during use.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a fluorine-containing polymer prepared by polymerizing (I) a polyfluoroalkyl group-containing (meth)acrylate which is substituted at alpha-position, in the presence of (II) a blocked isocyanate compound. A water- and oil-repellent composition containing the fluorine-containing polymer can impart the excellent water- and oil-repellency, and excellent durability thereof to substrates.
Abstract:
Crosslinked, melt-shaped articles are manufactured by a process that does not require the use of post-shaping external heat or moisture, the process comprising the steps of: A. Forming a crosslinkable mixture of a 1. Organopolysiloxane containing one or more functional end groups; and 2. Silane-grafted or silane-copolymerized polyolefin; and B. Melt-shaping and partially crosslinking the mixture; and C. Cooling and continuing crosslinking the melt-shaped article. Crosslinking is promoted by the addition of a catalyst to the mixture before or during melt-shaping or to the melt-shaped article.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a crosslinkable mixture comprising a polyolefin, an alkoxysilane, an organopolysiloxane, a free radical initiator and a liquid polymer modifier. The organopolysiloxane contains two or more hydroxyl end groups. When the crosslinkable mixture is melt-shaped, a unique crosslinked composition is formed. The liquid polymer modifier improves flexibility of the melt-shaped article without decreasing dielectric strength.
Abstract:
A novel graft polymer composition with a vinyl or an ethylene oxide backbone and oligo-alkylene oxide pendants is disclosed. The synthesis of the graft polymers involves making a vinyl or ethylene oxide prepolymer containing alkene groups, which are then grafted with alkylene oxide containing pendants.
Abstract:
There is provided a method of treatment including (i) applying a treatment composition to at least a portion of the surface of a wheel rim and (ii) allowing a thus applied treatment composition to cure. There is also provided compounds and compositions useful in the method.
Abstract:
Silicone-thermoplastic polymer reactive blends and copolymer products are prepared using economical post-reactor reactive mixing, e.g., extrusion. The procedure is based on the ring-opening polymerization of cyclic siloxanes within a thermoplastic polymer matrix. In a preferred mode, the thermoplastic polymer is a polyolefin, optionally containing silane groups that are available for reaction with the silicone polymer that is formed in situ . The resulting materials provide hybrid performance that can extend the range of applications beyond those which are served by thermoplastic polymers or silicones alone, or their physical blends.
