Abstract:
An antioxidant polymer (e.g., oligomer) composition comprising repeat units of lylamine monomers of formula I wherein R is H, C 1 -C 18 alkyl, C 2 -C 18 alkenyl, C 2 -C 18 alkynyl, -C(O)C 1 -C 18 alkyl, -C(O)aryl and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are each independently H or a linear or branched C 1 -C 18 alkyl, C 1 -C 18 alkoxy, C 1 -C 18 alkylamino, C 1 -C 18 dialkylamino, C 1 -C 18 alkylthio, C 2 -C 18 alkenyl, C 2 -C 18 alkynyl or C 7 -C 21 aralkyl and wherein the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polymer is from about 350 g/mol to about 5000 g/mol are highly effective antioxidants in lubricant compositions. The polymer compositions may be prepared by a process comprising subjecting diarylamine monomers to dehydrocondensation conditions.
Abstract:
Keratin conditioning polymers comprising at least an ethylenically unsaturated cationic monomer, a sugar containing ethylenically unsaturated monomer, optionally a monomer containing a carboxylic acid or sulfonic acid group and optionally a crosslinking agent are disclosed. The conditioning polymer is useful in personal care and home care compositions and especially useful as conditioning agents for keratinous substrates such as hair, skin and nails.
