Background Art

[0004] Hair styling compositions, such as hairsprays, styling gels, spray gels, and mousses, are used on hair to hold it in a specific shape or structure. Such compositions typically contain polymer resins, gums, or adhesives designed to ultimately impart desired properties to the hair to which the composition is applied. Polymers are used for a variety of purposes, including, for example, hair retention, volume enhancement, and imparting desirable tactile properties. Much of the ability of hair styling compositions to hold hair in a specific shape is due to the fixing polymers used in the composition. When applied, fixing polymers form thin films and / or welds on the hair at the joints between adjacent hair fibers or at points where fibers intersect, thereby holding the hair in a specific shape or structure.

[0005] For a polymer to be suitable for a hair styling composition, it should exhibit a desirable combination of performance attributes, including, for example, compatibility with other components of the composition, sufficient high-humidity curl retention, sufficient rigidity on the hair, and easy sprayability that results in a uniform mist of spray delivered to the hair.

[0006] An example of a hair fixing agent formulation is disclosed by Chang et al. in U.S. Patent No. 6,214,328. Chang et al. disclose (a) at least one acrylic hair fixing agent resin in a total weight of 1 to 15 weight percent, wherein (i) at least one (C) in a total weight of 5 to 95 weight percent as polymerization units. 1~10 (ii) alkyl (meth)acrylate, (ii) at least one hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate in 2 to 26 weight percent, (iii) at least one C in 0 to 50 weight percent 3~8 Monoethylenically unsaturated monocarboxylic acid monomers, and (iv) 2 to 10 weight percent of at least one C 4~8 The present invention provides an aqueous hair styling composition comprising (b) an acrylic hair fixing resin which is a polymer containing a monoethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid monomer, and (b) at least one neutralizing agent.

[0042] [Table 1]

[0043] Synthesis of carbosiloxane monomer (M3) The initial organosilicon compound (A1) (657.13 g) was packed into a vacuum-connected reactor, and two top-of-column receptors, a distillation column, a reboiler, and a cooling trap (dry ice) were fixed in place. The reactor contents were then heated to 129°C to strip off volatile substances (29.15 g: hexane / water). Next, the reactor was vacuumed (to 10 mmHg), and the reactor contents were heated to 135°C to remove further volatile substances (26.91 g from the top of the column and 21.56 g from the cooling trap). The inhibitor (D1) was then packed into the reactor contents, forming four sections: two top-of-column receptors (0.410 g each), a cooling trap (0.3 g), and the top of the distillation column (0.50 g). Purge (7% O2 / N2, 40 sccm) was then initiated in the reboiler fluid. Next, catalyst (C1) (2.9g) and MMA (298.77g) were packed into the reactor. The reactor was heated to its set point and refluxed at a top temperature of 64°C or lower to remove volatile substances. The reaction was held for 6 hours, during which time the reactor contents were kept under vacuum, reflux and a pot temperature of 103°C were maintained, and volatile substances were recovered (35.4g). The reactor contents were tested (GC) to determine the conversion rate (GC; conversion rate 96.3%). Next, the vacuum was reduced to 535 mmHg, the reactor contents were heated to 103°C, and the top removal was set to a reflux ratio of 40 and held for 2.5 hours. Next, the vacuum was reduced to 10 mmHg, and the reactor contents were heated to 118°C and maintained for 1 hour while volatile substances were removed (204.31 g, 19.03 g in the cooling trap). The product containing the methacryloxy-functional organosilicon compound (544.02 g, 100% conversion rate to methacryloxy ester (GC), mass balance 97.2%) was obtained as a yellowish, turbid material with a white powder precipitate. The acryloxy-functional organosilicon product has the following structure:

[0044] [ka] It has the properties of a carbosiloxane monomer (M3), which may be referred to herein as such.

[0045] Example 1: Polymer Synthesis A 1-liter round-bottom flask equipped with a glass rod propeller connected to a crescent-shaped Teflon® blade, a condenser, and a thermocouple was used for polymer synthesis. The propeller was driven by an overhead mechanical stirrer. The thermocouple was connected to a J-KEM temperature controller and supplied input to a pneumatic potlifter to achieve the desired temperature. Ethanol (132.39 g of SDA 3-C grade containing 4.76% isopropanol in 200 proof ethanol) was first added to the flask, and the temperature controller was set to 80°C. A nitrogen atmosphere generator was applied to remove entrained air, and the propeller was set to 100 rpm. In a separate 2-liter glass jar, a monomer mixture was prepared containing n-butyl acrylate (10 g), carbosiloxane monomer (M2) (40 g), methyl methacrylate (94 g), glacial methacrylic acid (36 g), and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (20 g, ROCRYL 400LI, available from The Dow Chemical Company). A co-fed initiator solution was prepared by diluting tert-amyl peroxypivalate (3.43 g, Trigonox 125-C75, 75% active in mineral spirits) with ethanol (86.99 g of SDA 3-C grade). When the temperature of the flask contents reached 50°C, the monomer mixture (10 g) was supplied into the flask. When the temperature of the flask contents reached 78°C, the remaining monomer mixture and the co-fed initiator solution were metered and supplied into the flask at rates of 1.06 g / min and 0.50 g / min, respectively. The target feeding time was 180 minutes. Moderate heat was continuously applied to maintain reflux conditions. The temperature gradually increased from 77.8°C to 80.6°C, and the reaction mixture became slightly foamy. The viscosity appeared to have increased slightly, and the stirring speed was increased to 120 rpm at 50% of the feed and remained the same until the end of the batch. Once the monomer feed was complete, ethanol (23.68 g, SDA 3-C grade) was added to the monomer mixture vessel and rinsed into the flask. The contents of the flask were held at 80°C for 30 minutes.Next, trigonox 125-C75 (5.08 g) in ethanol (17.14 g, SDA 3-C grade) was metered and supplied to the flask at a rate of 0.74 g / min over 30 minutes for two chemical traces, with a 30-minute hold between the two traces. The batch was then held for a further 90 minutes and then quenched by air cooling. Ethanol (132.70 g, SDA 3-C grade) was added to the flask contents during cooling as the final dilution. The residual content of monomer (I) in the product polymer was measured by liquid chromatography, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0046] Comparative Example C1 and Examples 2-6: Polymer Synthesis The polymers of Comparative Example C1 and Examples 2-6 were prepared substantially as described in Example 1, but appropriate modifications were made to reflect the monomer mixtures used, as shown in Table 2. The residual content of monomer (I) in the product polymers was measured by liquid chromatography, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0047] [Table 2]

[0048] Polymer properties The polymers prepared according to Comparative Example C1 and Examples 1-6 were measured for solids content by weight, Brookfield viscosity using a #2 spindle at 12 rpm under laboratory conditions, and glass transition temperature T as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). g , weight average molecular weight M w and number-average molecular weight M n We analyzed this. The results are shown in Table 3.

[0049] [Table 3]

[0050] Comparative Examples CF1-CF2 and Examples F1-F6: Hair Styling Formulations In Comparative Examples CF1-CF2 and Examples F1-F6, hair styling formulations were prepared by combining the amounts of components listed in Table 4. The components of Phase A were added to the container one by one while mixing. Next, the components of Phase C were added to the container. Then, the components of Phase B were slowly added to the container, with the contents made clear between additions. The formulations were placed in separate bottles equipped with spray nozzles.

[0051] [Table 4]

[0052] Example S: Hair Styling Process Each strand of hair (8 inches long, 3g, Virgin Brown, available from International Hair Importers) was wet for 30 seconds with 40°C tap water at a flow rate of 5.5 L / min, then massaged into the hair for 30 seconds using gentle vertical strokes with 0.6g of Suave Clarifying Shampoo per gram of hair, then rinsed for 1 minute under 40°C tap water at a flow rate of approximately 5.5 L / min, removing excess water from each strand by pulling twice with the index and middle fingers, detangling with a comb, and then wrapped around a 0.22mm magnetic hard plastic roller. The wrapped strands were then hung overnight in a temperature-controlled room to dry. The next day, each strand was individually sprayed with hair styling compound three times on each side of the curl from a distance of 8 inches and air-dried for 1 hour before testing.

[0053] Water absorption test Hair strands treated and styled with the hair styling formulations of Comparative Examples CF1-CF2 and Examples F1-F3 according to the process of Example S were tested for water absorption three times by placing five drops of water (20 μL each) on each strand and observing the time it took for two drops of water to be absorbed into the hair. The average results are shown in Table 5.

[0054] [Table 5]

[0055] High humidity curl retention Following the process of Example S, hair strands treated and styled with the hair styling formulations of Comparative Examples CF1-CF2 and Examples F1-F3 were removed from the roller and suspended in a humidity chamber at 25°C and 70-80% relative humidity. The curl retention rate (%) relative to the original length of the curls in the roller was measured at multiple checkpoints at the start and over 24 hours. The curl lengths measured at various checkpoints are shown in Table 6. The high-humidity curl retention test showed that, assuming the initial curl length was the same across all samples, the fixing polymers of the present invention in Examples 1 and 3 showed statistically equivalent performance to the comparative polymers after several hours, while the fixing polymer of the present invention in Example 2 showed superior performance.

[0056] [Table 6]

[0057] Curl compression Hair strands treated and styled with the hair styling formulations of Comparative Examples CF1-CF2 and Examples F1-F3 according to the process of Example S were removed from the roller, and curl compression was evaluated for a total of 5 cycles per strand with 6 duplicate strands per hair styling formulation. Peak force was compared across all strands for compression in cycle 1 and cycle 5. The average peak force of each hair styling formulation for compression in cycle 1 and cycle 5, along with stiffness retention, is reported in Table 7. The data from compression in cycles 1 and 5 showed that the fixing polymers of the present invention in Examples 1-3 exhibited more flexible retention than those shown by the commercially available polymer in Comparative Example CF1, meaning that the stiffness of strands treated with the fixing polymers of the present invention was generally lower than that of the comparative polymers. Less stiffness retention may be considered by consumers to provide a more natural feel and style to the hair. Stiffness retention rates were also observed for all samples. Although the fixing polymers of the present invention showed more flexible retention, the level of stiffness retention shown by the formulations of the present invention was better than that of the comparative polymers.

[0058] [Table 7] Water-repellent and sebum-repellent properties The water-repellent and sebum-repellent properties of polymer films are strongly influenced by surface energy. High water-repellent and sebum-repellent properties are desirable for hair styling applications. The water-repellent and sebum-repellent properties of fixative polymers can be evaluated by measuring the water contact angle and sebum contact angle from the surface of the fixative polymer film. Specifically, films were coated from the as-received polymer solution onto black plastic chart (available from Leneta) using a doctor blade film applicator with a gap set to 6 mil (0.1524 mm), and the films were air-dried in an environmentally controlled chamber (72°F and 50% RH) for at least 72 hours. After depositing droplets of water or sebum onto the substrate using a droplet shape analyzer (Kruss DSA100), both the water contact angle and sebum contact angle were measured at approximately 4 seconds and 200 seconds (degrees). For the measurement of the sebum contact angle, artificial sebum solutions with the compositions listed in Table 9 were prepared. The results of the water contact angle and sebum contact angle measurements are shown in Table 8. The contact angle retention rates reported in Table 8 follow the following formula. Retention rate (%) = [(Contact angle at time = 200 seconds) / (Contact angle at time = 4 seconds)] * 100
