Claims
- 1. A method of reducing wrinkles in fabric comprising the steps of:A) forming a coating of a carrier and a polymer on a fabric surface, wherein the polymer comprises a polymerized acrylated or methacrylated siloxane having a general formula: {R3SiO1/2}m{O1/2Si(R2)O1/2}n{SiO3/2R}o{SiO4/2}p whereinR is selected from R1 and P; each R1, which can be the same of different, is a monovalent hydrocarbon group; each P is R3[(CbH2bO)zCOCR4═CH2]g; R3 is a polyvalent organic moiety; g is a valency of R3; R4 is hydrogen or methyl; b is2to4; z is 1 to 1000; m+n+p+o is equal to 1 to 100; at least one R is P; n is 1 to 100; n/o is less than 10:1; n/p is less than 10:1; and m is 0 to 10; B) smoothing the fabric surface; and C) removing the carrier from the fabric surface.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of removing the carrier from the fabric surface is achieved at ambient temperature.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the carrier is water.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the carrier is non-aqueous.
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein the non-aqueous carrier is selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, propanol, and isopropanol.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein R3 is a hydroxy substituted alkylene.
- 7. The method of claim 1 wherein z is 3 to 30.
- 8. The method of claim 1 wherein m+n+o+p is 2 to 20.
- 9. The method of claim 1 wherein the acrylated or methacrylated siloxane is of the formula:QR12 Si{OSiR12}x{O—SiR1P}yOSiR12Q wherein x and y are each 0 or an integer; and Q is R1 or P, provided that the average acrylate functionality is >1 unsaturated group per molecule.
- 10. The method of claim 9 wherein y is 0 and Q is P.
- 11. The method of claim 9 wherein g is 1 and R3 is a linear C2-C5 alkylene.
