Abstract
The present invention relates to polymers which comprise, as monomeric building blocks, (poly)alkylene oxide-substituted diallylamines, ethylenically unsaturated monomers B, and, if appropriate, one or more further ethylenically unsaturated monomers and, if appropriate, crosslinkers, and to the use thereof as additives in cosmetic preparations.
Description

The present invention relates to polymers comprising, as monomeric building blocks (poly)alkylene oxide-substituted diallylamines, ethylenically unsaturated monomers B, and, if appropriate, one or more further ethylenically unsaturated monomers, if appropriate crosslinkers and to the use thereof as additives in cosmetic preparations.


U.S. Pat. No. 3,585,148 describes copolymers of ethoxylated quaternary diallylamines and acrylamide and the use thereof as demulsifiers for oil which is dispersed in nonoily continuous phases.


The use of polyethoxylated diallylamines in detergents is claimed in EP 111 965 and EP 112 592. Likewise disclosed is the synthesis of the ethoxylated diallylamines from diallylamine, and the preparation of the homopolymers.


U.S. Pat. No. 5,478,883 describes the use of reaction products of diallylamine and ethylene oxide and propylene oxide as water-soluble, nonionic surface-active substances in emulsion polymerization.


For hair cosmetics, film-forming polymers are used, for example, as conditioners in order to improve the dry and wet combability, feel to the touch, shine and appearance, and to give the hair antistatic properties.


Standard commercial cationic conditioner polymers are, for example, cationic hydroxyethylcellulose, cationic polymers based on N-vinylpyrrolidone, e.g. copolymers of N-vinylpyrrolidone and quaternary N-vinylimidazole or copolymers of acrylamide and diallyldimethylammonium chloride.


Polymers which contain diallylamine derivatives as monomeric building blocks are, for example, homopolymers and copolymers of diallyldimethylammonium chloride (DADMAC).


The object forming the basis of the present invention was to provide cationic polymers which can be prepared in a cost-effective manner for use in cosmetic preparations, in particular as conditioner polymers. Upon use, in particular for hair care, these polymers should form films with good mechanical properties and give the hair good wet and dry combability, detanglability, strength and good sensorily perceptible properties such as feel, volume and handlability. In addition, the polymers should be easy to wash out, be compatible with other formulation constituents and consequently be able to be made available as clear aqueous preparations.


It has now been found that polymers comprising, as monomeric building blocks,

    • a) at least one diallylamine of the general formula I (monomer A) in neutral or quaternized form

The polymers generally comprise 1-95 mol % of monomer A, 5-99 mol % of monomer B and 0-50 mol % of monomer C.


The alkylene oxides may be prepared, for example, by alkoxylation of diallylamine in a plurality of steps. In a first step, diallylamine is reacted with at least one equivalent of alkylene oxide in the presence or absence of a solvent. The precursor obtained in this way is reacted further with alkylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst, it being possible to use all of the catalysts known from the prior art for the polymerization of alkylene oxides—suitable catalysts being all those known from the prior art for the polymerization of alkylene oxides and compatible with amines. A review of a number of catalysts is given, for example, in F. E. Bailey, Jr, J. V. Koleske, Alkylene Oxides and their Polymers, NY and Basel 1991, p. 35 ff. Particular preference is given to using basic catalysts such as NaOH, KOH, CsOH, K tert-butoxide, NaOMe or mixtures of the bases with crown ethers.


The addition product of alkylene oxides and diallylamine can be functionalized further. For example, quaternization can be carried out with alkylating agents, the OH groups can be converted into sulfates, sulfonates, phosphates or phosphonates. The amine nitrogen can be converted into a charged cationic group by protonation, e.g. with carboxylic acids, such as lactic acid, or mineral acids, such as phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, or by quaternization, e.g. with alkylating agents, such as C1-C4-alkyl halides or sulfates.


Examples of such alkylating agents are ethyl chloride, ethyl bromide, methyl chloride, methyl bromide, dimethyl sulfate and diethyl sulfate. A protonation or quaternization can generally take place either before or after the polymerization. This results then in cationic, anionic, amphoteric or betainic structures.


Preparation of the Polymers


The invention also provides processes for the preparation of the polymers according to the invention, wherein the monomers A and B and optionally C and optionally a crosslinker are free-radically polymerized.


The polymers can be carried out in accordance with customary polymerization processes as bulk polymerization, solution polymerization and, in cases of lower solubility of the monomers, also as emulsion, dispersion or suspension polymerization. It is likewise possible, if the solubility of the polymer in the reaction mixture is sufficiently low, to carry out the polymerization as precipitation polymerization.


In the case of the polymerization processes specified, preference is given to working under the exclusion of oxygen, in particular in a stream of inert gas, particularly preferably in a stream of nitrogen. For all polymerization methods, the customary apparatuses are used, e.g. stirred tanks, stirred-tank cascades, autoclaves, tubular reactors, and kneaders. Preference is given to the methods of solution and emulsion polymerization. If the preparation of the polymers according to the invention takes place by free-radical, aqueous emulsion polymerization, it is advisable to add surfactants or protective colloids to the reaction medium. A list of suitable emulsifiers and protective colloids is given, for example, in Houben Weyl, Methoden der organischen Chemie [Methods of organic chemistry], volume XIV/1 Makromolekulare Stoffe [Macromolecular substances], Georg Thieme Verlag, Stuttgart 1961, p. 411 ff.


The polymerization can be carried out in solvents or diluents, such as, for example, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, cumene, chlorobenzene, ethylbenzene, technical-grade mixtures of alkylaromatics, cyclohexane, technical-grade aliphatic mixtures, acetone, cyclohexanone, tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, glycols and glycol derivatives, polyalkylene glycols and derivatives thereof, diethyl ethers, tert-butyl methyl ether, methyl acetate, isopropanol, ethanol, water or mixtures, such as, for example, isopropanol/water mixtures. The solvent or diluent used is preferably water, optionally with contents up to 60% by weight of alcohols or glycols. Particular preference is given to using water.


The polymerization can be carried out at temperatures of from 20° to 300°, preferably from 400 to 150° C.


Initiators


The polymerization is preferably carried out in the presence of compounds which form free radicals. Up to 30% by weight of these compounds are generally used, preferably 0.05 to 15% by weight, particularly preferably 0.2 to 8% by weight, based on the monomers used in the polymerization. In the case of multicomponent initiator systems (e.g. redox initiator systems), the weights given above refer to the sum of the components.


Suitable polymerization initiators are, for example, peroxides, hydroperoxides, peroxodisulfates, percarbonates, peroxide esters, hydrogen peroxide and azo compounds. Examples of initiators which may be water-soluble or else water-insoluble are hydrogen peroxide, dibenzoyl peroxide, dicyclohexyl peroxidicarbonate, dilauroyl peroxide, methylethyl ketone peroxide, di-tert-butyl hydroperoxide, acetylacetone peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, tert-butyl perneodecanoate, tert-amyl perpivalate, tert-butyl perpivalate, tert-butyl perbenzoate, lithium peroxodisulfate, sodium peroxodisulfate, potassium peroxodisulfate and ammonium peroxodisulfate and azodiisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane)-hydrochloride.


The initiators can be used on their own or in a mixture with one another, e.g. mixtures of hydrogen peroxide and sodium peroxodisulfate. For polymerization in aqueous medium, preference is given to using water-soluble initiators.


The known redox initiator systems can also be used as polymerization initiators. Such redox initiator systems comprise at least one peroxide-containing compound in combination with a redox coinitiator e.g. sulfur compounds with a reducing effect, for example bisulfites, sulfites, thiosulfates, dithionites and tetrathionates of alkali metals and ammonium compounds. For example, it is possible to use combinations of peroxodisulfates with alkali metal or ammonium hydrogensulfites, e.g. ammonium peroxodisulfate and ammonium disulfite. The amount of peroxide-containing compound relative to the redox coinitiator can be 30:1 to 0.05:1.


In combination with the initiators or the redox initiator systems it is additionally possible to use transition metal catalysts, e.g. salts of iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, vanadium and manganese. Suitable salts are, for example, iron(II)sulfate, cobalt(II)chloride, nickel(II)sulfate, or copper(I)chloride. Based on the monomers, the reducing transition metal salt is used in a concentration of from 0.1 ppm to 1000 ppm. For example, it is possible to use combinations of hydrogen peroxide with iron(II) salts, such as, for example, 0.5 to 30% hydrogen peroxide and 0.1 to 500 ppm of Mohr's salt.


In the case of polymerization in organic solvents too, it is possible to co-use redox coinitiators and/or transition metal catalysts in combination with the abovementioned initiators, e.g. benzoin, dimethylaniline, ascorbic acid, and organically soluble complexes of heavy metals, such as copper, cobalt, iron, manganese, nickel and chromium. The customarily used amounts of redox coinitiators or transition metal catalysts are about 0.1 to 1000 ppm, based on the amounts of monomers used.


Molecular Weight


The molecular weight of the polymers (number-average molecular weight Mn or mass-average molecular weight Mw) can be influenced through the choice of reaction parameters such as, for example, solvents, regulators, crosslinkers, amount of initiator, reaction time and/or temperature.


Depending on the choice of polymerization conditions it is possible to establish weight-average molecular weights (Mw) of, for example, 1000 to 2 000 000, preferably 5000-50 000. Mw is determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).


The K values of the aqueous sodium salt solutions of the copolmers were determined in accordance with H. Fikentscher, Cellulose-Chemie, volume 13, 58-64 and 71-74 (1932) in aqueous solution at a pH of 7, a temperature of 25° C. and a polymer concentration of the sodium salt of the copolymer of 1% by weight.


Regulators


In order to control the average molecular weight of the polymers, it is often expedient to carry out the copolymerization in the presence of regulators. For this purpose it is possible to use customary regulators, such as, for example, organic compounds containing SH groups, such as 2-mercaptoethanol, 2-mercaptopropanol, 3-mercaptopropionic acid, cysteine, N-acetylcysteine, but also sodium hypophosphite or sodium hydrogensulfite. The regulators used are preferably alkanethiols. It is also possible to use mixtures of two or more regulators.


Alkanethiols which may be used are linear and branched alkanethiols with a carbon chain length of from C10 to C22. Preference is given to linear alkanethiols, in particular alkanethiols with a chain length of from C12 to C22, very particularly from C12 to C18. Preferred alkanethiols which may be mentioned are n-decanethiol, n-dodecanethiol, tert-dodecanethiol, n-tetradecanethiol, n-pentadecanethiol, n-hexadecanethiol, n-heptadecanethiol, n-octadecanethiol, n-nonadecanethiol, n-eicosanethiol, n-docosanethiol. Particular preference is given to linear, even-numbered alkanethiols.


The alkanethiols can likewise be used in mixtures. The alkanethiols are usually added to the polymerization together with the monomers. The polymerization regulators are generally used in amounts of from 0.1 to 10% by weight, based on the monomers.


The average molecular weight can also be influenced through the choice of suitable solvent. For example, the polymerization in the presence of diluents with benzylic H atoms leads to a reduction in the average molecular weight as a result of chain transfer.


Crosslinkers


In order to increase the molecular weight of the polymers, it may be expedient to carry out the copolymerization in the presence of crosslinkers.


Suitable crosslinkers are, for example, acrylic esters, methacrylic esters, allyl ethers or vinyl ethers of at least dihydric alcohols. The OH groups of the parent alcohols may here be completely or partially etherified or esterified; however, the crosslinkers contain at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups.


Examples of the parent alcohols are divalent alcohols such as 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, 1,4-butanediol, but-2-en-1,4-diol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,10-decanediol, 1,2-dodecanediol, 1,12-dodecanediol, neopentyl glycol, 3-methylpentane-1,5-diol, 2,5-dimethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 1,2-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, 1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)-cyclohexane, neopentyl glycol monohydroxypivalate, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane, 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxypropyl)phenyl]propane, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, tetrapropylene glycol, 3-thiopentane-1,5-diol, and also polyethylene glycols, polypropylene glycols and polytetrahydrofurans with molecular weights of in each case 200 to 10 000. Apart from the homopolymers of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, it is also possible to use block copolymers of ethylene oxide or propylene oxide or copolymers which contain ethylene oxide and propylene oxide groups in incorporated form. Examples of parent alcohols with more than two OH groups are trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythritol, 1,2,5-pentanetriol, 1,2,6-hexanetriol, triethoxycyanuric acid, sorbitan, sugars such as sucrose, glucose, mannose. The polyhydric alcohols can of course also be used following reaction with ethylene oxide or propylene oxide, in the form of the corresponding ethoxylates or propoxylates. The polyhydric alcohols can also firstly be converted into the corresponding glycidyl ethers by reaction with epichlorohydrin.


Further suitable crosslinkers are the vinyl esters or the esters of monohydric, unsaturated alcohols with ethylenically unsaturated C3- to C6-carboxylic acids, for example acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid or fumaric acid. Examples of such alcohols are allyl alcohol, 1-buten-3-ol, 5-hexen-1-ol, 1-octen-3-ol, 9-decen-1-ol, dicyclopentenyl alcohol, 10-undecen-1-ol, cinnamyl alcohol, citronellol, crotyl alcohol or cis-9-octadecen-1-ol. It is, however, also possible to esterify the monohydric, unsaturated alcohols with polybasic carboxylic acids, for example malonic acid, tartaric acid, trimellitic acid, phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, citric acid or succinic acid.


Further suitable crosslinkers are esters of unsaturated carboxylic acids with the above-described polyhydric alcohols, for example oleic acid, crotonic acid, cinnamic acid or 10-undecanoic acid.


Suitable crosslinkers are also straight-chain or branched, linear or cyclic, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons which have at least two double bonds which, in the case of aliphatic hydrocarbons, must not be conjugated, e.g. divinylbenzene, divinyltoluene, 1,7-octadiene, 1,9-decadiene, 4-vinyl-1-cyclohexene, trivinylcyclohexane or polybutadienes with molecular weights of from 200 to 20 000.


Suitable crosslinkers are also the acrylamides, methacrylamides and N-allylamines of at least dihydric amines. Such amines are, for example, 1,2-diaminomethane, 1,2-diaminoethane, 1,3-diaminopropane, 1,4-diaminobutane, 1,6-diaminohexane, 1,12-dodecandiamine, piperazine, diethylenetriamine or isophoronediamine. Likewise suitable are the amides of allylamine and unsaturated carboxylic acids, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, itaconic acid, maleic acid, or at least dibasic carboxylic acids, as have been described above.


Particularly suitable crosslinkers are triallylamine and triallylmonoalkylammonium salts, e.g. triallylmethylammonium chloride or methylsulfate.


Also suitable are N-vinyl compounds of urea derivatives, at least divalent amides, cyanurates or urethanes, for example of urea, ethyleneurea, propyleneurea or tartardiamide, e.g. N,N′-divinylethyleneurea or N,N′-divinylpropyleneurea.


Further suitable crosslinkers are divinyidioxane, tetraallylsilane or tetravinylsilane.


It is of course also possible to use mixtures of the abovementioned compounds. Preference is given to using those crosslinkers which are soluble in the solution or dispersion of the monomers.


Particularly preferred crosslinkers are, for example, methylenebisacrylamide, triallylamine and triallylalkylammonium salts, divinylimidazole, pentaerythritol triallyl ether, N,N′-divinylethyleneurea, reaction products of polyhydric alcohols with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, methacrylic esters and acrylic esters of polyalkylene oxides or polyhydric alcohols which have been reacted with ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide and/or epichlorohydrin.


Very particularly preferred crosslinkers are pentaerythritol triallyl ether, methylenebisacrylamide, N,N′-divinylethyleneurea, triallylamine and triallylmonoalkylammonium salts, and acrylic esters of glycol, butanediol, trimethylolpropane or glycerol or acrylic esters of glycol, butanediol, trimethylolpropane or glycerol which have been reacted with ethylene oxide and/or epichlorohydrin.


The crosslinkers are usually used in an amount of 0.01-5% by weight, based on the total amount of the monomers A, B and C.


Work-Up


If the polymer is obtained by the process of solution polymerization in water, then it is usually not necessary to separate off the solvent. If it is nevertheless desired to isolate the polymer, a spray-drying can, for example, be carried out.


If the polymer is prepared by the method of solution, precipitation or suspension polymerization in a steam-volatile solvent or solvent mixture, then the solvent can be separated off by introducing steam in order thus to arrive at an aqueous solution or dispersion. The polymer can also be separated off from the organic diluent by a drying process.


In a preferred embodiment, the polymers according to the invention are soluble or dispersible in water.


For the purposes of the present invention, water-soluble monomers and polymers are understood as meaning monomers and polymers which dissolve in 1 liter of water in an amount of at least 1 g.


Water-dispersible monomers and polymers are understood as meaning monomers and polymers which disintegrate into dispersible particles under the application of shear forces, for example by stirring. Hydrophilic monomers are preferably water-soluble or at least water-dispersible. The polymers according to the invention are generally dispersible or soluble in aqueous media.


Preferably, the polymers are in the form of an aqueous solution or dispersion with solids contents of preferably 10 to 80% by weight.


The K values of the polymers are preferably in the range from 20-120.


The polymers may be provided for the cosmetic preparations in dissolved or solid form which is obtainable by drying, for example by spray-drying of polymer solutions or dispersions, as are produced during the polymerization. The polymer is preferably used in liquid, i.e. dissolved, emulsified or suspended, form, for example in the form of the, in particular, aqueous polymerization solution for producing the cosmetic preparations.

The light protection filters used in cosmetic and dermatological preparations have the task of preventing the harmful effects of sunlight on human skin, or at least reducing their consequences. In addition, these light protection filters, however, also serve to protect further ingredients against decomposition or degradation by UV radiation. In hair cosmetic formulations, damage to keratin fibers by UV rays should be reduced.

EXAMPLES

The examples below are intended to explain the invention in more detail without, however, limiting it thereto:


I. Analysis


Determination of the Average Molecular Weight


The weight-average molecular weight Mw was determined by gel permeation. chromatography (=GPC) with aqueous eluents.


The GPC was carried out with a combination of instruments from Agilent (series 1100). These include:

DegasserModel G 1322 AIsocratic pumpModel G 1310 AAutosamplerModel G 1313 AColumn ovenModel G 1316 AControl moduleModel G 1323 BDifferential refractometerModel G 1362 A


In the case of polymers dissolved in water, the eluent used was a 0.08 mol/l TRIS-buffer (pH=7.0) in distilled water +0.15 mol/l chloride ions from NaCl and HCl. Separation took place in a separating column combination. Use was made of the columns No. 787 and 788 (each 8×30 mm) from PSS with GRAL BIO linear separating material. The throughflow rate was 0.8 ml/min at a column temperature of 23° C.


Calibration is carried out with polyethylene oxide standard from PPS with molecular weights of M=194-1 700 000 [mol/g].


Determination of the K Value


The K values of the aqueous sodium salt solutions of the copolymers were determined in accordance with H. Fikentscher, Cellulose-Chemie, volume 13, 58-64 and 71-74 (1932) in aqueous solution at a pH of 7, a temperature of 25° C. and a polymer concentration of the sodium salt of the copolymer of 1% by weight.


Determination of the Solids Content


A defined amount of sample (about 0.5-1 g) was weighed into an aluminum dish (initial weight). The sample was dried under an IR lamp (160 volts) for 30 minutes. The mass of the sample was then determined again (final weight). The percentage solids content (SC) is calculated as follows:

SC=final weight×100/initial weight [% by wt.]

Preparation of the diallyl monomers and copolymers


Preparation of the monomeric reactive alkoxylates:


Example M1
Diallylamine +20 EO (EO=ethylene oxide)

2.471 kg of diallylamine and 0.126 kg of demineralized water were initially introduced into a 20 I steel reactor with jacket cooling, oxide metering and internal thermometer. The reactor was briefly evacuated and then, at 25° C., nitrogen was used to build up a pressure of 15.4 bar. After 50 minutes, the system was decompressed to 3 bar and heated to 80° C. Then, in the course of 80 minutes, 1.120 kg of ethylene oxide was metered in such that the pressure was maintained between 2.8 and 4.3 bar and the temperature did not exceed 95° C. After the ethylene oxide had been metered in, the mixture was stirred for 120 minutes and then cooled to 50° C. 1.217 kg were drawn off from the reactor. 0.1463 kg of a 45% aqueous KOH solution was added to the remaining material. The temperature was increased to 103° C. and water was removed at a pressure of <10 mbar. Nitrogen was then used to build up a pressure of 2 bar and the mixture was heated to 122° C. and, over the course of 21 hours, 14.817 kg of ethylene oxide were gassed in, during which the pressure was maintained between 2 and 5.5 bar and the temperature did not exceed 135° C. The metered addition was interrupted after 240 minutes, stirring was continued at 118° C., the remaining oxide was metered in over the course of 110 minutes and stirring was continued at this temperature for 129 minutes. The mixture was cooled to 80° C. and 10.36 kg were drawn off from the reactor. The product had an OH number of 62.9 mg of KOH/g.


Example M2
Diallylamine +40 EO

The product remaining in the reactor after example M1 was heated in the same reactor to 86° C. and rendered inert with nitrogen and a pressure of 2 bar was built up. The mixture was then heated to 115° C. and, over the course of 240 minutes, 6.964 kg of ethylene oxide were gassed in such that the temperature did not exceed 130° C. and the pressure remained between 2 and 5.8 bar. When the metered addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for 120 minutes at 117° C. and 13.24 kg of product were discharged from the reactor. The product had an OH number of 32.03 mg of KOH/g.


Example M3
Diallylamine +80 EO

3.574 kg of the product prepared according to example M1 were treated in the reactor used in example 1 with 0.04464 kg of a 45% strength aqueous KOH solution and reacted analogously to example 2 with 10.105 kg of ethylene oxide. This gave 13.51 kg of reactor product with an OH number of 24.13 mg of KOH/g.


Quaternization


Example Q1
Diallylamine +20EO Quaternized

548.18 g of diallylamine +20EO (example Ml) were melted at 60° C. Over the course of one hour, 67.10 g of dimethyl sulfate were added dropwise uniformly to this melt. When addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for a further 2.5 hours at 60° C. in order to complete the reaction.
