Silicone polymers

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention deals with the composition, and application of novel silicone compounds, useful as softening, anti-tangle, and conditioning agents for use in personal care, textile and related applications. The properties of these novel compounds containing silicone which makes them well suited for these applications is the fact that they are substantive to fibers, hair and skin and also very mild to the skin and eyes. The incorporation of a silicone component into the molecule results in several additional desirable properties heretofore unattainable. The polymers are more elastomeric rather than resinous, are more oxygen permeable and can be made more hydrophobic.
2. Arts and Practices
The prior practices for providing softening, anti-tangle, and conditioning properties for use in personal care, textile and related applications has been incorporation of quaternary compounds. These materials have been used for many years despite some significant drawbacks including irritation, negative impact on the aquatic environment, build up and yellowing of the substrate upon which they are applied.
Standard quaternary compounds are prepared by quaternization of a tertiary amine with such agents as benzyl chloride or di-methyl sulfate or di-ethyl sulfate or methyl chloride. These materials are relatively inexpensive but offer several key disadvantages. These include yellowing of fabrics, a tendency to build-up upon repeated treatment, and variability in hand (i.e. softness and feel). Standard softeners used are selected from the following classes:
Class #1. Alkyl Imidazoline Quaternary Compounds made from the quaternization of an imidazoline made by reacting diethylenetriamine, and a high molecular weight fatty acid such as stearic acid. The standard quaternizating agents are di-ethyl sulfate, or methyl chloride, or di-methyl sulfate, or methyl chloride or benzyl chloride.
Class #2. Alkyl or dialkyl tertiary amines quaternized with benzyl chloride or di-ethyl sulfate or methyl chloride or di-methyl sulfate.
Class #3. Quaternary compounds of ethoxylated, propoxylated or nonalkoxylated amido amines derived from the reaction of a high molecular weight fatty acid like stearic acid and a polyamine like diethylene triamine. The standard quaternizating agents are di-ethyl sulfate or di-methyl sulfate or methyl chloride or benzyl chloride.
Class #4. Amido amine salts derived from partially acid neutralized amines.
Phosphobetaines are examples of more recent attempt to attain a substantive low irritation compound. U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,064 to Lindemann et al issued Jul. 29, 1980 teaches that phosphobetaines can be prepared by the reaction of a phosphate or phosphite salt with epichlorohydrin under aqueous conditions. U.S. Pat. No. 4,283,541 to O'Lenick, et al, issued Aug. 11, 1981 teaches the process for the preparation of the phosphobetaines described in Lindemann (U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,064).
U.S. Pat. No. 4,336,385 issued Jun. 1982 to Mayhew and O'Lenick, teaches that certain phosphated imidazoline derivatives are useful in some cosmetic products.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,077 to O'Lenick et al issued Jan. 1989, teaches that nonirritating quats can be prepared by reacting guerbet alcohols and their alkoxylates with epichlorohydrin and tertiary amines.
Silicone oils (dimethylpolysiloxane) have been known to be active at the surface of plastic, cellulosic and synthetic fibers as well as paper. Despite the fact that they are lubricants that are stable to oxidation, their high cost and lack of durability has made them cost prohibitive in most application areas. Silicone oils need to be emulsified prior to application. This requires high pressure equipment, surface active agents and generally results in a milky emulsion. Emulsions have experienced stability problems both in terms of freeze thaw instability and upon heating. This has resulted in minimal acceptance of them in commercial products.
Many attempts have been made to obtain a cationic polymeric silicone compound suitable for use in cosmetic and personal care products. One approach has been to use hydrosilation technology to make alkoxylated silicone polymers, used as raw materials in this invention. These materials do not have the substantivity desired to make them suitable for use as fiber lubricants or antistats.
A surprising feature of the compounds of the present invention is their liquid nature, mild nature to skin and eye and compatibility in anionic cationic and nonionic systems. This makes the materials of the present invention very useful in personal care products.

THE INVENTION
Object of the Invention
It is the object of the current invention to provide a novel series of silicone polymers. The incorporation of the critical silicone group gives increased substantivity to the polymer, lowers irritation and provides excellent antistatic, comb out properties and softening to hair and skin. The incorporation of a silicone component into the molecule results in several additional desirable properties heretofore unattainable. The polymers are more elastomeric rather than resinous, are more oxygen permeable and can be made more hydrophobic.
It is another object of the current invention to provide a novel vinyl silicone monomer used as an intermediate in the preparation of the compounds of the present invention.
It is still another objective of the current invention to provide personal care compositions which contain an effective conditioning amount of the compounds of the current invention. That effective conditioning concentration will vary from 0.1 to 20% of the composition. The compounds of the present invention have outstanding compatibility with anionic, nonionic and cationic surfactant systems.

General Polymerization Procedure
The polymerization of the vinyl containing compounds is achieved by utilizing free radical catalyst in a low oxygen containing solvent, most commonly water. The water is deionized and sparged with nitrogen to remove dissolved oxygen contained therein immediately prior to use. Then, the specified amount of the treated dionized water is added to a suitable glass vessel. Most commonly, 50 to 80% of the total weight of the batch is water. The specified amount of the specified monomers are then added under agitation. Nitrogen is continuously sparged and the temperature is raised to about 50 C. Once the temperature has reached 50 and the nitrogen has been bubbled through the reaction mass for thirty minutes, a free radical initiator is added. Many peracids, like t-butyl-perbenzoate, t-butyl-hydroperoxide and inorganic free radical initators like stannic chloride can be used. The preferred initator is azobisisobutylnitrile. The reaction is exothermic and cooling is used to keep the temperature below 90 C.
The molecular weight is monitored by viscosity and both increase as the reaction continues.
Example 36
To the specified number of grams (5,000 Gm.) of deionized water, which has just been spargred with nitrogen for 30 minutes, is added the specified amount (4,200 grams) of Class 1 monomer (Ex #1). Next add the specified amount (0 grams) of Class 2 monomer (Ex #25) followed by the specified amount (0 grams) of Class 3 monomer (Ex #29) followed by the specified amount (0 grams) of Class 4 monomer (Ex #33) followed by the specified amount (0 grams) of Class 5 monomer (Ex #34) followed by the specified amount (0 grams) of Class 6 monomer (Ex #35), under good agitation and nitrogen sparge. The temperature is raised to about 50 C. Once the temperature has reached 50 and the nitrogen has been bubbled through the reaction mass for thirty minutes, the specified amount of the specified catalyst (azobisisobutylnitrile) is added. The catalyst may be optimally added in smaller increments of one quarter of the total needed waiting 30 minutes between additions. The viscosity will raise as the polymerization occurs. The temperature raises to about 90 C. and is cooled with cooling water as needed to prevent the temperature from reaching 90 C. The desired polymer is used as prepared.
Examples 37-63
The above procedure is repeated only substituting the specified amount and type of monomer, catalyst and water specified.

WET COMB OUT TEST
A laboratory test is conducted to screen the wet comb properties of a representative member of the family of novel compounds. Hair swatches are purchased from a supply of human hair from the same head. Each test swatch contains 7 grams of hair and is 11 inches in length. The hair is tied tightly 1 inch from one end with string. THe swatch is pre-cleaned with a 3% solution of ammonium lauryl sulfate. Subsequently, the swatch is washed under running tap water. The hair is then squeezed out and while still damp dipped into a 200 ml solution of 0.2% active quaternary. Another rinse is made, then the swatch is blotted dry. The swatch is then treated by holding the hair swatch, combing the hair as rapidly as possible while alternating the side of the swatch combed. The time needed to get one smooth free stroke without tangling is recorded. Typical results for the standard quaternary compounds used in hair conditioning (stearyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride) range from 12-14 seconds.
