Abstract: Derivatized polysaccharide polymers that contain a fructan polymer substrate bearing one or more cationic substituent groups are useful in home and fabric care applications, in oilfield applications, and in emulsion polymerization applications.

Abstract: A polymer that includes at least one monomeric unit having a pendant substituent group according to formula (II): wherein: R1 is H, chloro, bromo, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, or aralkyl, R2 and R3 are each independently H, alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, aryl, aralkyl, uriedo, or carboxyalkylene, R4 is alkylene or R5, R7, and R10 are each independently alkylene, R6, R8, and R9 are each independently H or alkyl, A is O or N—R11, provided if A is O and R4 is methylene, then R1 cannot be H, chloro, or bromo, R11 is H or alkyl, and X? is an anion, is useful in personal care application, such as hair styling compositions.

Abstract: A graft copolymer comprises a polysaccharide polymer grafted with a polymer capable of bonding to human hair and is useful in hair care compositions.

Abstract: An optically clear aqueous structured surfactant composition that includes from 0 parts by weight to less than 2.5 parts by weight sugar per 100 parts by weight of the composition, and from greater than 7.7 parts by weight to about 50 parts by weight of an anionic surfactant per 100 parts by weight of the composition, and wherein at least a portion of the anionic surfactant is in the form of spherulites, is useful as a ingredient in personal care compositions.

Abstract: A process for the production of allyl succinic anhydride comprising reacting a mixture of propene with maleic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst comprised of an alkyl tin chloride as provided. The process can be run efficiently at temperatures below about 200° C. without and the formation of polymer or decomposition by-products.
