  • Cosmetic treatment of substrates
    Patent number: 5523080
    Abstract: A method for treating hair to impart thereto a conditioning benefit, the method involving applying to the hair an azlactone-functionalised copolymer consisting of vinyl azlactone and methacryloyl polydimethylsiloxane monomers; and allowing the copolymer to chemically bond through nucleophilic reaction of the azlactone onto the hair, the monomers of the copolymer being present in amounts sufficient to achieve both bonding to the hair and imparting conditioning properties.

  • Delivery of therapeutic agents to a target site
    Patent number: 5490988
    Abstract: An antibody fragment able to bind to a target site is prolonged by an additional peptide. The Therapeutic agent is bound to this peptide or means are provided to bring about such binding. The antibody fragment and possibly also the therapeutic agent are included in a product so that binding to the target site delivers the therapeutic agent to the vicinity. The product may for example be for dental care, such as a toothpaste or mouthwash and the antibody fragment may then bind to a component of dental plaque.
