Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprises a silicone organic elastomer comprising an amino functional group, and at least one cosmetic ingredient, generally in a cosmetically acceptable medium. The silicone organic elastomer is a reaction product of: (A) a linear, branched or cyclic organohydrogensiloxane comprising at least one (1) silicon-bonded hydrogen atom; and (B) a XZ?n derivative comprising at least two (2) unsaturated aliphatic groups; in the presence of (C) a hydrosilylation catalyst. X is an amine group containing compound, Z? is a ring-opened ethylenically-unsaturated epoxide comprising at least one (1) unsaturated aliphatic group and n=1 or 2. A process of preparing the cosmetic composition and method of using the cosmetic composition are also disclosed.

Abstract: An intermediate reaction product to speed the reaction for producing capped MQ resins is disclosed. The intermediate reaction product includes an MQ-type silicone resin; a halosilane capping agent; and a polar organic compound. Optionally, a condensation catalyst and a solvent may be added to prepare the intermediate reaction product. Also, a method for preparing a reaction product to speed the reaction for producing capped MQ resins is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of combining ingredients comprising: an MQ-type silicone resin; a halosilane capping agent; and a polar organic compound. Optionally, a condensation catalyst and a solvent may be added to prepare the reaction product.

Abstract: A process for preparing an aminofunctional silicone emulsion is disclosed comprising: I) forming a mixture of 100 parts of a polydialkylsiloxane having a viscosity of at least 50,000 mm2/s at 23° C., and 0.1 to 100 parts of an aminofunctional organopolysiloxane, II) admixing to the mixture of step I 0.1 to 50 parts of a halide free quaternary ammonium surfactant, and a sufficient amount of water to form an emulsion, III) optionally, further shear mixing the emulsion; and IV) adding a sufficient amount of an acid of the formula H+X? to provide the emulsion with a neutral pH, where X is the same counter ion used in the quaternary ammonium surfactant.

Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a construction consisting of in the order from the outside towards the inside: an occlusive or non-occlusive backing substrate; a drug-loaded layer including a therapeutic concentration of at least one or a combination of cosmetic and/or pharmaceutical active ingredients; a permeable or semi-permeable support substrate; a non-drug loaded cured silicone gel adhesive layer cured onto the permeable or semi-permeable support substrate; and a temporary release liner configured to protect the cured silicone gel adhesive layer.

Abstract: A composition is capable of curing via condensation reaction. The composition uses a new condensation reaction catalyst. The new condensation reaction catalyst is used to replace conventional tin catalysts. The composition can react to form a gum, gel, rubber, or resin.

Abstract: This invention comprises filled silicone compositions initially having a slump of at least 2.5 millimeters when tested described in ASTM D2202-00(2010) except temperature shall be 25 degrees Celsius and time shall be 5 minutes, and a method of preparing and uses of the composition.

Abstract: A fluorosilicone reaction product of a mercapto or vinyl functional organopolysiloxane and a fluorine-containing monomer, and methods of preparing the fluorosilicone are disclosed. The fluorosilicone products are suitable for application to substrates such as textiles, particularly fabrics, to impart oil repellent properties to the textile. The fluorosilicone reaction product is prepared from (A) a fluorine-containing monomer of the formula CH2?C(X)COOYRf, and (B) a mercapto or vinyl functional organopolysiloxane.

Abstract: A fiber structure and method of making the same are provided. The fiber structure comprises a microfiber structure having a nanofiber thereon. The nanofiber is formed by electrospinning a precursor solution to form a precursor nanofiber. The electrospun precursor nanofiber is deposited on the microfiber structure and fused therewith. In one preferable embodiment, silica nanofibers are formed on and fused with a glass microfiber.

Abstract: A fiber reinforced composite including layers of fibers, each layer being impregnated with a resin. The layers include in combination a layer of an addition cured silicone resin and a layer of an organic resin. The layers form a hybrid composite having a higher modulus retention at elevated temperatures than the addition cured silicone resin alone. The hybrid composite's mechanical properties are similar to the organic resin composite, but demonstrate enhanced thermal resistance and reduced flammability.
