Patent number: 8044156Abstract: Disclosed are multi-purpose polymers that are the polymerization product of a monomer mixture comprising at least one amino-substituted vinyl monomer; at least one nonionic vinyl monomer; at least one associative vinyl monomer; at least one semihydrophobic vinyl surfactant monomer; and, optionally, comprising one or more hydroxy-substituted nonionic vinyl monomer, crosslinking monomer, chain transfer agent or polymeric stabilizer. These vinyl addition polymers have a combination of substituents, including amino substituents that provide cationic properties at low pH, hydrophobic substituents, hydrophobically modified polyoxyalkylene substituents, and hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene substituents. The polymers provide surprisingly beneficial rheological properties in acidic aqueous compositions, and are compatible with cationic materials. The multi-purpose polymers are useful in a variety of products for personal care, health care, household care, institutional and industrial care, and industrial applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 22, 2008Date of Patent: October 25, 2011Assignee: Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Inc.Inventors: Krishnan Tamareselvy, Thomas A. Barker, James E. Mullee, Charles T. Greenslade, Julie F. Schmucker-Castner, Deborah S. Filla

Patent number: 7217752Abstract: A stable, aqueous composition containing a substantially crosslinked alkali-swellable acrylate copolymer rheology modifier, a surfactant, an alkaline material, and various compounds therein, as for example substantially insoluble materials requiring suspension or stabilization, such as a silicone, an oily material, or a pearlescent material. Additionally, this invention also relates to the formation of a rheologically and phase stable cationic hair dye composition. The invention further relates to the incorporation of an acidic material after the addition of an alkaline material to reduce the pH of the composition without negatively impacting the viscosity of the composition.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2005Date of Patent: May 15, 2007Assignee: Noveon, Inc.Inventors: Julie F. Schmucker-Castner, Hal Ambuter, Marcia Snyder, Ashley A. Weaver, Sahira Kotian
