Abstract: The invention relates to a new modified polyacrylate comprising fluorinated oxetane (FOX) polymer units functionalized with an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid and siloxane units and to its use as slip- and leveling agent and anti-cratering agent for a variety of applications. Thus, the invention relates to a slip- and leveling agent characterized in that it comprises a copolymer which is obtained by copolymerizing A at least one unit of a fluorinated oxetane polymer functionalized with an unsaturated dicarboxylic acid; B at least one terminal reactive polysiloxane unit; C at least one alkyl(meth)acrylate unit or cycloalkyl(meth)acrylate unit and/or (meth)acrylic acid and/or other units originating from vinylic compounds that can form radicals.

Abstract: Topically applicable, water-resistant cosmetic or dermatological compositions well suited for the UV-photoprotection of human skin and/or hair comprising an effective UV-photoprotecting amount of: (a) at least one UV screening agent from various classes and particularly effect mixtures thereof; and, (b) at least one random terpolymer; and, optionally, (c) other cosmetically acceptable ingredients. The various classes of UV-protecting compounds or UV sunscreens of special interest are selected from the groups b1 sparingly soluble micronized organic UV absorber, b2 Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, b3 at least one oil soluble organic UV absorber, b4 at least one inorganic UV absorber and b5 at least one water soluble UV absorber further defined herein. The present invention also relates to personal care compositions comprising at least one random terpolymer and other cosmetically acceptable ingredients.

Abstract: Topically applicable, water-resistant cosmetic or dermatological compositions well suited for the cosmetic color compositions for human skin and/or hair comprising at least one (a) coloring agent; (b) at least one random terpolymer; and, optionally (c) other cosmetically acceptable ingredients.

Abstract: The invention relates to a dispersing agent comprising: the reaction product of A one or more polyisocyanates having an average functionality of from 2.0 to 5, with B a mixture from B1 monohydroxyl compounds, and B2 monohydroxy-, monocarboxylic acid compounds to form an intermediate, followed by reacting the intermediate with C an unsaturated monohydroxy functional anchoring group.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of a diasteromerically enriched phenylglycine amide derivative in which an enantiomerically enriched phenylglycine amide is converted into the corresponding Schiff base with the aid of compound R2—C(O)—R3, and the Schiff base obtained is subsequently converted into the diastereomerically enriched phenyglycine amide derivative with the aid of a cyanide source, a reducing agent or an allyl organometallic compound. The phenylglycine amide derivatives obtained are interesting starting materials for the preparation of for example enantiomerically enriched &agr;- and or &bgr;-amino acids and derivatives thereof, such as amides and esters, and amines.
