Abstract: Surfaces of silicone particles are hydrophilized by plasma treatment. The hydrophilized silicone particles are readily dispersible in aqueous materials without a need for dispersants, typically surfactants. In aqueous cosmetic applications externally applied to the skin such as skin care cosmetics, make-up cosmetics, antiperspirant cosmetics, and UV care cosmetics, for example, products free of skin irritation concern can be formulated because formulation is possible without a need for surfactants.

Abstract: A cosmetic composition comprising an aminoalcohol-modified organopolysiloxane as a surfactant has high emulsion stability and offers favorable properties including non-sticky and moist feelings, long lasting quality, and no strange odor release with the lapse of time.

Abstract: The synthesis and characterization of novel higher order, multi-arm star polymers comprising polyisobutylene arms connected to condensed cyclosiloxane cores are described. The synthesis has been achieved by hydrosilating olefin-capped (e.g., allyl- or isopropenyl-terminated) polyisobutylene with hydrogencyclosiloxanes carrying a plurality of Si--H groups and simultaneously and competitively converting SiH functions, in the presence of moisture, to Si--OH groups to rapidly self-condense or react with SiH groups to form coupled cyclosiloxane cores via core-core coupling. Thus, higher order stars having many more arms than first order stars can be formed.
