Description

The present invention relates to the use of non-ionic, cross-linked (meth) acrylate Polymers with an average particle diameter in the range of 50 to 500 nm to improve the physical properties keratin fibers, as well as hair treatment agents, these polymers contain.

Human hair is used in many different ways today treated with hair cosmetic preparations. These include, for example cleaning the hair with shampoos, care and regeneration with douches and cures as well as bleaching, dyeing and shaping the hair with waving agents, tinting agents and styling preparations.

Both the use of shampoos as well as the decorative design of the hairstyle, for example To dye or perms are interventions that are just like environmental influences natural Affect structure and properties of hair. So afterwards you can such treatment or by environmental factors such as exposure more intense Sun exposure, for example, the wet and dry combability, the hold, the fullness, the softness and feel of the hair may be unsatisfactory or the hair raised Have split ends or "fly" due to electrostatic charge.

It has therefore been common practice for a long time Subjecting hair to a special after-treatment. This will, usually in the form of a rinse or hair treatment, the hair with special active ingredients, for example quaternary Ammonium salts or special polymers treated. Through this Depending on the formulation, combability, hold and fullness of the treatment Hair improves and the split rate reduced.

Combination preparations were also developed, to the effort of the usual multi-stage process, especially for direct application by the consumer.

Example 2: Production of a polymer based on ethyl methacrylate and N-vinyl pyrrolidone ("EMA-VP")

480 ml of deionized water, 4.1 g of ethyl methacrylate, 15.9 g of N-vinylpyrrolidone, 5.4 g of alkylarylpolyglycol ether sulfate sodium salt and 1 g of N, N-methylenebisacrylamide were weighed into a 2-liter four-necked flask and under a N ₂ atmosphere and heated to reflux with stirring at 200 rpm to 70 ° C. After 30 minutes, 0.8 g of potassium peroxodisulfate in 30 ml of demineralized water was added, and the reaction was ended after a further 4 hours. A dispersion was obtained, the viscosity of which was 5 MPas (20 ° C., 20 rpm). The aqueous dispersion was then dialyzed to reduce the level of residual monomers, which is desirable for use in cosmetics. After dialysis, the residual content of N-vinylpyrrolidone was 9 ppm and that of ethyl methacrylate was 16 ppm. The hydrogel particles synthesized in this way had an average particle diameter of approximately 100 to 300 nm at room temperature. They showed no glass temperature below 90 ° C (measurement by MDSC).
