Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for a method and compounds for managing dag on hair. The method of managing dag on hair includes applying a low energy compound including a silicone and a terminal reactive group to the hair and applying a hair binding moiety to the hair for functionalizing the low energy compound, at its terminal reactive group, to bind to the hair. The applied low energy compound enables ease of removal of dag from the hair or mitigation of dag formation on the hair. The functionalized low energy compound may be made prior to the application to the hair. 9111027_1 (GHMatters) P106026.AU providing a low energy compound comprising silicone and a terminal reactive group, wherein the silicone is represented by the chemical structure: CH 3 CH 3 CH3 /V 'I I Si 0 S.Al CH3 _H 3 n CH3 wherein n = 10 - 100 attaching a hair binding moiety to the terminal reactive group and functionalizing the low energy compound with a hair binding moiety providing a medium that comprises the functionalized low energy compound applying the medium to the hair bonding the hair binding moiety to the hair and thereby bonding the low energy compound comprising silicone to the hair transferring the low energy of the compound comprising silicone to the hair easing the removal of dag from the hair or mitigating dag formation on the hair
Abstract:
A compound includes a boron atom attached to at least one C8-C26 fatty acid residue having at least one C=C moiety. Such compounds are polymerizable through the at least one C=C moiety. Polymers thus formed exhibit anti fouling properties when used as coatings.
Abstract:
Hydrophilic coating compositions and methods to make and use the compositions are disclosed. The compositions may include at least one metal organic oxide and at least one inorganic photocatalytic pigment. The metal organic oxide may contact the inorganic photocatalytic pigment non covalently. A coating composition may be applied to a substrate to coat the substrate.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are gemini surfactants, and methods for making and using these gemini surfactants. These gemini surfactants may be incorporated in paints and coatings to provide hydrophilic and/or self-cleaning properties.
Abstract:
A polymer includes a monomeric repeat unit represented by Formula I: In Formula I, R1 is alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heteroaryl, cycloalkyl, or heterocyclyl; R2 is alkyl, haloalkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl; R3 is alkyl, OH, halo, or alkoxy; R4 is alkyl, OH, halo, or alkoxy; Y is absent, C(O), C1-C4 alkylidene, or C1-C4 alkylideneamino; L is alkylidene, alkylidene-O-alkylidene, alkylidene-S-alkylidene, alkenylidene, cycloalkylidene, arylene, heteroarylene, C(O)O, or C(O)S; n1 is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4; and n2 is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Abstract:
Hydrophilic coating compositions and methods to make and use the compositions are disclosed. The compositions include a polymer comprising a plurality of isocyanate groups and a blocking agent contacting at least one of the plurality of isocyanate groups. Decorative coatings and paints are high volume consumer products. A function of a decorative coating is to make an object look more visually appealing. The coating can also afford some degree of substrate protection. A coating keeps dirt from sticking to the surface, is self-cleaning, and contains environmental friendly chemicals. Hydrophobic polymer emulsions with a hydrophilic surface that is self-cleaning. The hydrophilic surface provides a large contact angle with water and helps water to sheath off, leaving it clean. The hydrophilic surface constantly renews itself as it is worn.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are hydrophilic microfibers and hydrophilic nanofibers, and methods for making these hydrophilic microfibers and nanofibers. The hydrophilic microfibers and/or nanofibers provide hydrophilic and/or self-cleaning properties when incorporated in paints and coatings.
