Novel conditioning polymers containing (meth)acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride, meth(acrylic acid) or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and, optionally, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.22 alkyl (meth) acrylate and the use thereof in a cosmetically acceptable medium for the treatment of a keratin-containing substrate are disclosed.
Novel branched or crosslinked polymers containing (meth)acrylamidopropyltrimethyl ammonium halide; (meth)acrylic acid or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid; methylene bis-acryamide and the like; and a C.sub.4 -C.sub.22 alkyl (meth) acrylate and the use thereof in papermaking, subterranean well drilling and well cementing operations is disclosed.
Novel water soluble polymers in solution or water-in-oil emulsion form are disclosed containing quaternary ammonium monomers; and optionally (meth)acrylic acid or 2-(meth)acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid; methylene bis-acryamide and the like; and a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl (meth) acrylate acrylamide or methacrylamide and the use thereof in hair, skin and nail conditioning; papermaking; and subterranean well drilling and well cementing operations.
A composition for treating a keratin based substrate that includes a cosmetically acceptable medium containing a water-soluble interjacent complex. The water-soluble interjacent complex includes a first water-soluble polymer and a second water-soluble polymer formed by polymerizing one or more water-soluble monomers in the presence of the first water-soluble polymer. The water-soluble interjacent complex is characterized in that it forms a solution in water that is free of insoluble polymer particles. The water-soluble interjacent complex is used in a method of treating a keratin based substrate, whereby a cosmetically acceptable medium is applied to the substrate and contains from 0.1-20% by weight of the water-soluble interjacent complex.
