Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
A method for improving conditioning properties of a hair product comprising adding to said hair product an effective amount of a polymer comprising: (a) about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a quaternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer, wherein alkyl groups are independently selected from alkyl groups of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein said quarternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer's counterion is selected from the group consisting bases of acids having an ionization constant greater than 10 -13 . (b) about 1 to about 40A%, by weight of said polymer, of an anionic monomer selected of the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; wherein the weight average molecular weight of said polymer ranges from about 50,000 to about 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
131 words
A method for improving conditioning properties of a hair product comprising adding to said hair product an effective amount of a polymer comprising: (a) about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a quaternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer, wherein alkyl groups are independently selected from alkyl groups of 1 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein said quarternary diallyl dialkyl ammonium monomer's counterion is selected from the group consisting bases of acids having an ionization constant greater than 10 -13 . (b) about 1 to about 40A%, by weight of said polymer, of an anionic monomer selected of the group consisting of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid; wherein the weight average molecular weight of said polymer ranges from about 50,000 to about 10,000,000, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said alkyl group of (a) is C 1-4 .
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, wherein (a) is selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and (b) is acrylic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said effective amount ranges from about 0.1 to about 5%, by weight, of said hair additive.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said hair additive comprises an active agent and a surfactant.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
10 words
The method of claim 5, wherein said surfactant is anionic.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said counterion is selected from the group consisting of fluoride, chloride, bromide, hydroxide, nitrate, acetate, hydrogen sulfate and primary phosphates.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
92 words
An improved hair product which comprises: a. an active agent; b. an anionic surfactant; c. a copolymer comprising; 1. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride; and 2. about 1 to about 40%, by weight of said polymer, a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid, wherein said polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 10,000,00, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
92 words
An improved hair product which comprises: a. an active agent; b. an anionic surfactant; c. a copolymer comprising; 1. about 60 to about 99%, by weight of said polymer, of a monomer selected from the group consisting of dimethyldiallyl ammonium chloride and diethyldiallyl ammonium chloride; and 2. about 1 to about 40%, by weight of said polymer, a monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, and methacrylic acid, wherein said polymer has a weight average molecular weight ranging from about 50,000 to about 10,000,00, as determined by gel permeation chromatography.
