Abstract The invention discloses novel organofunctional silicone polymers which have an ether amino pendant functionality present within the polymer. Compounds of the invention by virtue of their ether amino group, deposit on the surface of substrates, either alone or as complexes with cations. Thereby altering the substrate's surface physical properties. The desirable durable properties which can be given to substrates include; softness, lubrication, soil release, and hydrophoblicity. The compounds of the present invention are prepared by introduction of an amino group onto the silicone pendant group. Aminolysis and cyanoethylation of a hydroxy containing silicone polymer, or hydroxy containing vinyl intermediate which is subsequently introduced into the polymer backbone by hydrosilation are the preferred methods for peparing the compounds of the present invention.
A silicone compound which conforms to the following structure: ##STR7## a is an integer from 1 to 200; b is an integer from 1 to 200; R 1 is selected from --(CH 2 ) n CH 3 or phenyl; n is an integer ranging from 0 to 10; R 2 is --(CH 2 ) 3 --(OCH 2 CH 2 )x--(OCH 2 CH(CH 3 ))y--(OCH 2 CH 2 )z--R 3 ; x, y and z are integers and are independently integers ranging from 0 to 20; R 3 is --O(CH 2 ) 3 --N(H)--[(CH 2 ) 3 --N(H)] m --H; m is an integer from 0 to 10.
