DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
DETERMINATION OF ADDITION SCHEDULES FOR VP AND DMAPMA TO
FORM A HOMOGENEOUS TERPOLYMER WITH VCL
A. First, a one-pot polymerization of VCL, VP and
DMAPMA monomers was carried out as follows:
F'Y11MDT.T,' 'I
Vinyl caprolactam (591.43 g), vinyl pyrrolidone
(55.57 g), dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA)
(42.56 g) and ethanol (842.8 g) were charged into a 2-liter
water-jacketed resin flask. The reaction flask was equipped
with a condenser, a thermometer, a septum (for catalyst
addition), an anchor type metal stirrer,

CA 02202897 2004-12-17
67369-624
- 5 -
and a nitrogen sparge tube. Nitrogen was bubbled through
the solution while the resin flask was heated using hot
water circulating through the jacketed flask. After the
temperature of the solution reached 68°C., an additional
half-hour was allowed before the first Lupersol 11 (0.25
ml) was injected into the flask. Subsequently, Lupersol
11 additions were made at l0, 40, 70, 100, 140 and 180
minutes after the first addition. The reaction
temperature was brought up to 74°C. and two shots of
Lupersol 554 M75 (0.25 ml) were added at 240 and 330
minutes. The contents were allowed to react for an
additional five hours at 74°C. and then cooled to
35-40°C. After being neutralized with 12.25 g of
concentrated sulfuric acid, the product was discharged.
The relative percentage amounts of residual
monomers present during the course of the one-pot
reaction was determined by gas chromatographic analysis
after sampling the reaction mixture periodically. The
analytical data obtained then was plotted as the graph of
FIGURE 1.
'" As shown in FIGURE 1, the VP and DMAPMA
monomers react much more rapidly than VCL. Accordingly,
after 100 minutes, for example, all the VP and DMAPMA
monomers are consumed while residual VCL monomer still is
available for homopolymerization. Thus the terpolymer
formed is of a composition different from the desired
monomer ratios selected by the precharged amounts of the
two monomers. Under these experimental conditions, the
polymer product obtained is a complex mixture of a
homopolymer which is polyvinyl caprolactam, various
copolymers, and a terpolymer of VCL, VP and DMAPMA of
uncertain composition.

_B. To form a homogeneous terpolymer, it is
necessary that the curve of rate of reaction vs. time for
both VP and DMAPMA substantially coincide or match the
rate of reaction curve for VCL. To accomplish this, the
VCL is precharged and substantially all the VP and DMAPMA '
monomers are fed external to the precharge at a feeding
schedule determined by analysis of the data of FIGURE 1.
The ~ VP and DMAPMA monomers to be fed at time t of the
polymerization is determined from the Asymmetric Double
Sigmoidal Distribution formula, At, below, which has four
adjustable parameters, al, a2, a3 and a4 .
1 1
At = 1 -
a2 a2
1 + exp al - - t 1 + exp al + - t
2 2
a3 a4
where t = time in minutes during copolymerization;
al~is a parameter which determines the center
of the distribution;,
a2 is a parameter which affects the width of
the distribution;
a3 is a parameter which determines the
ascending portion of the distribution; and
a4 is a parameter which determines the
descending portion of the distribution.

where N = time when the polymerization is completed.

To match the VP and DMAPMA curves to the VP
curve of FIGURE 1, an "initial guess" is made for the
values of al, a2, a3 and a4 for each of these monomers.
Then these values are inserted into the At formula and
the % VP and DMAPMA to be fed at time t is calculated.
The resulting % unreacted VP and DMAPMA during this
polymerization will probably not match the % unreacted VP
at the same time t. If the % unreacted VP or DMAPMA at
time t is too large, then the value of a3 (ascendency) in
the At formula is increased, a4 (descendency) is
decreased, al (center) is decreased, and a2 (width) is
decreased. Conversely, if the initial guess values of al
through a4 give a reaction rate for VP or DMAPMA which is
too fast, then changes in the values of al through a4 are
made in a direction opposite to those discussed above.
These new values of the parameters are then
used to determine a new feeding schedule. Using this
feeding schedule, another polymerization is carried out,
and the process of adjustment of the parameters described
above is repeated.
This process is known as °'interative fitting"
of data to a curve. After 4 or 5 such iterative
fittings, the experimental VCL, VP and DMAPMA curves will
be matched, as shown in FIGURE 2 herein.
The matched curves of VCL, VP and DMAPMA in
FIGURE 2 will have at least one set of values for al, a2,
a3 and a4 (the last set of the iterative fitting process)
for suitable feeding of VP and DMAPMA over the entire
period of polymerization. One such set is:
VP DMAPMA
al = 1 al = 32
a2 = 10 a2 = 50
a3 = 1 a3 = 15
a4 = 30 a4 = 75

terpolymer of VCL, VP, and DMAPMA can be prepared as
described in Example 2 below.

EXAMPLE 2
Pret~aration of a Homoaeneous Tert~olvmer of
85% VCL. 10% VP and 5% DMAPMA
Vinyl caprolactam (VCL) (602.1 g - 100%), vinyl
pyrrolidone (28.1 g - 50.4%), DMAPMA (4.38 g - 10.1%) and
ethanol (858 g) (45% solids) were charged into a 2-liter
resin pot equipped with a gas inlet, a liquid inlet, a
thermometer and a condenser. The pH of the solution was
adjusted to about 7.5 with KOH. Then a stream of
nitrogen is introduced which bubbles through the solution
during the reaction. The solution was gradually heated
to 65°C. Then VP (63.2 g) and DMAPMA (51.4 g) were
introduced incrementally into the pot with vigorous
stirring over a period of 5 hours so that the relative
concentrations of the monomeric VCL, VP and DMAPMA
monomer remained practically constant throughout the
reaction at predetermined levels.
As soon as VP and DMAPMA are introduced to the
pot, Lupersol 11 (t-butylperoxy pivalate in mineral
spirits) catalyst is added. The rate of the addition of
the catalyst is such that 2 ml of Lupersol is completely
delivered in 4 hours. The solution is held for an
additional 3 hours at the 68°C. The product is an
alcoholic solution of the homogeneous terpolymer of VCL,
VP and DMAPMA.
180 g of the polymer solution then was
transferred to a 2-liter flask and 500 g of distilled
water was added. The resulting solution then was
stripped under reduced pressure at 40-50°C. on a rotovap
to remove 200 g of solvent (ethanol/water). A clear
viscous polymer solution in water was obtained.
The sequence and mode of addition of monomers
during the process is summarized in Table 1 below and the
plot in Figure 2.

HAIR CARE COMPOSITIONS
In a water-based, rinse-off, hair styling and
conditioning composition, the homogeneous terpolymer of
the invention comprises about 0.2-20%, preferably 1-10%,
and, most preferably, about 2-8%, by weight of the hair
care product, the rest being water, and, optionally
including an organic solvent such as ethanol, and/or
other acceptable adjuvant components such as corrosion
inhibitors, silicones, surface active agents, viscosity
modifiers, dyes, chelating agents, distributing aids,
pearlescent aids, opacifiers, perfumes, fatty alcohols,
pH adjusting agents, and the like. Particularly
desirable are corrosion inhibitors.
The homogeneous terpolymer of the invention
also finds particular utility in multifunctional hair
care products such as water-based, rinse-off hair styling
and conditioning products, and in leave-on hair care
products such as a mousse, and may be included as a
concentrate, or as a gel, and applied as a self-actuated
pump hair spray, or in an aerosol product with a
propellant. Various actuator and packaging devices known
in the art may be used therewith.
PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING HAIR SPRAY
COMPOSITIONS OF INVENTION
A. Pump S ra
The pump hair spray compositions of the
invention were prepared by first dissolving the
homogeneous terpolymer resin in ethanol and adding the
requisite amount of water. The composition then was
packaged into a high density polyethylene bottle fitted
with a suitable pump actuator, e.g. a pump sprayer
(160 ml) with 0.018 x 0.010 inch deep actuator (SEAQUIST
EUROMIST II).

B. Aerosol S ra
The aerosol hair spray resin compositions of
the invention were prepared from 65% by weight of the
hair spray concentrate, a vapor phase inhibitor, a liquid
phase inhibitor, adjuvants where needed, and 35% by
weight of a propellant, e.g. dimethyl ether.
INVENTION EXAMPLES 5-8
The following hair spray compositions of the
invention were prepared in a stainless steel mixing
vessel and mixed at ambient temperature for 20 minutes
with a turbine agitator.
