The invention provides a personal care composition comprising polymers having the structure: wherein Q, R, a, b, and c are described herein. The invention further provides hair care compositions comprising the polymers. Particularly, the hair care composition is a hair styling composition that provides hairstyle retention at a relative humidity exceeding about 40 percent. The invention furthermore provides a method of providing hairstyle retention to hair at a relative humidity exceeding about 40 percent, the method comprising applying to hair the hair care composition as described herein.

Personal care compositions comprising polymers derived from vinyl alcohol ethers and applications thereof

Compositions and methods are disclosed for repairing damaged keratin fibers or otherwise strengthening keratin fibers, including hair of the human scalp, and particularly hair that has been damaged chemically, physically, thermally or by other means. The compositions comprise 3,3'-thiodipropionic acid (TDPA) or a derivative thereof in a cosmetically acceptable vehicle.

Compositions and methods for treating damaged hair

There is a viscoelastic fluid. The fluid has one or more cationic surfactants selected from the group consisting of certain quaternary salts, certain amines, and combinations thereof; one or more anionic polymers/anionic surfactants; one or more of certain zwitterionic/amphoteric surfactants; and water. There is also a method of fracturing a subterranean formation. The viscoelastic fluid is pumped through a wellbore and into a subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to fracture the formation. There is also a method for gravel packing a subterranean formation.

Multicomponent viscoelastic surfactant fluid and method of using as a fracturing fluid

Compositions and methods are disclosed for imparting a long-wearing shine to keratin fibers, including hair. The compositions comprise an aminosilicone polymer having a viscosity from about 800 to about 1,600 mm/s at 25&#xb0; C., and a functional group equivalent weight from about 8,000 to about 14,000 g/mol. The compositions comprise an aminosilicone polymer and optionally a shine enhancer. The compositions are useful for imparting a long-wearing shine to hair.

Hair care compositions

Compositions and methods are disclosed for imparting a long-wearing color to keratin fibers, including hair. More specifically, the invention relates to cosmetic compositions and methods for improving retention of particulate materials, such as pigments, on hair to artificially color the hair and/or to impart other aesthetic benefits to the hair. The compositions comprise at least one aminosilicone polymer having at least one diamino functional group, and a functional group equivalent weight (FGEW) from about 1,000 to about 2,000 g/mol and a non-spherical particulate material, preferably a pigment or a lake.

Wash resistant compositions containing aminosilicone

An aqueous composition for treating hydrocarbon wells contains (a) a scale inhibitor and (b) a viscoelastic surfactant, and further contains from 0 to less than 1% by weight of acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, formic acid, acetic acid, citric acid, maleic acid, hydrofluoric acid, and mixtures thereof.

Scale squeeze treatment systems and methods

A process of preparing a well servicing fluid comprising viscosifying a heavy brine by contacting with a cationic polysaccharide and a composition thereof.

Composition and method for thickening heavy aqueous brines with cationic guar

A method of fracturing a subterranean zone penetrated by a well bore by preparing a foamed fracturing fluid containing a self-degrading foaming composition comprised of a mixture of anionic surfactant and nonionic surfactant. The fracturing fluid containing a self-degrading foaming composition forms a substantially less stable foam when the foamed fracturing fluid is recovered during reclaim.

Method of recycling fracturing fluids using a self-degrading foaming composition

A method for increasing the rate of shear rehealing of fluids made with cationic, zwitterionic, and amphoteric viscoelastic surfactant fluid systems by adding an effective amount of a rheology enhancer package containing, for example a polyethylene glycol-polypropylene glycol block copolymer and a polynaphthalene sulfonate. The rheology enhancer package allows viscoelastic surfactant fluids to be used at lower viscoelastic surfactant concentrations in certain applications, for example certain oilfield treatments, for example fracturing and gravel packing. Preferred surfactants are betaines and quaternary amines.
