Methods for manufacturing drug delivery systems are provided. The drug delivery systems may include a substrate coated with at least one polymer and at least one active compound. The substrate may include yarns, yarn precursors, threads, filaments, fibers, and/or other suitable substrates. The methods may include disposing a solution including a monomer and an active compound on the substrate. The methods may also include exposing the solution and the substrate to UV light to initiate polymerization of the solution.

Delivery systems

A rheology modifier/hair styling resin which is a crosslinked, linear poly(vinyl amide/polymerizable carboxylic acid) copolymer exhibits advantageous hair care properties of high viscosity and long-lasting curl retention.

Rheology modifier/hair styling resin

A delivery system for delivering a tooth whitening substance to a surface of an oral cavity, comprising a film of flexible malleable polymer material having a tooth whitening substance as an integral component of said film, thus providing an active on said oral surface when said film is adhered to the oral surface, said film having a dissolution rate in the aqueous medium of the oral cavity such that the tooth whitening substance can release its active upon said oral surface to act effectively thereon within a predetermined period of time, said film being disintegrable thereafter after effecting its tooth whitening action.

Delivery system for a tooth whitener

A process of making a vinyl caprolactam (VCL)-based polymer which comprises suspension polymerizing the monomers in aqueous medium in the absence of an added protective colloid, wherein polymer formed at an early stage of the polymerization functions as a dispersing agent to maintain polymer particles suspended in water throughout the polymerization.

Process for making vinyl caprolactam-based polymers

A composition for preventing or retarding the formation of gas hydrates during the transport of a fluid comprising water and a hydrocarbon through a conduit. The composition is a homopolymer of vinyl caprolactam, or copolymers thereof, having a low molecular weight in the range of 500 to 2500, which is made in a polymerization solvent, preferably a glycol ether, most preferably 2-butoxyethanol and also including a carrier solvent, preferably monoethylene glycol.

Method for preventing or retarding the formation of gas hydrates

Described herein is a process of corrosion inhibition of a steel pipeline during transport of water and gas, or water and an oil, or mixtures thereof, therethrough, including introducing a copolymer of vinyl caprolactam and vinylpyridine into said pipeline.

Corrosion inhibition during transport of water and a hydrocarbon through a pipeline

This invention relates to dye complexing polymers, and, more particularly, to water soluble poly(isopropenylpyridine) betaines containing a quaternary nitrogen and a carboxylate salt or carboxylic acid group. The polymers herein have effective dye complexing properties for use, for example, laundry detergent and fabric softener compositions.

Water soluble dye complexing polymers

A composition for preventing or retarding the formation of gas hydrates during the transport of a fluid comprising water and a hydrocarbon through a conduit. The composition is a copolymer of vinyl caprolactam and vinyl pyridine, and terpolymers thereof, with vinyl pyrrolidone, preferably including 70-97% by weight vinyl caprolactam. Suitably such polymers have a molecular weight in the range of 500 to 2500, and are made in a polymerization solvent, preferably a glycol ether, most preferably, 2-butoxyethanol; and also including a carrier solvent, preferably monoethylene glycol.

A composition is provided herein for preventing or retarding the formation of gas hydrates or for reducing the tendency of gas hydrates to agglomerate, during the transport of a fluid comprising water and a hydrocarbon, through a conduit. The composition is a homopolymer of vinyl caprolactam having the low molecular weight in the range of 500 to 2500, or copolymers thereof, in a defined solvent. Such homopolymers and copolymers preferably are made and applied in the defined solvent, which, most preferably, is a glycol ether such as 2-butoxyethanol.
