What is described herein is a crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPP) copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and monomer derived from 1-vinyl-3-(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone (EVP).

Crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPP) copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone

This invention relates to a crosslinked N-vinyl lactam polymer in the form of a stable, clear, flowable homogenized hydrogel composed of microparticles which can be passed through a screen of between about 40 and about 350 mesh size. The invention also concerns a clear, colorless, hydrogel which is required as a carrier for a cosmetically or pharmaceutically active substance such as a hair or skin conditioner and cosmetic or pharmaceutical skin base.

Clear, homogenized, flowable hydrogel of crosslinked N-vinyl lactam

Crosslinked copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone (VP) and dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) for use in personal care products are made herein in aqueous solution by copolymerization of VP and DMAEMA monomers in aqueous solution using 1-vinyl-3-(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone (EVP) as the crosslinking agent. The product is a one-phase, aqueous gel of the copolymer which is useful in hair care products.

Crosslinked copolymers of vinyl pyrrolidone and dimethylaminoethyl

A crosslinked PVP-I.sub.2 foam product, useful as an iodophor, contains about 0.1-2% crosslinker and about 16-18% total inorganic iodine.

Crosslinked PVP-I2 foam product

A one-step for making a lightly-crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone hydrogel by polymerizing vinyl pyrrolidone in water in the presence of a suitable crosslinker such as 1-vinyl-3(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone and a free radical initiator under initial agitation conditions sufficient to overcome the inertia of the polymer when formed.

One-step process for making lightly-crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone

This invention relates to a crosslinked N-vinyl lactam polymer in the form of a stable, homogenized flowable hydrogel having microparticles which can be passed through a screen of between about 40 and about 350 mesh size. The invention also concerns the process for the preparation of the homogenized gel and to its use as a hair and skin conditioner or as a carrier for a cosmetically or pharmaceutically active substance.

Homogenized flowable hydrogel of crosslinked N-vinyl lactam polymer

This invention relates to an acidic non-irritating lotion, cream or ointment for rejuvenating skin and hair which comprises a micronized, homogenized hydrogel of a crosslinked N-vinyl lactam polymer and an organic rejuvenating agent selected from the group consisting of pyruvic acid, a mono- or poly-carboxylated C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 hydrocarbon optionally substituted with from 1 to 3 hydroxy groups and ammonium and alkali metal salts of said acids and mixtures thereof including mixtures of the acids and/or said salts.

Non-irritating skin and hair rejuvenating compostion having a pH between

A polymerizable composition consisting essentially of about 50 to about 90% by weight of vinylpyrrolidone monomer, about 10 to about 50% by weight of vinyl caprolactam monomer, and about 0.5 to about 7% by weight of a crosslinker, which is capable of proliferous polymerization in the absence of base at about 80.degree.-120.degree. C.

Polymerizable composition of vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl caprolactam

What is provided herein is a colorless, purified polymerizable composition useful for the production of crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone. The polymerizable composition includes about 74-96% by weight vinylpyrrolidone monomer and 4-26% by weight of the isomeric compound 1-vinyl-3(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone as crosslinker. The polymerizable composition is used to make crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone rapidly upon heating the composition at about 80.degree.-120.degree. C. in the absence of base.

Colorless, purified polymerizable composition useful for the production

This invention relates to a continuous film, coating, membrane or extruded filament of a crosslinked vinyl lactam polymer having excellent substrate adhesion, a glass transition temperature (Tg) above 150.degree. C. and water repellent properties. The invention also relates to the method of preparing and using filaments, coatings and membranes of said crosslinked polymeric product.

Films and extrusions of cured crosslinked vinyl lactam polymer and

This invention relates to a moldable crosslinked vinyl lactam polymer composition and to a transparent, formed gel product obtained therefrom having desired flexibility coupled with high mechanical strength and dimensional and thermal stability. The invention also relates to the method of preparing said molded gel products.

Molded crosslinked vinyl lactam polymer gel and method of preparation

What is provided herein is a process for obtaining a polymerizable reaction solution which includes 5-30% by weight of a crosslinker which is the isomeric compound 1-vinyl-3(E)-ethylidene pyrrolidone and 50-80% by weight of a monomer which is vinylpyrrolidone. The polymerizable solution can be used to make crosslinked polyvinylpyrrolidone rapidly upon heating the solution at about 80.degree.-120.degree. C. in the absence of base.
