Water-soluble or water-swellable polymers are described, containing a) 20.0 to 98.99 mole percent of one or more independently recurring structural units of the formula (1) and b) 1.0 to 79.99 mole percent of one or more independently recurring structural units of the formula (2), and c) 0.01 to 8.0 mole percent of one or more independently recurring cross-linking structural units, which are obtained from one or more monomers having at least two olefinic double bonds. The polymers are suitable, for example, as thickeners or yield point formers, in particular in cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical compositions. 

Polymers based on arcrylic, methacrylic or ethacrylic amidoalkyl sulfonic acid or salts and carboxyalky acrylate, methacrylate or ethacrylate or oligomers of said carboxy compounds

Polyesters according to the following formula (I) are described wherein The inventive polyesters have an advantageous stability in alkaline environment, possess a beneficial solubility and advantageously are clearly soluble in alkaline compositions such as alkaline heavy duty washing liquids and also possess advantageous soil release properties.

Polyesters

The invention relates to water-soluble or water-swellable polymers the repeating structural units of which consist of a) 90.0 to 99.99 mole-% of one or more repeating structural units originating from special monomers with sulfonic acid groups or the salts thereof such as for example 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid or the salts thereof and b) 0.01 to 10.0 mole-% of one or more repeating structural units originating from special cross-linking agents with at least three polymerizable double bonds. The polymers for example have an advantageous sensory property profile and are highly suitable as thickening agents even in salt-containing compositions. They are furthermore advantageously suitable for producing cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical compositions.

Cross-linked polymere

The invention relates to water-soluble or water-swellable polymers that contain a) 20.0 to 98.97 mole-% of one or more repeating structural units originating from special monomers with sulfonic acid groups or the salts thereof such as e.g. 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid or the salts thereof, b) 1.0 to 60.0 mole-% of one or more repeating structural units containing an amide group and d) 0.01 to 8.0 mole-% of one or more repeating structural units originating from special crosslinking agents with at least three polymerizable double bonds. The polymers for example have an advantageous sensory property profile and are highly suitable as thickening agents even in salt-containing compositions. They are furthermore advantageously suitable for producing cosmetic, dermatological or pharmaceutical compositions.

Polymers based on sulfonic acids, amides and special cross-linking agents
