Abstract
The present invention relates to absorbent articles comprising species of glyceride copolymers that provide unexpectedly improved softening performance and formulability.
Claims1
An absorbent article comprising a composition, said composition comprising
- A) a glyceride copolymer having formula (I):
- wherein:
- each R1, R2, R3, R4, and R5 in the glyceride copolymer is independently selected from the group consisting of an oligomeric glyceride moiety, a C1-24 alkyl, a substituted C1-24 alkyl wherein the substituent is one or more —OH moieties, a C2-24 alkenyl, or a substituted C2-24 alkenyl wherein the substituent is one or more —OH moieties;
- and/or wherein each of the following combinations of moieties may each independently be covalently linked:
- R1 and R3,
- R2 and R5,
- R1 and an adjacent R4,
- R2 and an adjacent R4,
- R3 and an adjacent R4,
- R5 and an adjacent R4, or
- any two adjacent R4
- such that the covalently linked moieties form an alkenylene moiety;
- each X1 and X2 in said glyceride copolymer is independently selected from the group consisting of a C1-32 alkylene, a substituted C1-32 alkylene wherein the substituent is one or more —OH moieties, a C2-32 alkenylene or a substituted C2-32 alkenylene wherein the substituent is one or more —OH moieties;
- two of G1, G2, and G3 are —CH2—, and one of G2, and G3 is a direct bond;
- for each individual repeat unit in the repeat unit having index n, two of G4, G5, and G6 are —CH2—, and one of G4, G5, and G6 is a direct bond, and the values G4, G5, and G6 for each individual repeat unit are independently selected from the values of G4, G5, and G6 in other repeating units;
- two of G7, G8, and G9 are —CH2—, and one of G7, G8, and G9 is a direct bond;
- n is an integer from 3 to 250;
- with the proviso for each of said glyceride copolymers at least one of R1, R2, R3, and R5, and/or at least one R4 in one individual repeat unit of said repeat unit having index n, is selected from the group consisting of:
- 8-nonenyl;
- 8-decenyl;
- 8-undecenyl;
- 8-dodecenyl;
- 8,11-dodecadienyl;
- 8,11-tridecadienyl;
- 8,11-tetradecadienyl;
- 8,11-pentadecadienyl;
- 8,11,14-pentadecatrienyl;
- 8,11,14-hexadecatrienyl;
- 8,11,14-octadecatrienyl;
- 9-methyl-8-decenyl;
- 9-methyl-8-undecenyl;
- 10-methyl-8-undecenyl;
- 12-methyl-8,11-tridecadienyl;
- 12-methyl-8,11-tetradecadienyl;
- 13-methyl-8,11-tetradecadienyl;
- 15-methyl-8,11,14-hexadecatrienyl;
- 15-methyl-8,11,14-heptadecatrienyl;
- 16-methyl-8,11,14-heptadecatrienyl;
- 12-tridecenyl;
- 12-tetradecenyl;
- 12-pentadecenyl;
- 12-hexadecenyl;
- 13-methyl-12-tetradecenyl;
- 13-methyl-12-pentadecenyl;
- and 14-methyl-12-pentadecenyl;
- and
- mixtures thereof;
- and
- B) optionally a material selected from the group consisting of emollients, structuring agents, viscosity enhancers, surfactants, skin care ingredients, vitamins, moisturizers, perfumes, aesthetic ingredients, enzyme inhibitors, and combinations thereof.
