Method of using personal and home care compositions containing a sol-gel derived material

A method of making a sol-gel derived material, the method comprising:

• combining
• (a) at least one first alkoxysilane precursor having a formula:
• (R′O)3—Si—(CH2)n—Ar—(CH2)m—Si—(OR′)3
• where
• n and m are individually an integer from 1 to 8, Ar is a single-, fused-, or poly-aromatic ring, and each R′ is independently a C1 to C5 alkyl group;
• and
• (b) at least one second alkoxysilane precursor having a formula:
• where x is 1;
• y is 2 or 3;
• z is 0 or 1;
• the total of x+y+z is 4;
• each R is independently an organic functional group, each an R′ is independently a C1 to C5 alkyl group and R″ is an organic bridging group;
• and
• (c) a solvent, to form an alkoxysilane precursor reaction medium;
• and
• catalyzing hydrolysis and condensation of the alkoxysilane precursors by adding to the reaction medium a catalytic solution comprising a base catalyst and water, thereby obtaining a reaction product;
• aging the reaction product
• thereby obtaining a sol-gel derived material having residual silanol groups;
• and
• reacting the residual silanol groups with a derivatization reagent, thereby obtaining a sol-gel derived material having end-capped silanol groups.
