Claims25
A silicone material, comprising:
- a) a homopolymer polymer network, said homopolymer polymer network comprising a polymerized product of a monomeric polyfunctional organosilicone compound, said polyfunctional organosilicone compound comprising, on average per molecule of the compound, one or more alkenyl substituents and one or more silicon-bonded hydride substituents, and
- (b) a fluid within the network.
A method for making a silicone material, comprising polymerizing a polyfunctional organosilicone compound, said polyfunctional organosilicone compound comprising, on average per molecule of the compound, one or more alkenyl substituents and one or more silicon-bonded hydride substituents, in the presence of a fluid to form a polymer network with the fluid within the network.
A method for making a polyfunctional organosiloxane compound, comprising equilibrating one or more linear or cyclic siloxanes with a silylhydride functional siloxane and an alkenyl functional siloxane in the presence of a linear phosphonitrile chloride equilibration catalyst.
A personal care composition comprising a polymerized product of a polyfunctional organosilicone compound, said polyfunctional organosilicone compound comprising, on average per molecule of the compound, one or more alkenyl substituents and one or more silicon-bonded hydride substituents.
A method for making a personal care composition, comprising combining one or more personal care ingredients with a polymerized product of a polyfunctional organosilicone compound, said polyfunctional organosilicone compound comprising, on average per molecule of the compound, one or more alkenyl substituents and one or more silicon-bonded hydride substituents.
A method for reversibly imparting characteristics of a solid to a fluid, comprising combining the fluid with a polymer network, said network comprising a polymerized product of a polyfunctional organosilicone compound, said polyfunctional organosilicone compound comprising, on average per molecule of the compound, one or more alkenyl substituents and one or more silicon-bonded hydride substituents and said network being swellable by the fluid, so that the fluid is contained within the polymer network.
