7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups, which may be preferably used as a thickening agent for cosmetics and the like.
BACKGROUND
A variety of copolymers are known as copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate, which are used in thickening agents for cosmetics and the like; moisturizers for cataplasms and the like; emulsifiers; suspension stabilizers for suspensions; and the like. For example, a copolymer obtained by reacting a specific amount of olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 10-30) (See Patent Document 1), a copolymer obtained by reacting a specific amount of olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 10-30) and a cross linking agent (See Patent Document 2), a copolymer obtained by reacting olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 8-30) (See Patent Document 3) and the like are known.
These copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate are used in the above applications usually after dissolving into water and the like and neutralize with alkali to form a neutralized viscous liquid at a concentration of about 0.1 to 1 weight %.
This neutralized viscous liquid had a problem that their viscosity or transmittance reduces and a part of the copolymer precipitates when electrolytes used as various raw materials for products or additives coexist even at relatively low concentrations.
In particular, recently, in a field of cosmetics and the like, cosmetics containing high amounts of minerals and the like in order to differentiate from other products as well as various properties, for example, good appearances such as transparency, non-sticky texture and the like are in the spotlight. Therefore, it is desired to invent a thickening agent which can form a neutralized viscous liquid having a high viscosity and a high transmittance even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
In addition, from a viewpoint of reducing manufacturing costs, it is desired to invent a thickening agent having properties leading to improvement in manufacturing efficiencies in a variety of manufacturing processes.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is able to produce a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exist, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes, and a thickening agent containing the same.
The present invention relates to, as will be described, water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups.
(1) A water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is obtained by polymerizing 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, 0.5-5 parts by weight of alkyl (meth)acrylate comprising an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, and 0-0.1 parts by weight of a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups, wherein a 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquid shows a viscosity of 1500 mPa·s or lower and a transmittance of 90% or higher, and when 0.25-5 parts by weight of sodium chloride is added to 100 parts by weight of the neutralized viscous liquid, the liquid shows a highest viscosity of 15000-40000 mPa·s and a transmittance of 90% or higher.
(2) The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to (1), wherein the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups is at least one selected from a group consisting of pentaerythritol allyl ether, diethylene glycol diallyl ether, polyethylene glycol diallyl ether and polyallyl saccharose.
(3) A thickening agent comprising the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to (1) or (2).
The present invention will be explained in detail as below.
Additionally, in the present invention, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid are inclusively described as (meth)acrylic acid.
Further, in the present invention, neutralization for the neutralized viscous liquid is to make the pH of the liquid 6.5-7.5.
In the present invention, the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups is obtained by polymerizing (meth) acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 and optionally a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups.
The alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 used in the present invention is an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and higher alcohol which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, for example, an ester of (meth) acrylic acid and stearyl alcohol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and eicosanol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and behenyl alcohol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and tetracosanol and the like. Among them, stearyl methacrylate, eicosanoyl methacrylate, behenyl methacrylate and tetracosanyl methacrylate are preferably used because viscosity properties and textures are excellent regarding neutralized viscous liquids of the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained therefrom and the liquids in the presence of electrolytes. Additionally, as an alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, commercial products, for example, a product BLEMMER VMA70 manufactured by NOF Corporation and the like may be used.
When (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 are combined in the present invention, either or both of (meth) acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate may be used alone or in a combination of two or more, respectively.
The amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 used in the present invention is 0.5-5 parts by weight, more preferably 1-3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid. When the amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 is less than 0.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, it is possible that a transmittance in the presence of electrolyte of a neutralized viscous liquid of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups is insufficient, while when the amount is more than parts by weight, it is possible that water-solubility of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates.
The compounds having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups optionally used in the present invention are not especially limited but compounds in which the ethylenic unsaturated groups are allyl groups are preferable. Among them, pentaerythritol allyl ether such as pentaerythritol diallyl ether, pentaerythritol triallyl ether and pentaerythritol tetraallyl ether and the like, diethylene glycol diallyl ether, polyethylene glycol diallyl ether and polyallyl saccharose are more preferable. These compounds having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups may be used alone or in combination of two or more of them.
The amount of the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups used in the present invention is 0.001-0.1 parts by weight, more preferably 0.001-0.044 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid. When the amount of the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups is more than 0.1 parts by weight, it is possible that a transmittance in the presence of electrolyte of a neutralized viscous liquid of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates or the liquid becomes clouded.
In the present invention, a method for obtaining the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups by polymerizing (meth)acrylic acid and 0.5-5 parts by weight of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid and, optionally 0-0.1 parts by weight of a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid is not especially limited but ordinary methods such as a method for polymerizing these materials by stirring them in a solvent under an inactive gas atmosphere in the presence of a polymerization initiator and the like may be used.
Inactive gases for producing an inactive gas atmosphere include, for example, a nitrogen gas, an argon gas and the like.
The aforementioned solvent is not especially limited insofar as they dissolve (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 and a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups but not the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups and do not inhibit a polymerization reaction.
Examples of such a solvent include, for example, normal pentane, normal hexane, normal heptane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane and the like. Among them, normal hexane and normal heptane are preferably used.
The amount of the solvent to be used is preferably 300-5000 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid from viewpoints of improving stirring workability and economy.
The aforementioned polymerization initiator is preferably a radical polymerization initiator for example, α,α′-azoisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis-2,4-dimethylvarelonitrile, 2,2′-azobismethylisobutylate and the like. Among them, 2,2′-azobismethylisobutylate is preferably used from a viewpoint that a high molecular weight of water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups can be obtained.
The amount of the polymerization initiator to be used is desirably 0.00003-0.002 moles with respect to 1 mole of (meth) acrylic acid. When the amount of the polymerization initiator is less than 0.00003 moles, it is possible that polymerization reaction rate is slow to be not economic. When the amount of the polymerization initiator is more than 0.002 moles, it is possible that polymerization progresses rapidly to make reaction control difficult.
The reaction temperature is preferably 50-90° C., more preferably 55-75° C. When the reaction temperature is lower than 50° C., it is possible that the viscosity of the reaction solution increases to make uniformly-stirring difficult. When the reaction temperature is above 90° C., it is possible that polymerization progresses rapidly to make reaction control difficult.
The reaction time, which depends on the reaction temperature, is usually 0.5-5 hours.
The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups of the present invention may be obtained by heating the reaction solution for example at 80-130° C. after completion of the reaction to evaporate the solvent. When the heating temperature is lower than 80° C., it is possible that it takes long time to evaporate the solvent. When the heating temperature is above 130° C., it is possible that water-solubility of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates.
The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups thus obtained is characterized in that a 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquid obtained from the copolymer shows a viscosity of 1500 mPa·s or lower and a transmittance of 90% or higher, and when 0.25-5 parts by weight of sodium chloride is added to 100 parts by weight of the neutralized viscous liquid, the liquid shows a highest viscosity of 15000-40000 mPa·s and a transmittance of 90% or higher. Usually, a liquid is considered to be transparent when a transmittance is 90% or higher.
In viscosity measurements, 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids having with a pH of 6.5-7.5, which is formed by dissolving a predetermined amount of the water-soluble copolymers to an appropriate amount of pure water with stirring and adding a predetermined concentration of sodium hydroxide or, if required, electrolyte-added solutions prepared by adding a predetermined amount of sodium chloride and stirring are used as evaluation samples after standing for one hour.
Viscosity is measured at 25° C. after one minute rotating at a rotational speed of 20 rpm by using a BH type rotational viscometer with a spindle rotor No. 6.
In the present invention, a transmittance is measured at a wavelength of 425 nm in a cell with a light path length of 1 cm after degassed a sample by centrifuging.
For example, neutralized viscous liquids which has a pH of 6.5-7.5 and contains the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention at about 1 weight % may be used as a thickening agent for cosmetics and the like, wherein the neutralized viscous liquids are formed by dissolving the copolymer to pure water such as deionized water and neutralizing with alkali.
Alkalis used to neutralize the copolymer solution are not particularly limited but include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, amines such as triethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, and the like. Among them, sodium hydroxide is preferably used.
The neutralized viscous liquids obtained from the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention have a very low viscosity when no electrolyte exists and have a greatly increased viscosity when electrolytes are added. Further, the neutralized viscous liquids have a high viscosity and a high transmittance and have moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
It is not clearly understood why the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention shows the above property. However, it is presumed that by using a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, the alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 introduced into the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups associate with each other in an aqueous solution via hydrophobic interaction to increase viscosity and thereby effects of electrolytes change.
Accordingly, use of the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention allows manufacturing cosmetics excellent in transparency and having moist texture without stickiness regardless of a relatively high concentration of various electrolytes as additives.
Such cosmetics include, for example, lotion, emulsion, serum, cream, cream pack, massage cream, cleansing cream, cleansing gel, cleansing foam, sunscreen, styling gel, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, foundation and the like.
In addition, due to a low viscosity in the absence of electrolytes, those thickening agents are very useful from a viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency for cosmetics and the like. That is, since a viscosity of a solution may be maintained to low in a variety of manufacturing processes before adding electrolytes, working efficiencies in a reaction process, a transfer process, a heating process, a compounding process and the like before adding electrolytes may be greatly improved by leaving a process for adding electrolytes later.
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is able to produce a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exists, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.

Evaluations
In order to evaluate properties as a thickening agent of water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1-3, viscosity and transmittance measurements were carried out regarding 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids of respective copolymers and electrolyte-added solutions prepared by adding sodium chloride to the liquids and mixing. Further, among these electrolyte-added solutions, those showing the highest viscosity were subjected to a moisture sensory test.
(1) Preparation of Evaluation Samples
Three grams of each of the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Example 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was gradually added and dissolved to 280 g of pure water (deionized water) with stirring. To the solution was added 17 g of 6 weight %-sodium hydroxide to form 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids with a pH of 6.5-7.5. In addition, 0.25-5 weight %-electrolyte-added solutions were prepared by adding 0.75 g, 1.5 g, 2.25 g, 3 g, 6 g, 9 g, 12 g or 15 g of sodium chloride to 300 g of 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids obtained according to the manner as the same as above in order to evaluate properties of these neutralized viscous liquids in the presence of electrolytes.
In the following evaluations, these 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids and the various weight %-electrolyte-added solutions were used as evaluation samples after standing for one hour.
(2) Viscosity Measurement
With respect to each of the evaluation samples, viscosity was measured at 25° C. after one minute rotating at a rotational speed of 20 rpm by using a BH type rotational viscometer with a spindle rotor No. 6. Measurement results are shown in Tables 3-7.
(3) Transmittance Measurement
With respect to each of the evaluation samples, a transmittance was measured at a wavelength of 425 nm in a cell with a light path length of 1 cm after degassed by centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes. Usually, a liquid is considered to be transparent by visual observation when a transmittance is 90% or higher. Measurement results are shown in Tables 3-7.
(4) Sensory Evaluation on Texture
Respective evaluation samples which exhibited the highest viscosity in viscosity measurements with respect to each of the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were applied on skins of panelists consisting of 5 men and 5 women. Texture was evaluated based on feeling when the sample was spread with fingers.
Evaluation criteria are as follows:
A: moisture B: relatively moisture C: no impression D: sticky
Additionally, when 70% or more of the panelists score “A: moisture” or “B: relatively moisture” to a sample, the sample is considered to show moisture texture. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 8-9.

From Tables 3-9, it is understood that the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 produced a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exists, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
Thus, it is demonstrated that the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 can be used as a thickening agent having excellent properties as described above.

7.Description:
(en)TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups. More specifically, the present invention relates to a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups, which may be preferably used as a thickening agent for cosmetics and the like.
BACKGROUND
A variety of copolymers are known as copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate, which are used in thickening agents for cosmetics and the like; moisturizers for cataplasms and the like; emulsifiers; suspension stabilizers for suspensions; and the like. For example, a copolymer obtained by reacting a specific amount of olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 10-30) (See Patent Document 1), a copolymer obtained by reacting a specific amount of olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 10-30) and a cross linking agent (See Patent Document 2), a copolymer obtained by reacting olefin-based unsaturated carboxylic acid monomers and alkyl (meth)acrylate (a carbon number of the alkyl group is 8-30) (See Patent Document 3) and the like are known.
These copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate are used in the above applications usually after dissolving into water and the like and neutralize with alkali to form a neutralized viscous liquid at a concentration of about 0.1 to 1 weight %.
This neutralized viscous liquid had a problem that their viscosity or transmittance reduces and a part of the copolymer precipitates when electrolytes used as various raw materials for products or additives coexist even at relatively low concentrations.
In particular, recently, in a field of cosmetics and the like, cosmetics containing high amounts of minerals and the like in order to differentiate from other products as well as various properties, for example, good appearances such as transparency, non-sticky texture and the like are in the spotlight. Therefore, it is desired to invent a thickening agent which can form a neutralized viscous liquid having a high viscosity and a high transmittance even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
In addition, from a viewpoint of reducing manufacturing costs, it is desired to invent a thickening agent having properties leading to improvement in manufacturing efficiencies in a variety of manufacturing processes.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is able to produce a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exist, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes, and a thickening agent containing the same.
The present invention relates to, as will be described, water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups.
(1) A water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is obtained by polymerizing 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, 0.5-5 parts by weight of alkyl (meth)acrylate comprising an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, and 0-0.1 parts by weight of a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups, wherein a 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquid shows a viscosity of 1500 mPa·s or lower and a transmittance of 90% or higher, and when 0.25-5 parts by weight of sodium chloride is added to 100 parts by weight of the neutralized viscous liquid, the liquid shows a highest viscosity of 15000-40000 mPa·s and a transmittance of 90% or higher.
(2) The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to (1), wherein the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups is at least one selected from a group consisting of pentaerythritol allyl ether, diethylene glycol diallyl ether, polyethylene glycol diallyl ether and polyallyl saccharose.
(3) A thickening agent comprising the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to (1) or (2).
The present invention will be explained in detail as below.
Additionally, in the present invention, acrylic acid and methacrylic acid are inclusively described as (meth)acrylic acid.
Further, in the present invention, neutralization for the neutralized viscous liquid is to make the pH of the liquid 6.5-7.5.
In the present invention, the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups is obtained by polymerizing (meth) acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 and optionally a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups.
The alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 used in the present invention is an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and higher alcohol which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, for example, an ester of (meth) acrylic acid and stearyl alcohol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and eicosanol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and behenyl alcohol, an ester of (meth)acrylic acid and tetracosanol and the like. Among them, stearyl methacrylate, eicosanoyl methacrylate, behenyl methacrylate and tetracosanyl methacrylate are preferably used because viscosity properties and textures are excellent regarding neutralized viscous liquids of the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained therefrom and the liquids in the presence of electrolytes. Additionally, as an alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, commercial products, for example, a product BLEMMER VMA70 manufactured by NOF Corporation and the like may be used.
When (meth)acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 are combined in the present invention, either or both of (meth) acrylic acid and alkyl (meth)acrylate may be used alone or in a combination of two or more, respectively.
The amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 used in the present invention is 0.5-5 parts by weight, more preferably 1-3 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid. When the amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 is less than 0.5 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth)acrylic acid, it is possible that a transmittance in the presence of electrolyte of a neutralized viscous liquid of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups is insufficient, while when the amount is more than parts by weight, it is possible that water-solubility of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates.
The compounds having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups optionally used in the present invention are not especially limited but compounds in which the ethylenic unsaturated groups are allyl groups are preferable. Among them, pentaerythritol allyl ether such as pentaerythritol diallyl ether, pentaerythritol triallyl ether and pentaerythritol tetraallyl ether and the like, diethylene glycol diallyl ether, polyethylene glycol diallyl ether and polyallyl saccharose are more preferable. These compounds having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups may be used alone or in combination of two or more of them.
The amount of the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups used in the present invention is 0.001-0.1 parts by weight, more preferably 0.001-0.044 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid. When the amount of the compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups is more than 0.1 parts by weight, it is possible that a transmittance in the presence of electrolyte of a neutralized viscous liquid of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates or the liquid becomes clouded.
In the present invention, a method for obtaining the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups by polymerizing (meth)acrylic acid and 0.5-5 parts by weight of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid and, optionally 0-0.1 parts by weight of a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid is not especially limited but ordinary methods such as a method for polymerizing these materials by stirring them in a solvent under an inactive gas atmosphere in the presence of a polymerization initiator and the like may be used.
Inactive gases for producing an inactive gas atmosphere include, for example, a nitrogen gas, an argon gas and the like.
The aforementioned solvent is not especially limited insofar as they dissolve (meth)acrylic acid, alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24 and a compound having two or more of ethylenic unsaturated groups but not the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups and do not inhibit a polymerization reaction.
Examples of such a solvent include, for example, normal pentane, normal hexane, normal heptane, cyclopentane, cyclohexane and the like. Among them, normal hexane and normal heptane are preferably used.
The amount of the solvent to be used is preferably 300-5000 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of (meth) acrylic acid from viewpoints of improving stirring workability and economy.
The aforementioned polymerization initiator is preferably a radical polymerization initiator for example, α,α′-azoisobutyronitrile, 2,2′-azobis-2,4-dimethylvarelonitrile, 2,2′-azobismethylisobutylate and the like. Among them, 2,2′-azobismethylisobutylate is preferably used from a viewpoint that a high molecular weight of water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups can be obtained.
The amount of the polymerization initiator to be used is desirably 0.00003-0.002 moles with respect to 1 mole of (meth) acrylic acid. When the amount of the polymerization initiator is less than 0.00003 moles, it is possible that polymerization reaction rate is slow to be not economic. When the amount of the polymerization initiator is more than 0.002 moles, it is possible that polymerization progresses rapidly to make reaction control difficult.
The reaction temperature is preferably 50-90° C., more preferably 55-75° C. When the reaction temperature is lower than 50° C., it is possible that the viscosity of the reaction solution increases to make uniformly-stirring difficult. When the reaction temperature is above 90° C., it is possible that polymerization progresses rapidly to make reaction control difficult.
The reaction time, which depends on the reaction temperature, is usually 0.5-5 hours.
The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups of the present invention may be obtained by heating the reaction solution for example at 80-130° C. after completion of the reaction to evaporate the solvent. When the heating temperature is lower than 80° C., it is possible that it takes long time to evaporate the solvent. When the heating temperature is above 130° C., it is possible that water-solubility of the obtained water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups deteriorates.
The water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups thus obtained is characterized in that a 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquid obtained from the copolymer shows a viscosity of 1500 mPa·s or lower and a transmittance of 90% or higher, and when 0.25-5 parts by weight of sodium chloride is added to 100 parts by weight of the neutralized viscous liquid, the liquid shows a highest viscosity of 15000-40000 mPa·s and a transmittance of 90% or higher. Usually, a liquid is considered to be transparent when a transmittance is 90% or higher.
In viscosity measurements, 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids having with a pH of 6.5-7.5, which is formed by dissolving a predetermined amount of the water-soluble copolymers to an appropriate amount of pure water with stirring and adding a predetermined concentration of sodium hydroxide or, if required, electrolyte-added solutions prepared by adding a predetermined amount of sodium chloride and stirring are used as evaluation samples after standing for one hour.
Viscosity is measured at 25° C. after one minute rotating at a rotational speed of 20 rpm by using a BH type rotational viscometer with a spindle rotor No. 6.
In the present invention, a transmittance is measured at a wavelength of 425 nm in a cell with a light path length of 1 cm after degassed a sample by centrifuging.
For example, neutralized viscous liquids which has a pH of 6.5-7.5 and contains the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention at about 1 weight % may be used as a thickening agent for cosmetics and the like, wherein the neutralized viscous liquids are formed by dissolving the copolymer to pure water such as deionized water and neutralizing with alkali.
Alkalis used to neutralize the copolymer solution are not particularly limited but include alkali metal hydroxides such as sodium hydroxide, amines such as triethanolamine, diisopropanolamine, and the like. Among them, sodium hydroxide is preferably used.
The neutralized viscous liquids obtained from the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention have a very low viscosity when no electrolyte exists and have a greatly increased viscosity when electrolytes are added. Further, the neutralized viscous liquids have a high viscosity and a high transmittance and have moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
It is not clearly understood why the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention shows the above property. However, it is presumed that by using a specific amount of alkyl (meth)acrylate which comprises an alkyl group having a carbon number of 18-24, the alkyl groups having a carbon number of 18-24 introduced into the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups associate with each other in an aqueous solution via hydrophobic interaction to increase viscosity and thereby effects of electrolytes change.
Accordingly, use of the water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups according to the present invention allows manufacturing cosmetics excellent in transparency and having moist texture without stickiness regardless of a relatively high concentration of various electrolytes as additives.
Such cosmetics include, for example, lotion, emulsion, serum, cream, cream pack, massage cream, cleansing cream, cleansing gel, cleansing foam, sunscreen, styling gel, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick, foundation and the like.
In addition, due to a low viscosity in the absence of electrolytes, those thickening agents are very useful from a viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency for cosmetics and the like. That is, since a viscosity of a solution may be maintained to low in a variety of manufacturing processes before adding electrolytes, working efficiencies in a reaction process, a transfer process, a heating process, a compounding process and the like before adding electrolytes may be greatly improved by leaving a process for adding electrolytes later.
EFFECT OF THE INVENTION
The present invention provides a water-soluble copolymer having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups which is able to produce a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exists, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.

Evaluations
In order to evaluate properties as a thickening agent of water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Example 1-3, viscosity and transmittance measurements were carried out regarding 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids of respective copolymers and electrolyte-added solutions prepared by adding sodium chloride to the liquids and mixing. Further, among these electrolyte-added solutions, those showing the highest viscosity were subjected to a moisture sensory test.
(1) Preparation of Evaluation Samples
Three grams of each of the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Example 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was gradually added and dissolved to 280 g of pure water (deionized water) with stirring. To the solution was added 17 g of 6 weight %-sodium hydroxide to form 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids with a pH of 6.5-7.5. In addition, 0.25-5 weight %-electrolyte-added solutions were prepared by adding 0.75 g, 1.5 g, 2.25 g, 3 g, 6 g, 9 g, 12 g or 15 g of sodium chloride to 300 g of 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids obtained according to the manner as the same as above in order to evaluate properties of these neutralized viscous liquids in the presence of electrolytes.
In the following evaluations, these 1 weight %-neutralized viscous liquids and the various weight %-electrolyte-added solutions were used as evaluation samples after standing for one hour.
(2) Viscosity Measurement
With respect to each of the evaluation samples, viscosity was measured at 25° C. after one minute rotating at a rotational speed of 20 rpm by using a BH type rotational viscometer with a spindle rotor No. 6. Measurement results are shown in Tables 3-7.
(3) Transmittance Measurement
With respect to each of the evaluation samples, a transmittance was measured at a wavelength of 425 nm in a cell with a light path length of 1 cm after degassed by centrifuging at 2000 rpm for 30 minutes. Usually, a liquid is considered to be transparent by visual observation when a transmittance is 90% or higher. Measurement results are shown in Tables 3-7.
(4) Sensory Evaluation on Texture
Respective evaluation samples which exhibited the highest viscosity in viscosity measurements with respect to each of the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were applied on skins of panelists consisting of 5 men and 5 women. Texture was evaluated based on feeling when the sample was spread with fingers.
Evaluation criteria are as follows:
A: moisture B: relatively moisture C: no impression D: sticky
Additionally, when 70% or more of the panelists score “A: moisture” or “B: relatively moisture” to a sample, the sample is considered to show moisture texture. The evaluation results are shown in Tables 8-9.

From Tables 3-9, it is understood that the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 produced a neutralized viscous liquid in which although its viscosity is very low when no electrolyte exists, the viscosity greatly increases when electrolytes are added, which has a high viscosity and a high transmittance and which has moist textures without stickiness even in the presence of a relatively high concentration of electrolytes.
Thus, it is demonstrated that the water-soluble copolymers having alkyl-modified carboxyl groups obtained in Examples 1-6 can be used as a thickening agent having excellent properties as described above.
