Appl. No.:

11/832217

Inventors:

Thi N. Do - West Orange NJ, US

Assignee:

Avon Products, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

A61Q 1/10

US Classification:

424 707

Abstract:

Compositions and methods for the in situ formation of cross-linked polymeric filaments are disclosed. The disclosed filaments are preferably elastomeric, water-resistant, oil-resistant, long-wearing. The filament forming compositions generally comprise one or more cross-linkable polymers having at least one functional group capable of forming cross-links and a cross-linking agent, the presence of which promotes cross-linking of the polymers. The compositions may be used for lengthening and/or volumizing keratin fibers, for example, eyelashes.

International Classification:

A61K 8/72

US Classification:

424070700, 424070110, 424070600

Abstract:

There is a method for lengthening keratin fibers. The method has the steps of a) applying to the keratin fibers a composition having a solvent and one or more polymers soluble or solubilizable in the solvent b) allowing the solvent to evaporate. The composition is applied in an amount sufficient to lengthen the keratin fibers. There are also other methods for lengthening keratin fibers. There is also a mascara composition.

US Classification:

424 59, 424 65, 514772

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a clear or translucent composition which takes the form of a solid, a semi-solid or a viscous gel. The inventive composition contains a mixture of at least two amino acid-based gelatinizing agents, a non-ionic unsaturated fatty alcohol in an amount which reduces the dissolution temperature of the gelatinizing agents to allow processing at or below 100 C., an alkyl dimethicone, and an oil and/or a polymer component. Additional ingredients depending on the application may also be included in the clear or translucent composition. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing the clear or translucent composition of the disclosure and uses thereof.

International Classification:

G03C 173

US Classification:

4302781

Abstract:

Presensitized lithographic plates are prepared which permit direct formation of printable images on plates by digital computerization without the intervening formation of a photographic image with a quality that allows the plates to be used for high volume printing applications. The lithographic printing plate has a structure which contains a substrate; a positive or negative working photosensitive layer; and a thermally sensitive masking layer which is opaque to the actinic radiation but which is soluble in an aqueous medium. The masking layer contains a heat softenable disperse phase which is insoluble in the aqueous medium; a polymeric continuous phase which is soluble or swellable in the aqueous medium; and a colorant which strongly absorbs radiant energy and converts the radiant energy to heat. In use the masking layer is digitally exposed to a computer controlled laser image so that exposed image areas of the masking are insolublized in the aqueous medium; soluble areas of the mask layer are then removed to form an opaque image mask on the photosensitive layer which is then exposed to actinic radiation passing through the mask to solubilize or insolubilize exposed areas of the photosensitive layer; the photosensitive layer is then developed with the developer liquid to remove the soluble areas and any overlying mask areas to form the lithographic printing plate. Both wet and waterless lithographic printing plates may be digitally prepared in this manner.

International Classification:

G03C 176

US Classification:

4302721

Abstract:

A waterless or driographic printing plate which can be thermally imaged by an infrared laser is composed of a substrate; a thermal imaging layer containing a photothermal conversion material, such as an infrared absorbing material, and a thermoplastic polyurethane with pendent allyl groups; and a crosslinked silicone polymer top layer. It was discovered that when the imaging layer contains an allyl functional polyurethane mixed with an infrared absorbing dye or pigment, the polymeric layer will have enhanced solubility in certain solvents when exposed to infrared radiation. In addition, the polymeric layer continues to exhibit excellent adhesion to the silicone in unexposed areas so that the infrared absorbing layer can endure development with a suitable organic solvent, or a solvent mixture. Mild brushing or rubbing with the developing solvent readily removes laser-struck portions of the infrared imaging layer while unexposed areas remain firmly intact.
