FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to non-volatile oligomeric or polymeric siloxanes which may be linear, branched or cross-linked, suitable for use in a variety of applications including personal care formulations, house-hold products, automotive, textiles and molding materials wherein the non-volatile polymeric siloxane has been chemically modified to release a fragrant molecule upon hydrolysis. The present invention further relates to such molecules where the rate of fragrant molecule release is sufficiently slow so that products formulated with the modified polymeric non-volatile siloxane exhibit a desirable fragrance for long periods of time.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The slow sustained release of a fragrant molecule is a highly desirable trait in many personal care products. A number of means have been proposed and implemented to achieve this goal. Among these means are dissolving or suspending fragrant compounds in personal care emulsions (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,525,588; 5,525,555; 5,490,982; and 5,372,806), encapsulation of a fragrant compound (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,500,223; 5,324,444; 5,185,155; 5,176,903; and 5,130,171), dissolving a fragrant compound into a hydrophobic phase such as a silicone (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,449,512; 5,160,494 and 5,234,689), incorporation of a fragrant compound into cross-linked polymers (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,387,622 and 5,387,411), incorporation of fragrant compounds into permeable laminates (U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,071,704 and 5,008,115), incorporation of fragrant compounds into matrices that soften at body temperature (U.S. Pat. No. 4,908,208), incorporation of fragrant compounds into rate controlling membranes (U.S. Pat. No. 4,445,641) and derivatization of silanes with fragrant alcohols to form alkoxy silanes (U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,524,018 and 4,500,725). All of these approaches suffer from one or more of the following problems: 1) the material is not stable in a personal care formulation, 2) the material is not easy or convenient to prepare, or 3) the material does not release the fragrant compound in a slow and sustained fashion.
