Abstract:
1. An ionically-modified saccharide siloxane copolymer, comprising the reaction product of a saccharide-siloxane copolymer and an ionic monomer or oligomer, said saccharide-siloxane copolymer comprising a saccharide component and an organosiloxane component which are linked by a linking group having the formula: wherein each R Q comprises an epoxy, cycloepoxy, primary or secondary amino, ethylenediamine, carboxy, halogen, vinyl, allyl, anhydride, or mercapto functionality, m and n are integers from 0 to 10,000 and may be the same or different, each a is independently 0, 1, 2, or 3, y is an integer such that the copolymer has a molecular weight less than 1 million, R G Z is the linking group and is independently selected from the group consisting of: —R —R —R —R —R —R —R —R —R R where at least one of r, s and t must be 1, and R R X is a carboxylic acid, phosphate, sulfate, sulfonate or quaternary ammonium radical, and at least one of R wherein the saccharide-siloxane copolymer is a reaction product of a functionalized organosiloxane polymer and at least one hydroxy-functional saccharide such that the organosiloxane component is covalently linked via the linking group, Z, to the saccharide component.
