## Background
CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 61/522,086, filed Aug. 10, 2011.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present application relates to encapsulates, compositions, products comprising such encapsulates, and processes for making and using such encapsulates.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Benefit agents such as perfumes are expensive and may be less effective when employed at high levels in compositions such as personal care compositions, cleaning compositions and fabric care compositions. As a result, there is a desire to maximize the effectiveness of benefit agents. One manner of achieving that objective is to improve the delivery efficiency of the benefit agents. Unfortunately, it is difficult to improve the delivery efficiencies of benefit agents as they may be lost due to their physical or chemical characteristics, they may be incompatible with other compositional components or the situs that is treated, or they may be lost during post application processes such as rinsing or drying.
One method of improving the delivery efficiency of benefit agents is to encapsulate them so that the benefit agent is released via pressure that fractures the shell of the encapsulate. However, current encapsulated benefit agents can leak over time and current encapsulated benefit agents, in general, may not fracture and release the benefit agent when desired—particularly in consumer product applications where limited mechanical forces are available, inter alia drapery or upholstery refreshing, shampoos, conditioners and hair sprays or styling gels, and hard surface treatment applications, floor cleaners, dust removing products to name a few. In short, Applicants recognized that current encapsulates do not function as desired as such encapsulates only respond to ineffective and/or undesired external stimuli such as pressure. Applicants further recognized that the correct external stimuli for certain applications, are temperature, infrared radiation, visible light, and/or ultraviolet radiation. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe that encapsulates having a shell that comprises one or more moieties that are sensitive to infrared radiation, visible light, and/or ultraviolet radiation, for example, azo-benzene moieties have a state of order and conformation that permits the encapsulate to respond to triggers such as the aforementioned species of electromagnetic radiation. Such response typically results in the release of all or a portion of the encapsulate's core material. Such encapsulate's response to the aforementioned species of electromagnetic radiation can be tailored by the judicious selection of the type and amount of the one or more shell moieties that are sensitive to infrared radiation, visible light, and/or ultraviolet radiation and the type and amount of the remaining moieties that make up the encapsulate's shell. In short, the encapsulates that are disclosed herein can be tailored such that, over the desired time frame, they have the desired leakage profile and release profile. In view of the current art encapsulates, such release characteristics are unexpected as the skilled artisan would expect that encapsulates that are triggered by the aforementioned species of electromagnetic radiation would, once exposed to a trigger, release all of their benefit agent.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present application relates to encapsulates, compositions, products comprising such encapsulates, and processes for making and using such encapsulates. Such encapsulates comprise a core comprising a perfume and a shell that encapsulates said core, such encapsulates may optionally comprise a parametric balancing agent, such shell comprising one or more azobenzene moieties.

Encapsulates and Compositions Comprising Encapsulates
The time period for determining the leakage profile of an encapsulate may include the time the encapsulate is in product and the time such product is in use. The satisfactory delivery of the content(s) of an encapsulate requires optimum capsule mechanical properties as if the capsule is too strong, it never releases its content and if a capsule is too weak, it breaks too soon thus releasing its content prematurely. In addition, capsule mechanical properties can be compromised by various factors such as prolonged exposure at high temperature and/or low pH and thus the leakage profile of a capsule with optimal mechanical properties can be compromised.
The time period for release of the content from an encapsulate may include a rapid or a burst release, a sustained release, a delayed release, and combinations thereof. Applicants have found that the satisfactory delivery of the content from an encapsulate may accomplished by incorporating photoresponsive elements into the polymer shell of the encapsulate. Particularly preferred photoresponsive elements include substituted azobenzene moieties. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is thought that the absorption of light by the azobenzene moieties causes a rotation around the nitrogen-nitrogen double bond, resulting in a change in morphology of the polymer shell and a corresponding change in the release of the encapsulate. Depending on the substitution of the azobenzene, the wavelength of light required to trigger the release can be manipulated from near UV to visible. Furthermore, the azobenzene moieties may be incorporated into a wide range of polymers comprising the shell of an encapsulate as described in more detail below. Applicants have found that the specific properties of the polymers comprising the shell can have a profound influence on the stability of the encapsulate, including leakage, premature rupture, agglomeration, deposition and retention in a variety of cleaning compositions.
Applicants recognized that the source of the aforementioned leakage problem is not only due to the amount of water miscible and water immiscible monomers in the shell/wall of the encapsulate, but is also due to the low packing density of the molecules in the shell/wall of the encapsulate. The crosslink density in the shell/wall of the encapsulate also contributes to mechanical stability and leakage. Applicants recognized that the right balance of properties (stability in product and release during application) can be achieved by combining one or more water miscible monomers and one or more water immiscible monomers. Such encapsulates and compositions comprising such encapsulates are disclosed below.

In still other applications, a substituted azobenzene containing one or more aldehyde groups or one or more alcohol groups or one or more amine groups can be incorporated into melamine formaldehyde, polyurethane, polyester, polyurea and/or polycarbonate shells. In still other applications, a substituted azobenzene containing one or more acrylate groups can be incorporated into polyacrylate shells.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, said cross-linked polyamide polymer comprising azobenzene moieties may comprise a crosslinking agent selected from the group consisting of a multifunctional di- or triamine, a multifunctional di- or triacyl chloride, and mixtures thereof. In one aspect, said multifunctional di- or triamines may be selected from melamine. In one aspect, said multifunctional acyl chlorides may be selected from the group consisting of 1,2,3,4-cyclopentane tetracarboxylic acid chloride, 1,3,5-pentanetricarbonyl chloride and mixtures thereof. In still another aspect, other types of multifunctional reactive crosslinkers may be used. A nonlimiting example of this type of crosslinker includes cyanuric chloride.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, said cross-linked polymer comprising azobenzene moieties may comprise two or more water miscible monomers.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, said cross-linked polymer comprising azobenzene moieties may comprise two or more water immiscible organic monomers.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, the azobenzene moieties may be incorporated into the main chain of polymers comprising the shell of the encapsulate via condensation reaction between an azobenzene diacyl chloride and a diamine. In another aspect of said encapsulate, the azobenzene moieties may be incorporated into polymer chains comprising the shell of the encapsulate via free radical polymerization.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, a slight excess of the diamine relative to the di- or triacyl chloride or to the sum of the di- or tri-acyl chloride and multifunctional di- or tri-acyl chloride provides a beneficial effect on the longevity of fragrance release. In another aspect of said encapsulate, incorporating a small amount of amine-functional monomer into the shell of encapsulates comprising polymers prepared by free radical polymerization provides a beneficial effect on the longevity of fragrance release. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the positive charge imparted by the amine functional group in the shell of said encapsulate can further beneficially improve deposition and retention on surfaces of interest, which are often slightly negative in charge.
In one aspect, said azobenzene moieties are found in the cross-linking units of free radically polymerizable monomers.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, said free radically polymerizable monomer structures may be selected from the group consisting of divinyl, distyryl, diacryloxy, diacrylamido, dimethacryloxy, dimethacrylamido vinyl, styryl, acryloxy, acrylamido, methacryloxy, methacrylamido and mixtures thereof. In one aspect, said distyryl may be selected from the group consisting of 4,4′-bis-vinyl-azobenzene. In another aspect, said diacryloxy may be selected from the group consisting of 4,4′-bis-methacryloxy-azobenzene, 2,2′-bis-styryl-azobenzene, 3,3′-bis-styryl-azobenzene, 2,4′-bis-styryl-azobenzene, 4,4′-bis-methacryloxy-azobenzene, 3,3′-bis-methacryloxy-azobenzene, 2,2′-bis-methacryloxy-azobenzene, 2,4′-bis-methacryloxy-azobenzene, 4,4′-bis-acryloxy-azobenzene, 3,3′-bis-acryloxy-azobenzene, 2,2′-bis-acryloxy-azobenzene, 2,4′-bis-acryloxy-azobenzene, 4,4′-bis-acrylamido-azobenzene, 3,3′-bis-acrylamido-azobenzene, 2,2′-bis-acrylamido-azobenzene, 2,4′-bis-acrylamido-azobenzene, 4,4′-bis-methacrylamido-azobenzene, 3,3′-bis-methacrylamido-azobenzene, 2,2′-bis-methacrylamido-azobenzene, 2,4′-bis-methacrylamido-azobenzene and mixtures thereof.
In one aspect, said azobenzene moieties are found in the cross-linking units of melamine-formaldehyde co-reactive monomers.
In one aspect of said encapsulate, the melamine-formaldehyde co-reactive monomer structures may be selected from the group consisting of diol, dialdehyde and diamine, alcohol, amine and aldehyde and mixtures thereof. In one aspect, said diamino may be selected from the group consisting of 4,4′-bis-amino-azobenzene.

Suitable Parametric Balancing Agents

In one aspect, the encapsulates disclosed herein may comprise a parametric balancing agent.
In one aspect, at least a portion of said parametric balancing agent is contained in said encapsulate's shell. In another aspect, said encapsulate's core may comprise at least a portion of said parametric balancing agent.
In one aspect, said parametric balancing agent may be a density balancing agent. Without being bound by theory, density balancing agents are materials that are able to balance the density of an encapsulate so that such encapsulate can be stably suspended in a fluid consumer good. In one aspect of said encapsulate, said encapsulate may have a settling velocity of less than about 1.5 cm/year, less than about 1.0 cm/year. In another aspect of said encapsulate, said perfume composition may comprise one or more fluids and may have a density such that the density ratio of said encapsulate and at least one of said one or more fluids is from about 0.9:1 to about 1.1:1. Suitable density balancing agents include: brominated vegetable oil, Tint Ayd PC 9003 and those listed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 29/035,365 A1.
For example, the density balancing agents may be metal oxides selected from but not limited to titanium dioxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), Fe2O3, CO2O3, CoO, NiO, AgO, CuO, zicornium dioxide (ZrO2), silica, and other metal oxides. They should have specific density of greater than unity. Oxides that can function both as densification agent and provide additional functional properties are particularly useful.
In one aspect, the density of the density balancing agent is greater than 1. By adding density balancing agents to the core, the density of the encapsulate can be independently adjusted to a desired level. Hydrophobically modified metal oxides are useful. Examples of metal oxides include, but are not limited to, Uvinul® TiO2, Z-COTE® HP1, T-liteTM SF. T-liteTM SF-S, T-liteTM MAX, and Z-COTE® MAX manufactured by BASF; Aerosil® R812, Aerosil® R972/R94 from Evonik; and Ti-Pure® R-700, and Ti-SelectTM TS-6200 from Dupont.
The density balancing agents may also be selected from organic compounds including brominated vegetable oil (BVO) and sucrose acetate isobutyrate. Such density balancing agents are available from Eastman chemical (Kingsport, Tenn. 37662) under the trade name: Sustane SAIB, Sustane SAIB MCT, Sustane SAIB ET-10, Eastman SAIB-100, Eastman SAIB-90EA, and Eastman SAIB-90. For the purpose of densification, any substances that possesses a density of greater than 1 and does not significantly react with the fragrance may be used. Furthermore, a material that is odorless or does not interfere with the primary odor of the fragrance is particularly useful. The selection can be made based on the chemical and physical compatibility of the densification agent and that of the fragrance core.
The density balancing agents may also be selected from inert metallic particles or metallic compounds or metallic alloys since these materials normally posses density of greater than 1.0 and can be highly effective in providing the desired density. Examples are silver (Ag), zinc (Zn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), and copper (Cu). Useful materials are those compatible with the fragrance core.
In the case of a solid density balancing agent, the material can be of any physical dimension and morphology compatible with the desired encapsulate characteristics (e.g., size). The core materials can be selected from materials with dimensions ranging from a few nanometers to microns. As far as the physical dimension is concerned, the upper and lower limit of the core densification agent will be ultimately determined by the physical dimension of the encapsulates. For example, if one is to prepare a 30 micron densified capsule, the maximum physical dimension of the densification agent is limited to 30 micron or less. It is possible that, for optimal performance, there might exist a relationship between the physical dimension of the capsule and that of the core densification agent. For example, a larger capsule may need a densification agent with a larger physical size for better breakage and release. This may be explainable if the capsules breakage is by protrusion force. Likewise, a smaller capsule may benefit from material with a smaller grain size.
The core materials may further be hollow, porous, meso-porous, nano-porous or completely filled. The core materials can also be of any regular or irregular shape including sphere, square, needles, fibers, and ellipsoids. The physical dimension of the core materials can range from nanoscaled to micro-sized materials. The densification agents in the core can have any dimension, as long as they can be encapsulated in the polyamide encapsulating shell and as long as the fragrance core remains liquid after the fragrance core is mixed with the densification agent.
Additional suitable density balancing agents include those listed in Table 3 below.

c) Vapor pressure balancing agents: the vapor pressure provides a gauge of the rate of evaporation and the odor strength of the perfume composition. While not being bound by theory, when the vapor pressure of the encapsulate's core is balanced, the encapsulate provides a longer lasting and more consistent core material release.

We can use materials having a low vapor pressure to improve the longevity of the release (see table below), or we can even use materials with a high vapor pressure for a fast release (see Table 5).

One type of metal-containing bleach catalyst is a catalyst system comprising a transition metal cation of defined bleach catalytic activity, such as copper, iron, titanium, ruthenium, tungsten, molybdenum, or manganese cations, an auxiliary metal cation having little or no bleach catalytic activity, such as zinc or aluminum cations, and a sequestrate having defined stability constants for the catalytic and auxiliary metal cations, particularly ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetra (methyl-enephosphonic acid) and water-soluble salts thereof. Such catalysts are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,430,243.
If desired, the compositions herein can be catalyzed by means of a manganese compound. Such compounds and levels of use are well known in the art and include, for example, the manganese-based catalysts disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,576,282.
Cobalt bleach catalysts useful herein are known, and are described, for example, in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,597,936 and 5,595,967. Such cobalt catalysts are readily prepared by known procedures, such as taught for example in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,597,936, and 5,595,967.
Compositions herein may also suitably include a transition metal complex of a macropolycyclic rigid ligand—abbreviated as “MRL”. As a practical matter, and not by way of limitation, the compositions and cleaning processes herein can be adjusted to provide on the order of at least one part per hundred million of the benefit agent MRL species in the aqueous washing medium, and may provide from about 0.005 ppm to about 25 ppm, from about 0.05 ppm to about 10 ppm, or even from about 0.1 ppm to about 5 ppm, of the MRL in the wash liquor.

Suitable transition metal MRLs are readily prepared by known procedures, such as taught for example in WO 00/32601, and U.S. Pat. No. 6,225,464.
Suitable thickeners/structurants and useful levels of same are described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2005/0130864 A1 and U.S. Pat. Nos. 7,169,741 B2 and 7,297,674 B2. In one aspect, the thickener may be a rheology modifier. The rheology modifier may be selected from the group consisting of non-polymeric crystalline, hydroxy-functional materials, polymeric rheology modifiers which impart shear thinning characteristics to the aqueous liquid matrix of the composition. In one aspect, such rheology modifiers impart to the aqueous liquid composition a high shear viscosity, at 20 sec−1 shear rate and at 21° C., of from 1 to 7,000 cps and a viscosity at low shear (0.5 sec−1 shear rate at 21° C.) of greater than 1000 cps, or even 1,000 cps to 200,000 cps. In one aspect, for cleaning and treatment compositions, such rheology modifiers impart to the aqueous liquid composition a high shear viscosity, at 20 sec−1 and at 21° C., of from 50 to 3,000 cps and a viscosity at low shear (0.5 sec−1 shear rate at 21° C.) of greater than 1,000 cps, or even 1,000 cps to 200,000 cps. Viscosity according to the present invention is measured using an AR 2000 rheometer from TA instruments using a plate steel spindle having a plate diameter of 40 mm and a gap size of 500 μm. The high shear viscosity at 20 sec1 and low shear viscosity at 0.5 sec−1 can be obtained from a logarithmic shear rate sweep from 0.1 sec−1 to 25 sec−1 in 3 minutes time at 21° C. Crystalline hydroxyl functional materials are rheology modifiers which form thread-like structuring systems throughout the matrix of the composition upon in situ crystallization in the matrix. Polymeric rheology modifiers are selected from the group consisting of polyacrylates, polymeric gums, other non-gum polysaccharides, and combinations of these polymeric materials.
Generally, the rheology modifier will comprise from about 0.01% to about 1% by weight, from about 0.05% to about 0.75% by weight, or even from about 0.1% to about 0.5% by weight, of the compositions herein.
Structuring agents which are especially useful in the compositions of the present invention comprises non-polymeric (except for conventional alkoxylation), crystalline hydroxy-functional materials which can form thread-like structuring systems throughout the liquid matrix when they are crystallized within the matrix in situ. Such materials can be generally characterized as crystalline, hydroxyl-containing fatty acids, fatty esters or fatty waxes. In one aspect, rheology modifiers include crystalline, hydroxyl-containing rheology modifiers include castor oil and its derivatives. In one aspect, rheology modifiers may include hydrogenated castor oil derivatives such as hydrogenated castor oil and hydrogenated castor wax. Commercially available, castor oil-based, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing rheology modifiers include THIXCINTM from Rheox, Inc. (now Elementis).
Other types of rheology modifiers, besides the non-polymeric, crystalline, hydroxyl-containing rheology modifiers described heretofore, may be utilized in the liquid detergent compositions herein. Polymeric materials which provide shear-thinning characteristics to the aqueous liquid matrix may also be employed.
Suitable polymeric rheology modifiers include those of the polyacrylate, polysaccharide or polysaccharide derivative type. Polysaccharide derivatives typically used as rheology modifiers comprise polymeric gum materials. Such gums include pectine, alginate, arabinogalactan (gum Arabic), carrageenan, gellan gum, xanthan gum and guar gum.
If polymeric rheology modifiers are employed herein, a preferred material of this type is gellan gum. Gellan gum is a heteropolysaccharide prepared by fermentation of Pseudomonaselodea ATCC 31461. Gellan gum is commercially marketed by CP Kelco U.S., Inc. under the KELCOGEL tradename.
A further alternative and suitable rheology modifier include a combination of a solvent and a polycarboxylate polymer. More specifically the solvent may be an alkylene glycol. In one aspect, the solvent may compriser dipropylene glycol. In one aspect, the polycarboxylate polymer may comprise a polyacrylate, polymethacrylate or mixtures thereof. In one aspect, solvent may be present, based on total composition weight, at a level of from 0.5% to 15%, or from 2% to 9% of the composition. In one aspect, polycarboxylate polymer may be present, based on total composition weight, at a level of from 0.1% to 10%, or from 2% to 5%. In one aspect, the solvent component may comprise mixture of dipropylene glycol and 1,2-propanediol. In one aspect, the ratio of dipropylene glycol to 1,2-propanediol may be 3:1 to 1:3, or even 1:1. In one aspect, the polyacrylate may comprise a copolymer of unsaturated mono- or di-carbonic acid and C1-C30 alkyl ester of the (meth) acrylic acid. In another aspect, the rheology modifier may comprise a polyacrylate of unsaturated mono- or di-carbonic acid and C1-C30 alkyl ester of the (meth) acrylic acid. Such copolymers are available from Noveon Inc under the tradename Carbopol Aqua 30®. In the absence of rheology modifier and in order to impart the desired shear thinning characteristics to the liquid composition, the liquid composition can be internally structured through surfactant phase chemistry or gel phases.
UV Absorbers—in certain consumer product embodiments of the present invention, the photo-responsive encapsulates of the present invention may be stabilized against premature release by exposure to light of a sufficient wavelength during storage by incorporation of a suitable UV-absorbing ingredients into the composition. Any suitable UV-absorbing composition may be employed, but particularly preferred are those which do not impart an unpleasant color or odor to the composition, and which do not adversely affect the rheology of the product. Non-limiting examples of UV-absorbing ingredients include avobenzone, cinoxate, ecamsule, menthyl anthranilate, octyl methoxycinnamate, octyl salicylate, oxybenzone, sulisobenzone, and combinations thereof. Other suitable UV-absorbing ingredients are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,918, which is incorporated herein by reference. Applicants have surprisingly found that the use of such UV-absorbing ingredients do not compromise the light-activated performance of encapsulates of the present invention. Without wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that in many consumer product applications, e.g., cleaning compositions including laundry detergents, shampoos and body washes, the UV absorbing ingredient is washed down the drain while the encapsulates of the present invention are retained in an efficacious amount on the surface of interest where they are available to release their contents on subsequent exposure to light of a sufficient wavelength. In other cleaning compositions or leave-on consumer products, e.g., floor cleaning compositions, drapery and upholstery refreshers, body lotions, and hair styling products, it is believed that the UV-absorbing ingredients dry down to a thin film after application, allowing the encapsulates of the present invention to sit atop or extend above the film. This allows and efficacious amount of light of the desired wavelength to reach the encapsulates and effect the release of the benefit agents.
Packaging Materials
The embodiments of the present invention may be protected against premature release caused by exposure to light of a sufficient wavelength during storage by judicious selection of packaging. Any suitable package or package material that reduces or eliminates penetration of light into the composition contained therein may be employed. Non-limiting examples of packaging materials include coated cardboard, fiberboard or paperboard, colored polyolefins including HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE, and combinations thereof, polypropylene, and coated metal foils, among others.
In some cases, the formulator may wish to employ a more transparent or translucent, colorless packaging material to display the contents contained therein. Non-limiting examples of such transparent or translucent packaging materials include PET, PLA, PVC, HDPE, and blends or multilayer combinations of these, among others. In these circumstances, it is understood that an effective means to prevent some wavelengths of light from penetrating through the packaging material, while allowing other wavelengths to pass through, is desirable so that the contents may be seen while still maintaining stability of the embodiments of present invention. Any suitable means to filter or absorb light of the desired wavelength may be employed. A particularly preferred means is to incorporate a UV-absorbing composition into the resin during manufacture of the package, a non-limiting example of which is described in GB 2 228 940, which is incorporated herein by reference. Other means are use of a label or sleeve which absorbs the required wavelength of light, non-limiting examples of which are described in EP 01280713 B1.
Processes of Making and Using Compositions
The embodiments of the compositions of the present invention can be formulated into any suitable form and prepared by any process chosen by the formulator, non-limiting examples of which are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,879,584; 5,691,297; 5,574,005; 5,569,645; 5,565,422; 5,516,448; 5,489,392; 5,486,303 all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Method of Use
Compositions disclosed herein that contain the encapsulate disclosed herein can be used to clean or treat a situs inter alia a surface or fabric. Typically at least a portion of the situs is contacted with an embodiment of Applicants' composition, in neat form or diluted in a liquor, for example, a wash liquor and then the situs may be optionally washed and/or rinsed. In one aspect, a situs is optionally washed and/or rinsed, contacted with an encapsulate as described herein or composition comprising said encapsulate and then optionally washed and/or rinsed. For purposes of this disclosure, washing includes but is not limited to, scrubbing, and mechanical agitation. The situs may comprise most any material, for example a fabric, fabric capable of being laundered or treated in normal consumer use conditions. Liquors that may comprise the disclosed compositions may have a pH of from about 3 to about 11.5. Such compositions are typically employed at concentrations of from about 500 ppm to about 15,000 ppm in solution. When the wash solvent is water, the water temperature typically ranges from about 5° C. to about 90° C. and, when the situs comprises a fabric, the water to fabric ratio is typically from about 1:1 to about 30:1.
TEST METHODS
It is understood that the test methods that are disclosed in the Test Methods Section of the present application are used to determine the respective values of the parameters of Applicants' invention as such invention is described and claimed herein.
(1) Sample Preparation for Test Methods (if Sample is in a Slurry Form)
Before the encapsulate slurries can be used for the described tests, the sample is homogenized by shaking the sample for 20 minutes on a shaking table such as the Heidolph Promax 2020. Once homogenized, a 200 ml glass jar is filled with the slurry. This glass jar is then put on storage for the required time and condition. After the storage period, each 200 ml sample is again homogenized for 20 minutes on the shaking table. After homogenization the slurry is used for the experiments.

        a.) Place 1 gram of particles in 1 liter of distilled deionized (DI) water.
        b.) Permit the particles to remain in the DI water for 10 minutes and then recover the particles by filtration, using a 60 mL syringe filter, 1.2 micron nitrocellulose filter (Millipore, 25 mm diameter).
        c.) Determine the rupture force of 30 individual particles. The rupture force of a particle is determined using the procedure given in Zhang, Z.; Sun, G; “Mechanical Properties of Melamine-Formaldehyde microcapsules,” J. Microencapsulation, vol 18, no. 5, pages 593-602, 2001. Then calculate the fracture strength of each particle by dividing the rupture force (in Newtons) by the cross-sectional area of the respective spherical particle (πr2, where r is the radius of the particle before compression), said cross-sectional area being determined as follows: measuring the particle size of each individual particle using the experimental apparatus and method of Zhang, Z.; Sun, G; “Mechanical Properties of Melamine-Formaldehyde microcapsules,” J. Microencapsulation, vol 18, no. 5, pages 593-602, 2001.
        d.) Use the 30 independent measurements from c.) above, and calculate the percentage of particles having a fracture strength within the claimed range fracture strength range.
    
    


(2) Mean Particle Size
The mean particle size of the wax coated particles is determined using a Lasentec M500L-316-K supplied by Mettler-Toledo, Inc., 1900 Polaris Parkway, Columbus, Ohio, 43240, US. The equipment is setup (Lasentec, FBRM Control Interface, version 6.0) as described in the Lasentec manuel, issued February 2000.

(9) Measurement of Released Perfume in the Slurry (Also Known as Encapsulate Suspension) After Exposure to Light
After encapsulates' preparation the encapsulates' suspensions are kept in dark plastic bottles (Bottle LDPE 250 ml, brown wide neck+cap) provided by VWR international. Before UV irradiations the % of free perfume in the encapsulates' suspension is measured according to test method (5) Determination of free perfume composition in the slurry via % liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis.
Release test: 25 grams of encapsulates' suspension is stirred with a magnetic stirrer at 500 rpm and 22° C. for 30 minutes in a 30 mL white transparent bottle provided by Vidrafoc well closed. Then, the bottle is irradiated with UV light at 365 nm by treatment with a Vilber Lourmat VL-4. LC-230 V UV-lamp for 3 hours at 300 rpm. The lamp is set-up parallel to the bottle wall in a distance from about 20 cm. After 3 hours of irradiation, the lamp is switched off and the encapsulates' suspension is stirred for 10 minutes. 0.5 grams of the sample are collected for GC analysis as described in test method (5) Determination of free perfume composition in the slurry via % liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis. The rest of the encapsulates' suspension (aprox. 24.5 grams) is kept in the well closed in the original bottle, additionally protected with parafilm, for 24 h in the dark at 25° C. without stirring. After this time, the encapsulates' suspension is mixed for 30 minutes using a magnetic stirrer at 300 rpm in dark place and 0.5 grams of the slurry are analyzed following test method (5) Determination of free perfume composition in the slurry via % liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis. Once more, the bottle containing 24 grams of encapsulates' suspension is irradiated with UV light at 365 nm as described above and another sample of 0.5 grams is taken for analysis using method (5) Determination of free perfume composition in the slurry via % liquid-liquid extraction and gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis.

Example 1
a) Synthesis of 4,4′-Bis(chlorocarbonyl)azobenzene which is also known as azobenzene-4,4′-dicarbonyl dichloride.
15 grams of 4-nitrobenzoic acid (CAS 62-23-7) and 50 grams of sodium hydroxide are mixed in 225 mL of demineralised water and are heated to 70° C. until the solid is completely dissolved. Then, a hot aqueous glucose solution (100 grams, of glucose in 150 mL water) is slowly added at 70° C., whereupon a yellow precipitate is obtained. A stream of air is passed into the mixture for 5 hours and a light brown precipitate is obtained. This precipitate is filtered, dissolved in 20 mL of demineralised water and acidified with 25 mL acetic acid, thus: yielding azobenzene-4,4′-dicarboxylic acid as a light pink precipitate. This precipitate is filtered, washed with 1000 mL of demineralised water and dried in oven at 100° C. for 48 h. The azobenzene 4,4′-dicarboxylic acid thus obtained (9.0 g) and 17.5 g of PCl5 are mixed in 145 ml 1,2-dichloroethane at 0° C. The mixture is than refluxed for 2 hours at 80° C. under N2 atmosphere. The obtained bright red crystals are filtered and recrystallized one or more times from toluene.
b) Preparation of Microcapsules.
In order to obtain microcapsules a first solution is prepared by dissolving 0.25 grams of Polyvinyl alcohol (Mowiol®18-88, Mw ̃130,000 available from Fluka) in 25 ml of demineralized water at 40° C. and 500 rpm. Then, a second solution is prepared by dissolving 0.25 grams of azobenzene-4,4′-dicarbonyl dichloride (A1575, TCI) and 0.024 grams of 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride (147532, Aldrich), previously melted, in 12.5 ml of a Perfume Composition such as the ones described above in Table 6 at 25° C. A third solution is then prepared by dissolving 0.237 grams of 1,8-diaminoctane (D22401, Aldrich), previously melted, in 12.5 mL demi-water containing 0.125 grams of Polyvinyl alcohol (Mowiol® 18-88, Mw ̃130,000 available from Fluka). Then, a first composition is prepared by emulsifying the second solution into the first solution at 1,200 rpm for 20 minutes at 25° C. using an IKA RW20 mixer. Then, the third solution is added drop wise into the dispersion during 10 minutes and encapsulation is achieved by mixing this second composition at 300 rpm for 90 minutes at 0° C. to form perfume polyamide microcapsules. 200 mL of a sodium sulfate aqueous solution (6 grams of sodium sulfate (238597, Sigma-Aldrich) are dissolved in 194 mL demineralized water) are added to this second composition. This composition is used without further treatment. The level of perfume based on total weight composition in the composition is 5.4%.
Example 2
The procedure is analogous to Example 1 except that the longer time of the polycondensation reaction is 180 minutes rather than 90 minutes.
% free perfume in the composition after making the encapsulates: 0.36%
Example 3
The procedure is analogous to Example 2 except that the lower temperature of the polycondensation reaction is performed at 10° C. rather than at 20° C., so longer reaction time is required up to 240 minutes.

Example 24
Procedure is similar to Example 22, except 0.032 grams 1,2,4-benzenetriamine dihydrochloride are used.
Example 25
Procedure is similar to Example 6, except 56.35 grams of an aqueous solution (6 grams sodium sulfate (238597, Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.35 grams of Xantham Gum (Kelzan ASX-T, CP Kelco) are dissolved in 50 mL demineralized water) is used instead of 200 mL of a sodium sulfate aqueous solution. 25.002 grams of said composition prepared by this Example 25 are exposed to UV-light as described in test method (9) Measurement of released perfume in the encapsulate suspension after exposure to light, obtaining following results:

Thus, capsules are able to open with the light and close again after the light trigger is removed to avoid additional the perfume release.
Example 26
Procedure is similar to Example 25 except 0.51 grams 1,2-ethanediamine (Sigma-Aldrich) are used in place of the 1,8-diaminooctane. 25.037 grams of said composition prepared by this Example 26 are exposed to UV-light as described in test method (9) Measurement of released perfume in the encapsulate suspension after exposure to light, obtaining following results:

Thus, using this process, once capsules open with the light, there is a continuous release even in the darkness and further exposure to light is not needed to maintain the release of the perfume composition. Data after 3 weeks shows that the cross-linking of the shell is not adequate, since the perfume composition is leaking out of the capsule.
Example 27
Procedure is similar to Example 25 except 0.75 grams 1,4-diaminobutane (Sigma-Aldrich) are used in place of the 1,8-diaminooctane. 25.006 grams of said composition are exposed to UV-light as described in test method (9) Measurement of released perfume in the encapsulate suspension after exposure to light, obtaining following results:

Thus, examples 25, 26 and 27 teach us that the carbon chain length of the diamine may be key in order to obtain the right balance between stability and release, so short carbon chains do not provide the right stability profile or the proper release profile, while long carbon chains do. Combining encapsulates containing different carbon chain lengths provides the right balance between stability and release upon time and electromagnetic radiation.
Example 28
Procedure is similar to Example 4 except 56.35 grams of an aqueous solution (6 grams sodium sulfate (238597, Sigma-Aldrich) and 0.35 grams of Xantham Gum (Kelzan ASX-T, CP Kelco) are dissolved in 50 mL demineralized water) is used instead of 200 mL of a sodium sulfate aqueous solution. 25.037 grams of said composition are exposed to UV-light as described in test method (9) Measurement of released perfume in the encapsulate suspension after exposure to light, obtaining following results:

The amount of free amine in the composition may be important since this free amine might react in the interface of the perfume upon porosity increase due to exposure to electromagnetic radiation.
Example 29
Procedure is similar to Example 25 except 0.0615 grams 1,8-diaminooctane and 0.026 grams 1,2-ethanediamine are used. % free perfume in the composition (based on total weight composition) after making the encapsulates: 0.47%

Example 47
Agglomeration of Encapsulates
A 9 kg aliquot of perfume microcapsule slurry of example 1 (after phase split, only capsules are used for the agglomeration process) is mixed using a Eurostar mixer (IKA) with a R1382 attachment at a constant speed of 200 rpm. To the aliquot 500 grams of carboxymethyl cellulose (CP Kelco) is added while mixing using the Eurostar mixer with same attachment and speed as described above. The slurry is mixed for a total of two hours or until a uniform paste is formed. 1.28 kg of precipitated silica Sipernat® 22S (Degussa) is added to a F-20 paddle mixer (Forberg). The mixer is run initially for 5 seconds to distribute the silica evenly on the base of the mixer. The mixer is stopped and 8.25 kg of paste, is evenly distributed onto the powder. The mixer is then run at 120 rpm for a total of 30 seconds. Following mixing, the wet particles are dumped out of the mixer and screened using a 2,000 micron sieve to remove the oversize. The product passing through the screen is dried in 500 grams batches in a CDT 0.02 fluid bed dryer (Niro) to a final moisture content of 20 wt % measured by Karl Fischer. The dryer is operated at an inlet temperature of 140° C. and air velocity of 0.68 m/s.

Example 63
Rinse-off Conditioner
The following procedure is used to make a 500 gram batch of rinse-off conditioner. 14.24 grams of Genamin KDMP flakes are added to 410 grams of preheated water at 95 degrees Centigrade, in a 1 liter stainless steel vessel that is submerged in a water bath at 92 degrees Centigrade. The contents of the 1 liter vessel is held under agitation at 350 rpm using a IKA mixer, and a turbine agitator. A transparent solution is obtained after 5 minutes. Then, 9.3 grams of cetyl alcohol flakes, and 23.2 grams of stearyl alcohol flakes are added to the stainless steel vessel, with temperature of the contents controlled to 75-85 degrees Centigrade. Agitation is increased to 500 RPM. After 10 minutes, the following ingredients are added to the stainless steel vessel: 0.64 grams of Dissolvine EDTA acid, 6.8 grams of a 1 wt % sodium hydroxide solution, 2 g of Benzyl Alcohol, and 0.17 grams of Kathon CG preservative (methylchloroisothiazolinone and methylisothiazolinone). The contents are mixed for 2 minutes. The stainless steel reactor is then removed from the constant temperature water bath, and then the contents are cooled to 60 degrees centigrade using a cold water bath. The stainless steel reactor is placed under a IKA mill. 17.5 grams of Aminosilicone (Momentive Performance Chemicals, viscosity of 10,000 mPa·s) is premixed with 5.0 grams of the encapsulates as disclosed in the Example 42, and then slowly added to the stainless steel vessel, with the mill operating at 20,000 RPM. A spatula is used to assure that all of the material is overturned in the vessel. Milling is continued for 7 minutes at 55 degrees Centigrade. Finally, 0.25 grams of panthenyl ethyl ether and 0.50 grams of panthenol are added to the vessel, and agitated for 2 minutes. The conditioner viscosity and microstructure are characterized to assure that the conditioner formulation meets product design specifications.

7Additionally or alternatively, the composition may comprise one or more other skin care actives, their salts and derivatives, as disclosed herein, in amounts also disclosed herein as would be deemed suitable by one of skill in the art.






For the examples above, in a suitable container, combine the ingredients of Phase A. In a separate suitable container, combine the ingredients of Phase B. Heat each phase to 75° C. while mixing each phase using a suitable mixer (e.g., Anchor blade, propeller blade, or IKA T25) until each reaches a substantially constant desired temperature and is homogenous. Slowly add Phase B to Phase A while continuing to mix Phase A. Continue mixing until batch is uniform. Pour product into suitable containers at 75° C. and store at room temperature. Alternatively, continuing to stir the mixture as temperature decreases results in lower observed hardness values at 21 and 33° C.

The above examples 66A through 66E can be made via the following general process, which one skilled in the art will be able to alter to incorporate available equipment. The ingredients of Part I and Part II are mixed in separate suitable containers. Part II is then added slowly to Part I under agitation to assure the making of a water-in-silicone emulsion. The emulsion is then milled with suitable mill, for example a Greeco 1L03 from Greeco Corp, to create a homogenous emulsion. Part III is mixed and heated to 88° C. until the all solids are completely melted. The emulsion is then also heated to 88° C. and then added to the Part 3 ingredients. The final mixture is then poured into an appropriate container, and allowed to solidify and cool to ambient temperature.

Examples 66F to 66I can be made as follows: all ingredients except the fragrance, linalool, and dihydromyrcenol are combined in a suitable container and heated to about 85° C. to form a homogenous liquid. The solution is then cooled to about 62° C. and then the fragrance, linalool, and dihydromyrcenol are added. The mixture is then poured into an appropriate container and allowed to solidify up cooling to ambient temperature.
Example 66J can be made as follows: all the ingredients except the propellant are combined in an appropriate aerosol container. The container is then sealed with an appropriate aerosol delivery valve. Next air in the container is removed by applying a vacuum to the valve and then propellant is added to container through the valve. Finally, an appropriate actuator is connected to the valve to allow dispensing of the product.
