Title: Treatment compositions

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to treatment compositions and processes of making and using same. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     Treatment compositions, such as fabric treatments, typically comprise benefit agents such as silicones, fabric softeners, perfumes and perfume microcapsules. Generally there are trade-offs associated with using multiple benefit agents in one treatment composition. Such trade-offs include instability, as well as the loss or reduction of one or more of the benefit agents&#39; benefits. A reduction in one of the benefit agent&#39;s level can improve the performance of another benefit agent, yet the performance of the benefit agent that is being reduced suffers. In an effort to solve this dilemma, industry has turned to polymers. Current polymers systems can improve a treatment composition&#39;s stability but such improvement in stability comes with a decrease in encapsulated benefit agent deposition and a decreased encapsulated benefit agent release profile. 
     Applicants recognized that the traditional polymer system architecture was the source of the stability, deposition and release problems. In particular, Applicants recognized that traditional polymer systems did not contribute to the overall freshness benefit that was desired. Applicants discovered that, for fabric enhancers, in particular low pH fabric enhancers, when coupled with the judicious selection of at least two polymers, one with high cross-linking and one with low cross-linking polymer, the softener active level could be reduced to improve the composition&#39;s encapsulated benefit agent&#39;s deposition and release profile effectiveness, yet the perceived performance of softener active was surprisingly maintained. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe that the proper selection of such polymers provides an increase in encapsulated benefit agent efficiency and/or friction reduction which is interpreted by consumers as a fresher fabric having a softer and more preferred feel. 
     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to treatment compositions containing polymer systems that provide stability and benefit agent deposition as well as methods of making and using same. Such treatment compositions may be used for example as through the wash and/or through the rinse fabric enhancers as well as unit dose treatment compositions.

The First and Second Polymer
 
     Applicants recognized that traditional polymer architecture can be a source of finished product stability and dosage problems. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe the proper selection of one or more polymers yields a stable colloidal glass comprised of linear polymers capable of entangling and crosslinked polymers that generally cannot entangle. The aforementioned polymers enable the colloidal glass formation, as the crosslinked polymers&#39; interactions provide stability while the linear polymers interaction with the crosslinked polymers allows for the desired benefit agent deposition. Thus, fabric treatment compositions comprising such particles have a surprising combination of stability and active deposition efficiency. Such treatment compositions provide benefits such as fabric feel, antistatic, and freshness. 
     Here, Applicants recognized that further benefit improvements were needed, such as fabric feel (e.g., softness) and freshness; however, one approach of formulating higher and higher levels of Polymer 1 could lead to unwanted changes to finished product (FP) rheology, such as viscosity growth which could lead to increased product residue or modified aesthetics. Applicants also recognized that increasing levels of Polymer 1 tended to decrease freshness. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe the higher level of Polymer 1 can suppress the release of perfume from the situs (e.g., cotton terry), especially when higher level of Polymer 1 is combined with relatively high levels of softening actives. The Applicants recognized that the judicious selection of Polymer 2 will achieve the desired benefits. The proper selection of Polymer 2 includes the selection of polymer architectural parameters, such as monomers, charge density, lack of cross-linking and molecular weight. The Applicants recognized that obtaining the desired increase in benefits (e.g., freshness) requires the selection of individual and combined polymer levels, the ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2, and level of softening actives when the other selections are taken into account. While not being bound by theory, Applicants believe that the mass of material that will be delivered to a fabric by a fabric softener along with residual detergent materials on the fabric should be taken into account when designing a fabric softener. 
     Applicants found that selection of Polymer 2 to maximize benefits, such as freshness, could result in a return of stability problems addressed by the selection criteria for Polymer 1. The Applicants discovered a solution to this problem by also selecting Polymer 1 with a preferred viscosity slope (VS) value. 
     Polymer 1 Level: 
     The level of Polymer 1 in finished product (FP) is selected to achieve the desired properties of the FP, which include but are not limited to FP with preferred a) phase stability, b) rheology, c) freshness benefit and d) softness benefit. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the preferred level of Polymer 1 is necessary to provide structure to the finished product. Such structure enables for example particle-based benefit actives (e.g., perfume microcapsules (PMC)) to be suspended in the FP. In addition, a preferred level of Polymer 1 minimizes the risk of product instability, which can be manifested in phase splitting, which can lead to poor product aesthetics and uneven distribution of benefit actives. In addition Polymer 1 can improve the deposition of benefit actives, leading to improved freshness and softness. Such deposition improvement can involve carry-over anionic surfactant from the wash to form flocculates that lead to improved fabric deposition of benefit actives. The selection of Polymer 1 as described in the present inventions provides for a preferred FP viscosity slope (VS). It has surprisingly been found that preferred VS values enable improved FP phase stability, including when Polymer 1 is combined with Polymer 2. 
     A preferred level of Polymer 1 is from about 0.01% to about 1%, preferably from about 0.02% to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.03% to about 0.2%, even more preferably from about 0.06% to about 0.1%. However, in one aspect when the softener active level is less than 5% by weight of FP, a preferred level of Polymer 1 is from about 0.01% to about 1%, preferably from about 0.02% to about 0.5%. 
     Polymer 2 Level: 
     The level of Polymer 2 in finished product (FP) is selected to achieve the desired properties of the FP, which include but are not limited to FP with preferred a) phase stability, b) rheology, c) freshness benefit and d) softness benefit. Without wishing to be bound by theory, the preferred level of Polymer 2 minimizes the risk of high levels of Polymer 1 causing unwanted FP viscosity growth, which can lead to changes in product aesthetics and/or difficulty in FP pouring, dispensing and/or dispersion. Without wishing to be bound by theory, Polymer 2 can improve perfume system efficiency by enhancing perfume release to the headspace above the fabric, resulting in greater scent intensity and noticeability. The lower molecular weight and lower degree of cross-linking of Polymer 2 in comparison to Polymer 1 is necessary to enabling the improved release of perfume from the situs and/or from the perfume delivery technology (e.g., PMC). In addition, the preferred amount of Polymer 2 alone in the compositions of the present invention enables improved freshness. Selecting too low a concentration of polymer can yield minimal benefits, whereas too high a concentration of polymer can also reduce benefits. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that too much polymer leads to suppression of perfume release, in which perfume is not released in a timely manner, leading to lower intensity and inefficient and cost ineffective perfume formulations. 
     A preferred level of Polymer 2 is from about 0.01% to about 1%, preferably from about 0.02% to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.04% to about 0.3%, even more preferably from about 0.06% to about 0.2%. 
     Total Level of Polymer 1 and Polymer 2: 
     The total level of Polymer 1 and Polymer 2 in finished product (FP) is selected to achieve the desired properties of the FP, which include those described for Polymer 1 and Polymer 2 above. Selecting too low a concentration of polymer can yield minimal benefits, whereas too high a concentration of polymer can also reduce benefits. Without being bound by theory, it is believed that too much polymer leads to suppression of perfume release, in which perfume is not released in a timely manner, leading to lower intensity and inefficient and cost ineffective perfume formulations. 
     A preferred total level of Polymer 1 and Polymer 2 is from about 0.01% to about 1%, preferably from about 0.05% to about 0.75%, more preferably from about 0.075% to about 0.5%, more preferably from about 0.075% to about 0.4%, even more preferably from about 0.06% to about 0.3%. 
     Ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2: 
     The ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 in finished product (FP) is selected to achieve the desired properties of the FP, which include those described for Polymer 1 and Polymer 2 above. It was surprisingly found that selecting too high a ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 reduces the freshness benefit, whereas selecting too low a ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 results in poor FP stability. For example, in one embodiment the ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 is from about 1:5 to about 10:1, preferably, about 1:2 to about 5:1, even more preferably about 1:1 to about 3:1, most preferably from about 3:2 to 5:1. 
     In some embodiments of the present invention, the freshness benefit is reduced when the ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 is 100:1 (i.e., nil Polymer 2), but also reduced when the ratio of Polymer 1 to Polymer 2 is 1:1. One such embodiment is when the total level of Polymer 1 and Polymer 2 in the composition of the present invention is from about 0.06% to about 0.3%. 
     Polymer 2 Molecular Weight: 
     In another aspect, the polymer comprises a Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) from about 5,000 Daltons to about 1,000,000 Daltons, preferably from about 10,000 Daltons to about 1,000,000 Daltons, more preferably from about 25,000 Daltons to about 600,000 Daltons, more preferably from about 50,000 Daltons to about 450,000 Daltons, more preferably from about 100,000 Daltons to about 350,000 Daltons, most preferably from about 150,000 Daltons to about 350,000 Daltons; in other aspect from about 25,000 Daltons to about 150,000 Daltons. 
     The molecular weight can also be correlated to the k value of the polymer. In one aspect the k value is from about 10 to 100, preferably from about 15 to 60, preferably from about 20 to 60, more preferably from about 20 to 55, more preferably from about 25 to 55, more preferably from about 25 to 45, most preferably from 30 to 45; in other aspect the k value is from about 15 to 30. 
     Polymer 1 Molecular Weight: 
     In another aspect, Polymer 1 comprises a Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) from about 500,000 Daltons to about 15,000,000 Daltons, preferably from about 1,000,000 Daltons to about 6,0000,000 Daltons, more preferably from about 2,000,000 to 4,000,000. 
     In another embodiment, when Polymer 1 is cross-linked with one or more cross-linking agents, Polymer 1 may consist of a mixture of polymers with different degrees of cross-linking, including polymers that are highly cross-linked and polymer that are essentially non-cross-linked. Without being bound by theory, cross-linked polymers are more water insoluble, whereas non-cross-linked polymers are more water soluble. In one embodiment, Polymer 1 consists of a fraction of water soluble (non-cross-linked) and a fraction of water insoluble (cross-linked) polymers. In one embodiment, Polymer 1 has a weight percent water soluble fraction of from about 0.1% to 80%, preferably from about 1% to 60%, more preferably from 10% to 40%, most preferably from 25% to 35%. In another embodiment, Polymer 1 has a weight percent water soluble fraction of from 5% to 25%. Without being bound by theory, the Weight Average Molecular Weights (Mw) of the soluble and insoluble fractions of Polymer 1 are similar (i.e., both are within the Mw range for Polymer 1). 
     In still another embodiment, Polymer 1 comprises a Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) from about 5 times to about 100 times the Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) of Polymer 2, preferably from about 10 times to about 50 times, more preferably from about 20 times to about 40 times, wherein Polymer 2 comprises a Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) from about 50,000 Daltons to about 150,000 Daltons.

     Sucrose Esters 
     Nonionic fabric care benefit agents can comprise sucrose esters, and are typically derived from sucrose and fatty acids. Sucrose ester is composed of a sucrose moiety having one or more of its hydroxyl groups esterified.

     Alternatively, the sucrose molecule can be represented by the formula: M(OH) 8 , wherein M is the disaccharide backbone and there are total of 8 hydroxyl groups in the molecule. 
     Thus, sucrose esters can be represented by the following formula:
 
M(OH) 8-x (OC(O)R 1 ) x  
 
     wherein x is the number of hydroxyl groups that are esterified, whereas (8−x) is the hydroxyl groups that remain unchanged; x is an integer selected from 1 to 8, alternatively from 2 to 8, alternatively from 3 to 8, or from 4 to 8; and R 1  moieties are independently selected from C 1 -C 22  alkyl or C 1 -C 30  alkoxy, linear or branched, cyclic or acyclic, saturated or unsaturated, substituted or unsubstituted. 
     In one embodiment, the R 1  moieties comprise linear alkyl or alkoxy moieties having independently selected and varying chain length. For example, R 1  may comprise a mixture of linear alkyl or alkoxy moieties wherein greater than about 20% of the linear chains are C 18 , alternatively greater than about 50% of the linear chains are C 18 , alternatively greater than about 80% of the linear chains are C 18 . 
     In another embodiment, the R 1  moieties comprise a mixture of saturate and unsaturated alkyl or alkoxy moieties; the degree of unsaturation can be measured by “Iodine Value” (hereinafter referred as “IV”, as measured by the standard AOCS method). The IV of the sucrose esters suitable for use herein ranges from about 1 to about 150, or from about 2 to about 100, or from about 5 to about 85. The R 1  moieties may be hydrogenated to reduce the degree of unsaturation. In the case where a higher IV is preferred, such as from about 40 to about 95, then oleic acid and fatty acids derived from soybean oil and canola oil are the starting materials. 
     In a further embodiment, the unsaturated R 1  moieties may comprise a mixture of “cis” and “trans” forms about the unsaturated sites. The “cis”/“trans” ratios may range from about 1:1 to about 50:1, or from about 2:1 to about 40:1, or from about 3:1 to about 30:1, or from about 4:1 to about 20:1. 
     Dispersible Polyolefins 
     Generally, all dispersible polyolefins that provide fabric care benefits can be used as water insoluble fabric care benefit agents in the present invention. The polyolefins can be in the format of waxes, emulsions, dispersions or suspensions. Non-limiting examples are discussed below. 
     In one embodiment, the polyolefin is chosen from a polyethylene, polypropylene, or a combination thereof. The polyolefin may be at least partially modified to contain various functional groups, such as carboxyl, alkylamide, sulfonic acid or amide groups. In another embodiment, the polyolefin is at least partially carboxyl modified or, in other words, oxidized. 
     For ease of formulation, the dispersible polyolefin may be introduced as a suspension or an emulsion of polyolefin dispersed by use of an emulsifying agent. The polyolefin suspension or emulsion may comprise from about 1% to about 60%, alternatively from about 10% to about 55%, alternatively from about 20% to about 50% by weight of polyolefin. The polyolefin may have a wax dropping point (see ASTM D3954-94, volume 15.04—“Standard Test Method for Dropping Point of Waxes”) from about 20° to about 170° C., alternatively from about 50° to about 140° C. Suitable polyethylene waxes are available commercially from suppliers including but not limited to Honeywell (A-C polyethylene), Clariant (Velustrol® emulsion), and BASF (LUWAX®). 
     When an emulsion is employed with the dispersible polyolefin, the emulsifier may be any suitable emulsification agent. Non-limiting examples include an anionic, cationic, nonionic surfactant, or a combination thereof. However, almost any suitable surfactant or suspending agent may be employed as the emulsification agent. The dispersible polyolefin is dispersed by use of an emulsification agent in a ratio to polyolefin wax of about 1:100 to about 1:2, alternatively from about 1:50 to about 1:5, respectively. 
     Polymer Latexes 
     Polymer latex is made by an emulsion polymerization which includes one or more monomers, one or more emulsifiers, an initiator, and other components familiar to those of ordinary skill in the art. Generally, all polymer latexes that provide fabric care benefits can be used as water insoluble fabric care benefit agents of the present invention. Additional non-limiting examples include the monomers used in producing polymer latexes such as: (1) 100% or pure butylacrylate; (2) butylacrylate and butadiene mixtures with at least 20% (weight monomer ratio) of butylacrylate; (3) butylacrylate and less than 20% (weight monomer ratio) of other monomers excluding butadiene; (4) alkylacrylate with an alkyl carbon chain at or greater than C 6 ; (5) alkylacrylate with an alkyl carbon chain at or greater than C 6  and less than 50% (weight monomer ratio) of other monomers; (6) a third monomer (less than 20% weight monomer ratio) added into an aforementioned monomer systems; and (7) combinations thereof. 
     Polymer latexes that are suitable fabric care benefit agents in the present invention may include those having a glass transition temperature of from about −120° C. to about 120° C., alternatively from about −80° C. to about 60° C. Suitable emulsifiers include anionic, cationic, nonionic and amphoteric surfactants. Suitable initiators include initiators that are suitable for emulsion polymerization of polymer latexes. The particle size diameter (χ 50 ) of the polymer latexes can be from about 1 nm to about 10 μm, alternatively from about 10 nm to about 1 μm, or even from about 10 nm to about 20 nm. 
     Fatty Acid 
     One aspect of the invention provides a fabric softening composition comprising a fatty acid, such as a free fatty acid. The term “fatty acid” is used herein in the broadest sense to include unprotonated or protonated forms of a fatty acid; and includes fatty acid that is bound or unbound to another chemical moiety as well as the various combinations of these species of fatty acid. One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the pH of an aqueous composition will dictate, in part, whether a fatty acid is protonated or unprotonated. In another embodiment, the fatty acid is in its unprotonated, or salt form, together with a counter ion, such as, but not limited to, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and the like. The term “free fatty acid” means a fatty acid that is not bound to another chemical moiety (covalently or otherwise) to another chemical moiety. 
     In one embodiment, the fatty acid may include those containing from about 12 to about 25, from about 13 to about 22, or even from about 16 to about 20, total carbon atoms, with the fatty moiety containing from about 10 to about 22, from about 12 to about 18, or even from about 14 (mid-cut) to about 18 carbon atoms. 
     The fatty acids of the present invention may be derived from (1) an animal fat, and/or a partially hydrogenated animal fat, such as beef tallow, lard, etc.; (2) a vegetable oil, and/or a partially hydrogenated vegetable oil such as canola oil, safflower oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil, sesame seed oil, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, soybean oil, tall oil, rice bran oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, coconut oil, other tropical palm oils, linseed oil, tung oil, etc.; (3) processed and/or bodied oils, such as linseed oil or tung oil via thermal, pressure, alkali-isomerization and catalytic treatments; (4) a mixture thereof, to yield saturated (e.g. stearic acid), unsaturated (e.g. oleic acid), polyunsaturated (linoleic acid), branched (e.g. isostearic acid) or cyclic (e.g. saturated or unsaturated α-disubstituted cyclopentyl or cyclohexyl derivatives of polyunsaturated acids) fatty acids. 
     Mixtures of fatty acids from different fat sources can be used. 
     In one aspect, at least a majority of the fatty acid that is present in the fabric softening composition of the present invention is unsaturated, e.g., from about 40% to 100%, from about 55% to about 99%, or even from about 60% to about 98%, by weight of the total weight of the fatty acid present in the composition, although fully saturated and partially saturated fatty acids can be used. As such, the total level of polyunsaturated fatty acids (TPU) of the total fatty acid of the inventive composition may be from about 0% to about 75% by weight of the total weight of the fatty acid present in the composition. 
     The cis/trans ratio for the unsaturated fatty acids may be important, with the cis/trans ratio (of the C18:1 material) being from at least about 1:1, at least about 3:1, from about 4:1 or even from about 9:1 or higher. 
     Branched fatty acids such as isostearic acid are also suitable since they may be more stable with respect to oxidation and the resulting degradation of color and odor quality. 
     The Iodine Value or “IV” measures the degree of unsaturation in the fatty acid. In one embodiment of the invention, the fatty acid has an IV from about 10 to about 140, from about 15 to about 100 or even from about 15 to about 60. 
     Another class of fatty ester fabric care actives is softening oils, which include but are not limited to, vegetable oils (such as soybean, sunflower, and canola), hydrocarbon based oils (natural and synthetic petroleum lubricants, in one aspect polyolefins, isoparaffins, and cyclic paraffins), triolein, fatty esters, fatty alcohols, fatty amines, fatty amides, and fatty ester amines. Oils can be combined with fatty acid softening agents, clays, and silicones. 
     Clays 
     In one embodiment of the invention, the fabric care composition may comprise a clay as a fabric care active. In one embodiment clay can be a softener or co-softeners with another softening active, for example, silicone. Suitable clays include those materials classified geologically smectites. 
     Silicone 
     In one embodiment, the fabric softening composition comprises a silicone. Suitable levels of silicone may comprise from about 0.1% to about 70%, alternatively from about 0.3% to about 40%, alternatively from about 0.5% to about 30%, alternatively from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the composition. Useful silicones can be any silicone comprising compound. In one embodiment, the silicone polymer is selected from the group consisting of cyclic silicones, polydimethylsiloxanes, aminosilicones, cationic silicones, silicone polyethers, silicone resins, silicone urethanes, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the silicone is a polydialkylsilicone, alternatively a polydimethyl silicone (polydimethyl siloxane or “PDMS”), or a derivative thereof. In another embodiment, the silicone is chosen from an aminofunctional silicone, amino-polyether silicone, alkyloxylated silicone, cationic silicone, ethoxylated silicone, propoxylated silicone, ethoxylated/propoxylated silicone, quaternary silicone, or combinations thereof.

     Test Methods 
     Viscosity Slope Method 1 
     The viscosity slope value quantifies the rate at which the viscosity increases as a function of increasing polymer concentration. The viscosity slope of a single polymer or of a dual polymer system is determined from viscosity measurements conducted on a series of aqueous solutions which span a range of polymer concentrations. The viscosity slope of a polymer is determined from a series of aqueous polymer solutions and which are termed polymer solvent solutions. The aqueous phase is prepared gravimetrically by adding hydrochloric acid to deionized water to reach a pH of about 3.0. A series of polymer solvent solutions are prepared to logarithmically span between 0.01 and 1 weight percent of the polymer in the aqueous phase. Each polymer solvent solutions is prepared gravimetrically by mixing the polymer and solvent with a SpeedMixer DAC 150 FVZ-K (made by FlackTek Inc. of Landrum, S.C.) for 1 minute at 2,500 RPM in a Max 60 cup or Max 100 cup to the target polymer weight percent of the polymer solvent solution. Polymer solvent solutions are allowed to come to equilibrium by resting for at least 24 hours. Viscosity as a function of shear rate of each polymer solvent solutions is measured at 40 different shear rates using an Anton Paar Rheometer with a DSR 301 measuring head and concentric cylinder geometry. The time differential for each measurement is logarithmic over the range of 180 and 10 seconds and the shear rate range for the measurements is 0.001 to 500 l/seconds (measurements taken from the low shear rate to the high shear rate). 
     Viscosity at a shear rate of 0.01 l/seconds as a function of polymer weight percent of the polymer solvent solution is fit using the equation Y=bX a  wherein X is the polymer concentration in the solvent polymer solution, Y is the polymer solvent solution viscosity, b is the extrapolated solvent polymer solution viscosity when X is extrapolated to unity and the exponent a is polymer concentration viscosity scaling power over the polymer concentration range where the exponent a is the highest value. 
     Viscosity Slope Method 2 
     The viscosity slope value quantifies the rate at which the viscosity increases as a function of increasing polymer concentration. The viscosity slope of a single polymer or of a dual polymer system is determined from viscosity measurements conducted on a series of aqueous solutions which span a range of polymer concentrations and which are termed polymer solvent solutions. Viscosity analyses are conducted using an Anton Paar Dynamic Shear Rheometer model DSR 301 Measuring Head, equipped with a 32-place Automatic Sample Changer (ASC) with reusable metal concentric cylinder geometry sample holders, and Rheoplus software version 3.62 (all from Anton Paar GmbH., Graz, Austria). All polymer solutions are mixed using a high-speed motorized mixer, such as a Dual Asymmetric Centrifuge SpeedMixer model DAC 150 FVZ-K (FlackTek Inc., Landrum, S.C., USA) or equivalent. 
     The aqueous phase diluent for all of the aqueous polymer solutions is prepared by adding sufficient concentrated hydrochloric acid (e.g. 16 Baume, or 23% HCl) to deionized water until a pH of about 3.0 is achieved. The polymer(s) are combined with the aqueous phase diluent in a mixer cup (such as the Flacktek Speedmixer Max 100 or Max 60) that is compatible with the mixer to be used and is of a suitable size to hold a sample volume of 35 mL to 100 mL. Sufficient polymer is added to the aqueous phase diluent to achieve a concentration of between 8000-10000 ppm of the single polymer, or of the polymer 2 in the case of a dual polymer system, and to yield a volume of between 35 mL to 100 mL. The mixture of the polymer(s) and the aqueous phase is mixed for 4 minutes at a speed of 3500 RPM. After mixing, this initial polymer solvent solution is put aside to rest in a sealed container for at least 24 hours. 
     A single viscosity measurement is obtained from each of 32 polymer solvent solutions wherein each solution has a different concentration of polymer. These 32 polymer solvent solutions comprise a series of solutions that span the concentration range of 1000 ppm to 4000 ppm, with the solutions spaced at concentration intervals of approximately every 100 ppm. Each of the 32 polymer solvent solution concentrations is prepared gravimetrically by mixing the initial 8000-10000 ppm polymer solvent solution with sufficient additional aqueous phase diluent to result in a solution having the required target concentration and a volume of 35 mL to 100 mL, which is then mixed for 2 minutes at a speed of 3500 RPM. All of the resultant polymer solvent solutions are put aside to rest in a sealed cup for at least 24 hours. Polymer solutions are loaded into the concentric cylinder sample holders of the rheometer&#39;s ASC, using a pipette to fill each cylinder up to the line indicating a volume of 23 mL. The samples are stored in the ASC of the rheometer at a temperature of approximately 21° C. for up to 36 hours until measured. The viscosity of each of the 32 polymer solvent solutions is measured at the shear rate of 0.0105 l/s, and the viscosity value in units of Pa·s is recorded as soon as the value being measured is stable and consistent. The recorded viscosity values measured at a shear rate of 0.0105 l/s are paired with the value of the respective concentration of the polymer solvent solution measured. The resultant paired data values are plotted as 32 data points on a graph with viscosity in units of Pa·s on the x-axis, and polymer concentration in units of ppm on the y-axis. This data set is subsampled repeatedly to yield 30 subsets, wherein each subset comprises three consecutive data points. The subset creation process begins with the data point at the lowest polymer concentration and advances in sequence increasing toward the highest polymer concentration, until 30 unique subsets have been created. The subset creation process advances up to higher concentrations in steps of 1 data point at a time. 
     The three data points in each subset are fit with the following linear equation, using linear least squares regression, to determine the value of the exponent “a” for each of the 30 subsets:
 
 Y=bX   a  
 
wherein;
 
X is the polymer concentration in the solvent polymer solution (in ppm),
 
Y is the polymer solvent solution viscosity (in Pa·s)
 
b is the extrapolated solvent polymer solution viscosity (in Pa·s) when X is extrapolated to the value of 1 ppm,
 
and the exponent a is a unitless parameter.
 
     The Viscosity Slope value reported for the material being tested is the highest value calculated for the exponent “a”, of all of the 30 values calculated for the exponent “a” from the 30 subsets. 
     Brookfield Viscosity 
     Brookfield viscosity is measured using a Brookfield DV-E viscometer. The liquid is contained in a glass jar, where the width of the glass jar is from about 5.5 to 6.5 cm and the height of the glass jar is from about 9 to about 11 cm. For viscosities below 500 cPs, use spindle LV2 at 60 RPM, and to measure viscosities from 500 to 2,000 cPs, use spindle LV3 at 60 RPM. The test is conducted in accordance with the instrument&#39;s instructions. Initial Brookfield viscosity is defined as the Brookfield viscosity measured within 24 hours of making the subject composition. 
     Physical Stability 
     Physical stability is assessed by visual observation of the product in an undisturbed glass jar, where the width of the glass jar is from about 5.5 to 6.5 cm and the height of the glass jar is from about 9 to about 11 cm, after 4 weeks at 25° C. Using a ruler with millimeter graduation, the height of the liquid in the jar and the height of any visually observed phase separation are measured. The Stability Index is defined as the height of the phase split divided by the height of the liquid in the glass jar. A product with no visually observable phase split is given a stability index of zero. 
     K Value for Polymer 2 
     The sample consists of a solution of 1% on polymer and 3% on NaCl. With this purpose the calculated amount of sample is weighted in a 50 mL volumetric flask, dissolved initially with a small amount of the 3%-NaCl solution and then the flask is filled until the calibration mark (under the meniscus). A magnetic bar is introduced in the flask and stirred for 30 min. (There should be no visible supernatant, otherwise, the sample should be filtered). Finally, the solution is transferred to the Ubeholde Viscometer and attached to the machine. The sample is tempered for 10 min in the machine at 25° C. and four measurements are carried out. The machine pumps the sample solution through the capillary and waits 10 min before the measurement starts. Subsequently the fourfold measurement takes place (if an outlier occurs, a new measurement takes place automatically). 
     Method for Determining Weight Percent Water Soluble Fraction for Polymer 1 
     For the determination of soluble and insoluble parts of the polymer, fractionation experiments using Analytical ultracentrifugation were performed. Sedimentation velocity runs using a Beckman Optima XL-I (Beckman Instruments, Palo Alto, USA) with interference optical detection system (wavelength 675 nm) was used. The samples have been measured at polymer concentrations below critical polymer overlap concentration using salt solution to insure polyelectrolyte screening effect. The centrifugation speed was varied between 1000 rpm and 45,000 rpm. 
     The sedimentation coefficient, defined as a median value for each fraction, and the concentration of one sedimenting fraction were determined using a standard analysis Software (SEDFIT) using the density and viscosity of the solvent, and a specific refractive index increment of the polymer. The sedimentation coefficient is in units of Sved (1Sved=10 −13  seconds). The standard deviation for the determination of weight fraction and sedimentation coefficients of water soluble and crosslinked water-swellable polymers is 3%, 10% and up to 30% respectively. The weight percent of soluble polymer is the AUC value. 
     Measurement of Weight Average Molecular Weight (Mw) for Polymer 2 
     The weight average molecular weights of the cationic polymers of the present invention are determined by the technique of Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). SEC separation is carried out under conditions including three hydrophilic vinyl polymer network Novema gel columns, in distilled water ion the presence of 0.1% (w/w) trifluoroacetate and 0.1 M NaCl at 35° C. Calibration is conducted with narrowly distributed poly(2-vinylpyridine)-standard of company PSS, Deutschland with molecular weights Mw=839 to M=2.070.000.

   73.47 g (2.45 pphm) of stabilizing agent B (15% in solvent) as stabilizing surfactant,   124.58 g (5.22 pphm) of a polymeric stabiliser stearyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid copolymer (18.87% in solvent),   354.15 g (78.7 pphm) of 2-ethylhexyl stearate, and   105.93 g (23.54 pphm) of dearomatised hydrocarbon solvent with a boiling point between 160° C. till 190° C.   4.50 g (0.01 pphm) Pentaerythrityl tri/tetraacrylate (PETIA) (1% i-Propanol solution).       

     The two phases are mixed together in a ratio of 43 parts oil phase to 57 parts aqueous phase under high shear to form a water-in-oil emulsion. The resulting water-in-oil emulsion is transferred to a reactor equipped with nitrogen sparge tube, stirrer and thermometer. 0.11 g (0.025 pphm) 2,2-Azobis(2-methylbutyronitril) is added and the emulsion is purged with nitrogen to remove oxygen. 
     Polymerisation is effected by addition of a redox couple of sodium metabisulphite and tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (one shot: 2.25 g (1% in solvent/0.005 pphm) stepwise such that is a temperature increase of 1.5° C./min. After the isotherm is completed the emulsion held at 85° C. for 60 minutes. Then residual monomer reduction with 18.25 g (0.25 pphm) tertiary butyl hydroperoxide (6.16% in solvent) and 21.56 g (0.25 pphm) sodium metabisulphite (5.22% in emulsion) is started (1.5 hours feeding time). 
     Vacuum distillation is carried out to remove water and volatile solvent to give a final product, i.e. a dispersion containing 50% polymer solids. 
     To this product addition is made of 63.0 g (14.0 pphm) of a fatty alcohol alkoxylate [alcohol C 6 -C 17 (secondary) poly(3-6)ethoxylate: 97% secondary alcohol ethoxylate+3% poly(ethylene oxide)], (CAS No. 84133-50-6). 
     Examples P1.1.1 to P1.1.14 in Table 1 are prepared according to the same process as the one described above for Example 1.

     Example 4: Synthesis for Polymer 2 that are Made by Solution Polymerization 
     Into a 2 L glass reactor equipped with a thermometer, an anchor stirrer, a nitrogen feed and a reflux condenser, 0.57 g of a 40% aqueous solution of Trilon C, 10.96 g (0.057 mole) of citric acid and 747 g of ion exchanged water were charged. Thereafter, the solution was purged by a flow of nitrogen gas and the inner temperature was elevated to 70° C. Afterwards 0.57 g of Wako V50 in 36.09 g of ion exchanged water were added thereto, 90.06 g (0.634 mole) of 50% aqueous acrylamide solution and 230.05 g (1.188 mole) of a 84% solution of dimethylaminoethylacrylate-methochloride in 25.56 g of ion exchanged water were added continuously to the reaction system over 2 hours 45 min while keeping the inner temperature at 70° C. Thereafter, the inner temperature was kept at 70° C. for 1 hour to complete the reaction. Afterwards 1.15 g of Wako V50 in 7.16 g of ion exchanged water were added at once and the reaction stirred for 2 h, before cooling down. The obtained product is a 21.9% aqueous polymer solution having a pH of 2.8 and a K-value of 55.5.

     Example 8. Fabric Preparation Example 
     Fabrics are assessed using Kenmore FS 600 and/or 80 series washer machines. Wash Machines are set at: 32° C./15° C. wash/rinse temperature, 6 gpg hardness, normal cycle, and medium load (64 liters). Fabric bundles consist of 2.5 kilograms of clean fabric consisting of 100% cotton. Test swatches are included with this bundle and comprise of 100% cotton Euro Touch terrycloth towels (purchased from Standard Textile, Inc. Cincinnati, Ohio). Prior to treatment with any test products, the fabric bundles are stripped according to the Fabric Preparation-Stripping and Desizing procedure before running the test. Tide Free liquid detergent (lx recommended dose) is added under the surface of the water after the machine is at least half full. Once the water stops flowing and the washer begins to agitate, the clean fabric bundle is added. When the machine is almost full with rinse water, and before agitation has begun, the fabric care testing composition is slowly added (lx dose), ensuring that none of the fabric care testing composition comes in direct contact with the test swatches or fabric bundle. When the wash/rinse cycle is complete, each wet fabric bundle is transferred to a corresponding dryer. The dryer used is a Maytag commercial series (or equivalent) electric dryer, with the timer set for 55 minutes on the cotton/high heat/timed dry setting. This process is repeated for a total of three (3) complete wash-dry cycles. After the third drying cycle and once the dryer stops, 12 Terry towels from each fabric bundle are removed for actives deposition analysis. The fabrics are then placed in a constant Temperature/Relative Humidity (21° C., 50% relative humidity) controlled grading room for 12-24 hours and then graded for softness and/or actives deposition. 
     The Fabric Preparation-Stripping and Desizing procedure includes washing the clean fabric bundle (2.5 Kg of fabric comprising 100% cotton) including the test swatches of 100% cotton EuroTouch terrycloth towels for 5 consecutive wash cycles followed by a drying cycle. AATCC (American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists) High Efficiency (HE) liquid detergent is used to strip/de-size the test swatch fabrics and clean fabric bundle (1× recommended dose per wash cycle). The wash conditions are as follows: Kenmore FS 600 and/or 80 series wash machines (or equivalent), set at: 48° C./48° C. wash/rinse temperature, water hardness equal to 0 gpg, normal wash cycle, and medium sized load (64 liters). The dryer timer is set for 55 minutes on the cotton/high/timed dry setting. 
     Example 9: Silicone on Fabric Measurement Method 
     Silicone is extracted from approximately 0.5 grams of fabric (previously treated according to the test swatch treatment procedure) with 12 mL of either 50:50 toluene:methylisobutyl ketone or 15:85 ethanol:methylisobutyl ketone in 20 mL scintillation vials. The vials are agitated on a pulsed vortexer for 30 minutes. The silicone in the extract is quantified using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). ICP calibration standards of known silicone concentration are made using the same or a structurally comparable type of silicone raw material as the products being tested. The working range of the method is 8-2300 μg silicone per gram of fabric. Concentrations greater than 2300 μg silicone per gram of fabric can be assessed by subsequent dilution. Deposition efficiency index of silicone is determined by calculating as a percentage, how much silicone is recovered, via the aforementioned extraction and measurement technique, versus how much is delivered via the formulation examples. The analysis is performed on terrycloth towels (EuroSoft towel, sourced from Standard Textile, Inc, Cincinnati, Ohio) that are treated according to the wash procedure outlined herein. 
     Example 10: Example for Determining the Recovery Index for Organo Siloxane Polymer 
     The Recovery Index is measured using a Tensile and Compression Tester Instrument, such as the Instron Model 5565 (Instron Corp., Norwood, Mass., U.S.A.). The instrument is configured by selecting the following settings: the mode is Tensile Extension; the Waveform Shape is Triangle; the Maximum Strain is 10%, the Rate is 0.83 mm/sec, the number of Cycles is 4; and the Hold time is 15 seconds between cycles.
         1) Determine the weight of one approximately 25.4 cm square swatch of 100% cotton woven fabric, (a suitable fabric is the Mercerized Combed Cotton Warp Sateen, Product Code 479, available from Testfabrics Inc., West Pittston, Pa., USA).   2) Determine the amount of organo siloxane polymer required to deposit 5 mg of the polymer per gram of fabric swatch and weigh that amount into a 50 ml plastic centrifuge tube with a lid.   3) Dilute the organo siloxane polymer to 1.3 times the weight of the swatch with a solvent that completely dissolves or disperses the organo siloxane polymer (examples: isopropyl alcohol, THF, N,N-dimethylacetamide, water).   4) Thoroughly disperse or dissolve organo siloxane with shaking or vortex stirring as needed.   5) Place fabric swatch lying flat into a stainless steel tray that is larger than the swatch.   6) Pour the organo siloxane polymer solution over the entire swatch as evenly as possible.   7) Fold the swatch twice to quarter, then roll it up while gently squeezing to disperse solution to the entire swatch.   8) Unfold and repeat Step 7, folding in the opposite direction   9) To make a control swatch, repeat the procedure described above using 1.3× weight of solvent only (nil active).   10) Lay each swatch on a separate piece of aluminum foil and place in a fume hood to dry overnight.   11) Cure each swatch in an oven with appropriate ventilation at 90° C. for 5 minutes, (a suitable oven is the Mathis Labdryer, with 1500 rpm fan rotation) (Werner Mathis AG, Oberhasli, Switzerland).   12) Condition fabrics in a constant temperature (21° C.+/−2° C.) and humidity (50% RH+/−5% RH) room for at least 6 hours.   13) With scissors, cut the edge of one entire side of each swatch in the warp direction and carefully remove fabric threads one at a time without stressing the fabric until an even edge is achieved.   14) Cut 4 strips of fabric from each swatch (die or rotary cut), parallel to the even edge, that are 2.54 cm wide and at least 10 cm long   15) Evenly clamp the top and bottom (narrower edges) of the fabric strip into the 2.54 cm grips on the tensile tester instrument with a 2.54 cm gap setting, loading a small amount of force (0.1N—0.2N) on the sample.   16) Strain to 10% at 0.83 mm/s and return to 2.54 cm gap at the same rate.   17) Release bottom clamp and re-clamp sample during the hold cycle, loading 0.1N-0.2N of force on the sample.   18) Repeat Steps 15-16 until 4 hysteresis cycles have been completed for the sample.   19) Analyze 4 fabric samples per treatment swatch by the above method and average the tensile strain values recorded at 0.1 N unload for Cycle 4. Recovery is calculated as follows:

     Example 11: Fabric Friction Measures Example 
     For the examples cited a Thwing-Albert FP2250 Friction/Peel Tester with a 2 kilogram force load cell is used to measure fabric to fabric friction. (Thwing Albert Instrument Company, West Berlin, N.J.). The sled is a clamping style sled with a 6.4 by 6.4 cm footprint and weighs 200 g (Thwing Albert Model Number 00225-218). A comparable instrument to measure fabric to fabric friction would be an instrument capable of measuring frictional properties of a horizontal surface. A 200 gram sled that has footprint of 6.4 cm by 6.4 cm and has a way to securely clamp the fabric without stretching it would be comparable. It is important, though, that the sled remains parallel to and in contact with the fabric during the measurement. The distance between the load cell to the sled is set at 10.2 cm. The crosshead arm height to the sample stage is adjusted to 25 mm (measured from the bottom of the cross arm to the top of the stage) to ensure that the sled remains parallel to and in contact with the fabric during the measurement. The following settings are used to make the measure:

     The 11.4 cm×6.4 cm cut fabric piece is attached, per FIG. 2, to the clamping sled ( 10 ) with the face down ( 11 ) (so that the face of the fabric on the sled is pulled across the face of the fabric on the sample plate) which corresponds to friction sled cut ( 7 ) of FIG. 1. Referring to FIG. 2, the loops of the fabric on the sled ( 12 ) are oriented such that when the sled ( 10 ) is pulled, the fabric ( 11 ) is pulled against the nap of the loops ( 12 ) of the test fabric cloth (see FIG. 2). The fabric from which the sled sample is cut is attached to the sample table such that the sled drags over the area labeled “Friction Drag Area” ( 8 ) as seen in FIG. 1. The loop orientation ( 13 ) is such that when the sled is pulled over the fabric it is pulled against the loops ( 13 ) (see FIG. 2). Direction arrow ( 14 ) indicates direction of sled ( 10 ) movement. 
     The sled is placed on the fabric and attached to the load cell. The crosshead is moved until the load cell registers between ˜1.0-2.0 gf, and is then moved back until the load reads 0.0 gf. At this point the sled drag is commenced and the Kinetic Coefficient of Friction (kCOF) recorded at least every second during the sled drag. The kinetic coefficient of friction is averaged over the time frame starting at 10 seconds and ending at 20 seconds for the sled speed set at 20.0 cm/min. For each treatment, at least ten replicate fabrics are measured. 
     Example 12: Perfume Release Headspace Over Fabric Measurement Method 
     Fabrics were treated with compositions of the current invention using the Fabric Preparation method described within. The perfume release over fabric data was generated using standard dynamic purge and trap analysis of fabric headspace with gas chromatography (GC) and detector to measure perfume headspace levels. The headspace analysis was performed on wet and dry fabric and total perfume counts were normalized to one of the test legs to show the relative benefit of compositions of the present invention. For example, a wet fabric perfume headspace (normalized to 1.0) shows that Leg C has 50% more perfume headspace above the wet fabric than Leg A. 
     GC—Detector Analysis of Fabric Samples for Perfume Release: A total of 3 pieces of treated fabric 1″×2″ in size are placed into 3 clean 40 ml bottles (for a total of 9 fabrics) and allowed to equilibrate for about 1 hour. The fabric pieces are cut from different fabrics within each load to account for fabric-to-fabric variability. Instrument conditions should be modified to achieve adequate PRM signal detection while avoiding peak saturation. A DB 5 column was used with 20 sec sample collection with a ramp of 40-180° C. at 5-10 deg/sec and a detector temperature of 35° C. 
     Olfactive Panel—The Olfactive Panel is run with about 20 qualified panelists. Each panelist is given fabrics treated with compositions of the current invention to grade. A Panel typically consists of 4 to 6 treatments, which are randomized. Each panelist grades the fabric treatments for intensity (scale 0-100) based on the anchors that are prepared to provide intensities representing 20, 50, and 80 on a scale of 0-100). On the scale, 0 refers to a fabric with no scent intensity and 100 to a fabric with extremely strong/over-powering scent intensity. Panelists sniff fabrics and record an intensity grade for the Dry Fabric Odor (DFO). Optionally, panelists can sniff and grade fabrics after rubbing the dry fabric to give grades for Rubbed Fabric Odor (RFO). Optionally, panelists can evaluate other touch points such as wet fabric odor (WFO). 
     Example 13 
     Fabrics were treated with compositions of the current invention using the Fabric Preparation method described within. The softness of the fabrics on a 1-10 scale were then evaluated by at least 20 panelists. The results are show below in Tables 3, 4 and 5.
