Title: Copolymer having carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, and composition, cosmetic ingredient, coating forming agent, and cosmetic containing same

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, where the amount of monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure is significantly reduced, and to a composition, cosmetic raw material, film-forming agent, and a cosmetic material containing the same, and further relates to a method of manufacturing the copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and a copolymer composition. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     It is conventionally known that a copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having excellent film-forming properties is used in cosmetic materials in order to improve the cosmetic retainability of the cosmetic material, water resistance, sebum resistance, and the like (for example, Patent Document 1 and the like). These copolymers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure are formed by a radical copolymerization reaction of an unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and another unsaturated monomer. 
     On the other hand, in recent years, in addition to improving the durability of cosmetic materials described above, there is demand for cosmetic materials that are hypoallergenic with regard to skin and hair. However, there is concern about the irritating properties of radically polymerizable unsaturated monomers, and there is a demand for a copolymer and copolymer composition with a small amount of unreacted monomers. However, unsaturated monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure or saturated monomers derived therefrom are monomers referred to as so-called macromonomers having a relatively high molecular weight, and have a problem of being generally difficult to remove from a copolymer or a composition thereof by distillation. 
     For example, Patent Document 1 described above includes a purifying method of re-precipitating the obtained copolymer with methanol, and then drying the obtained solid. However, a large amount of methanol was required, and it was difficult to re-disperse or dissolve the extracted solid in a cosmetic oil agent, which is not suitable for actual production of a liquid composition. Furthermore, the methanol used in the purification is irritative and toxic, and residue thereof is a concern. In addition, when a polar functional group such as a carboxylic acid modified group or the like is introduced to a copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, the molecule becomes polar, methanol becomes an inferior solvent, and it is necessary to change to another solvent. For example, with ethanol and the like, the obtained copolymer and the unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure both dissolve, and therefore, problems occur where reprecipitation is not possible, and the like. 
     Furthermore, with a focus on reducing the odor of unsaturated monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and other unsaturated monomers remaining in the system, Patent Document 2 proposes converting remaining saturated monomers into corresponding esters (saturated monomers) by a hydrogenation reaction to reduce odors. However, there is a problem where the same amount of hydrogenated unreacted monomers (saturated monomers) derived from the unsaturated monomer having the carbosiloxane dendrimer structure remains in the copolymer, and thus it is difficult to achieve the object of reducing monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure. Furthermore, there is a problem where the hydrogenation reaction itself requires a special device, and thus large scale production cannot be easily performed.

     SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     Problem to be Solved by the Invention 
     In view of the foregoing problems and technical conditions, an object of the present invention is to provide: a copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having excellent hypoallergenicity and safety and having high purity by significantly reducing the amount of a monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure; and a composition, a cosmetic raw material, a film-forming agent, and a cosmetic material containing the copolymer. Furthermore, an object is to provide a method of manufacturing the copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and a copolymer composition, which can be easily implemented on an industrial production scale. 
     Means for Solving the Problem 
     As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors discovered that the amount of monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure can be significantly reduced by introducing a polymerization initiator in two stages by providing a difference in introduction times in a radical copolymerization reaction between an unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and another unsaturated monomer, optionally adding another additional unsaturated monomer, advancing a reaction for the unreacted unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, and then after this step, distilling off unreacted unsaturated monomers or saturated monomers remaining in the system, thereby completing the present invention. The copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure of the present invention is characterized in that the amount of monomers (unsaturated monomers and saturated monomers) having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, which are normally difficult to remove, is significantly lower. 
     In other words, a first aspect of the present invention is a copolymer of (a1) an unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having a radically polymerizable organic group, and (a2) an unsaturated monomer having a radically polymerizable vinyl group, which is different from component (a1), where the amount of unreacted unsaturated monomers (a1) and saturated monomers derived from the unreacted unsaturated monomers (a1) is 2500 ppm or less relative to the copolymer. Herein, the mass % of the aforementioned component (a1) is preferably 20 mass % or more relative to the total mass of components (a1) and (a2) configuring the copolymer. 
     A second aspect of the present invention is a copolymer composition containing the aforementioned copolymer and one or more types of (C) alcohols and/or (D) oil agents. 
     A third aspect of the present invention is a cosmetic raw material, film-forming agent, and cosmetic material containing the aforementioned copolymer or a composition thereof. 
     A fourth aspect of the present invention is a method of manufacturing the aforementioned copolymer, including: 
     a step of adding a polymerization initiator to (a1) the unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having a radically polymerizable organic group, and (a2) the unsaturated monomer having a radically polymerizable vinyl group, which is different from component (a1) to perform a radical polymerization reaction; and step (I): a step (Ia) of further adding the same or different polymerization initiator than the initially added polymerization initiator at least two hours after adding the initial polymerization initiator for the radical polymerization reaction. 
     The manufacturing method may optionally include: 
     a step (Ib) of adding a monomer (a2′) having a radically polymerizable vinyl group with a boiling point less than 160° C. at ambient pressure (1 atm) to advance the radical polymerization reaction of unreacted component (a1), in step (I); and step (II): a step of distilling off unreacted unsaturated monomers or saturated monomers remaining in the system at ambient pressure or under reduced pressure after step (I). 
     The manufacturing method may further include step (III): a step of performing a hydrogenation reaction on an unreacted unsaturated monomer remaining in the system to convert the unsaturated monomer into a saturated monomer, and in order to obtain the aforementioned copolymer composition, step (IV): a step of adding one or more types of (C) alcohols and/or (D) oil agents to the system to distill off a reaction solvent for a radical polymerization reaction. 
     Effects of the Invention 
     The present invention can provide: a copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having excellent hypoallergenicity and safety and having high purity; and a composition, cosmetic raw material, film-forming agent, and cosmetic material containing the same. Furthermore, the present invention can provide a method of manufacturing the copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure and a copolymer composition, which can be easily implemented on an industrial production scale.

Similarly, “(meth) acrylate”, “(meth)acryloxy”, and “(meth)acrylamide” also indicate that both acrylate and methacrylate, acryloxy and methacryloxy, and acrylamide and methacrylamide, respectively, are included. In the present specification, “cosmetic material” and “cosmetic product” are used interchangeably.

For example, if the total number of hierarchies i is 1 and L i+1  is, for example, a methyl group, then the carbosiloxane dendrimer structure refers to the following structure.

     (Where Z and R 2  are the same as described above) 
     The unsaturated group of component (a1) is not limited so long as a radically polymerizable unsaturated group is provided, and examples include vinyl groups, allyl groups, (meth)acrylic groups, and the like. In particular, component (a1) is preferably an acrylic acid ester-based monomer or a methacrylic acid ester-based monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure described above. Of these, a particularly preferable unsaturated monomer is an unsaturated monomer where an unsaturated group as expressed by the following structures is bonded to a silicon atom (Si) directly or through —(Z)p- or —Z— in the carbosiloxane dendrimer structure described above. 
     An organic group containing an acrylic group or methacrylic group as expressed by

     A more specific example of this component includes an unsaturated monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure as expressed by the following average composition formula. 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     Polymerization of the unsaturated monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure can be manufactured in accordance with manufacturing methods disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application H11-1530, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application 2000-63225, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application 2001-192424, Japanese Unexamined Patent Application 2014-40512, and the like. 
     Component (A2) containing the copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure of the present invention is an unsaturated monomer different from component (A1), and may be a monomer having a radical polymerizable vinyl group. The type and the like thereof is not particularly limited. More specifically, the vinyl-based monomer does not have a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a molecule. 
     Examples of the vinyl-based monomer include monomers that are starting materials of organic resins, which are generally called vinyl-based resins. Specific examples include: lower alkyl (meth)acrylates such as methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, n-propyl (meth)acrylate, and isopropyl (meth)acrylate; glycidyl (meth)acrylate; higher (meth)acrylates such as n-butyl (meth)acrylate, isobutyl (meth)acrylate, tert-butyl (meth)acrylate, n-hexyl (meth)acrylate, cyclohexyl (meth)acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth)acrylate, octyl (meth)acrylate, lauryl (meth)acrylate, and stearyl (meth)acrylate; lower fatty acid vinyl esters such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate; higher fatty acid esters such as vinyl butyrate, vinyl caproate, vinyl 2-ethylhexanoate, vinyl laurate, and vinyl stearate; aromatic vinyl-based monomers such styrene, vinyl toluene, benzyl (meth)acrylate, phenoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, and vinyl pyrrolidone; vinyl-based monomers containing an amide group such as (meth)acrylamide, N-methylol (meth)acrylamide, N-methoxymethyl (meth)acrylamide, isobutoxymethoxy (meth)acrylamide, and N,N-dimethyl (meth)acrylamide; vinyl-type monomers containing a hydroxy group such as 2-hydroxyethyl (meth)acrylate, 2-hydroxybutyl (meth)acrylate, and 2-hydroxypropyl (meth)acrylate: fluorine-containing vinyl-type monomers such as trifluoropropyl (meth)acrylate, perfluorobutylethyl (meth)acrylate, and perfluorooctylethyl (meth)acrylate; vinyl-type monomers containing an epoxy group such as glycidyl (meth)acrylate and 3,4 epoxycyclohexylmethyl (meth)acrylate; carboxylic acid-containing vinyl-type monomers such as (meth)acrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid; ether bond-containing vinyl-based monomers such as tetrahydrofurfuryl (meth)acrylate, butoxyethyl (meth)acrylate, ethoxydiethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol (meth)acrylate, polypropylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate, hydroxybutyl vinyl ether, cetyl vinyl ether, and 2-ethylhexyl vinyl ether; silicone compounds containing an unsaturated group such as (meth)acryloxypropyl trimethoxysilane, (branched or linear) polydimethyl siloxane containing a (meth)acrylic group at one end, and a polydimethyl siloxane containing a styryl group at one end; butadiene; vinyl chloride; vinylidene chloride; (meth)acrylonitrile; dibutyl fumarate; maleic anhydride; dodecyl succinic anhydride; (meth)acrylic glycidyl ether; alkali metal salts, ammonium salts, organic amine salts of radically polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acids such as (meth)acrylic acid, itaconic acid, crotonic acid, fumaric acid, and maleic acid; radical polymerizable unsaturated monomers having sulfonic acid groups such as styrene sulfonic acid, and their alkali metal salts, ammonium salts, organic amine salts; quaternary ammonium salts derived from (meth)acrylic acids, such as 2-hydroxy-3-methacryloxypropyl trimethylammonium chloride, methacrylates of alcohols with tertiary amine groups, such as diethylamine methacrylates, and quaternary ammonium salts thereof. 
     Furthermore, a polyfunctional vinyl-based monomer can be used, and examples thereof include trimethylolpropane tri(meth)acrylate, pentaerythritol tri(meth)acrylate, ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, tetraethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, polyethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, 1,4-butanediol di(meth)acrylate, 1,6-hexanediol di(meth)acrylate, neopentyl glycol di(meth)acrylate, trimethylolpropane trioxyethyl (meth)acrylate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate di(meth)acrylate, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate tri(meth)acrylate, monomers containing a (meth)acryloyl group such as di(meth)acrylate of diol, ethylene oxide of bisphenol A or adduct of propylene oxide, di(meth)acrylate of diol, ethylene oxide of hydrogenated bisphenol A or adduct of propylene oxide, and triethylene glycol divinyl ether, silicone compounds containing an unsaturated group such as polydimethylsiloxanes blocked at both ends by a styryl group and polydimethylsiloxanes blocked at both ends by a methacryloxypropyl, and the like. 
     Furthermore, an organic silicon compound having a vinyl-based radical polymerizable unsaturated group and a hydrolyzable group can also be used. In this case, the film strength becomes hard and water repellency durability is improved, which is preferable. Here, examples of the radically polymerizable group include a (meth)acryloxy group-containing organic group, a (meth)acrylamide group-containing organic group, and a styryl group-containing organic group, as represented by the following general formulas, or an alkenyl group having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and a vinyloxy group and an allyloxy group. 
     Similarly, an unsaturated monomer having at least one acidic group or a salt thereof in a molecule can also be used. The unsaturated monomer having at least one acidic group or a salt thereof in a molecule is a compound having a radically polymerizable vinyl group and at least one acidic group or a salt thereof in a molecule. Examples of the acidic group include carboxylic acids, sulfonic acids, and phosphonic acids. Examples of salts thereof include alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, basic amino acid salts, ammonium salts, alkyl ammonium salts, alkyl amine salts, and alkanolamine salts, and specific examples include sodium salt, potassium salt, magnesium salt, calcium salt, L-arginine salt, L-histidine salt, L-lysine salt, ammonium salt, triethanolamine salt, aminomethyl propanediol salt, and complex salts thereof. Compounds having these acidic groups undergo a change in the hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of the compound by releasing protons (H + ) in an aqueous solution at respectively specific pH values or bonding with cationic components in the liquid to form a salt. Compounds with salts of acidic groups similarly undergo dissociation of the salt at a specific pH, and exhibit a change in the hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties of the compound. Therefore, by appropriately adding a compound having these acidic groups or salts thereof into a cosmetic material, an effect is achieved where washing away during cleaning is easy, even while also exhibiting favorable cosmetic retainability. 
     Similarly, for the purpose of improving water repellency or the like of the copolymer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in the present invention, an unsaturated monomer containing an organic group containing fluorine such as a perfluoroalkyl group and the like can also be used. An example is a vinyl-based monomer such as an acrylic monomer, a methacrylic monomer, or the like having an organic group containing fluorine such as a perfluoroalkyl group or the like. 
     The copolymer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in the present invention is obtained by the copolymerizing of the aforementioned component (a1) and component (a2), and the mass ratio at the time of the copolymerization is preferably within a range of (a1):(a2)=10:90 to 90:10, more preferably 20:80 to 85:15, and even more preferably 30:70 to 60:40. In particular, the mass % of the component (a1) described above is at least 20 mass %, and preferably at least 30 mass % relative to the total mass of component (a1) and component (a2), and component (a1) is particularly preferably 20 mass % to 60 mass % of total monomer units. 
     A step may be provided for the copolymer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure according to the present invention in which a polymerization reaction is performed by adding a polymerization initiator to a raw material composition containing the monomer. Thereafter, a step may be provided in which the optionally obtained polymerization reaction product is contacted with a nickel catalyst or a palladium catalyst to perform a hydrogenation reaction. 
     As the polymerization method used in the polymerization reaction, a radical polymerization method or an ionic polymerization method is used, but a radical polymerization method is preferable. With regard to this radical polymerization method, a solution polymerization method is preferably used. The solution polymerization is performed by reacting the monomer composition containing component (a1) and component (a2) in a solvent at a temperature of 50 to 150° C. for 3 to 20 hours in the presence of a radical initiator. Examples of the solvent used in the polymerization reaction include aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, octane, decane, and cyclohexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as benzene, toluene, and xylene; ethers such as diethyl ether, dibutyl ether, tetrahydrofuran, and dioxane; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, and diisobutyl ketone; esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and isobutyl acetate; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and butanol; and organosiloxane oligomers such as octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane, decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, hexamethyldisiloxane, and octamethyltrisiloxane. One of these solvents may be used alone, or two or more types thereof may be used in a mixture. 
     Conventionally known compounds commonly used in radical polymerization methods are used as the radical initiator, and specific examples include azobis-based compounds such as 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile), 2,2′-azobis(2-methylbutyronitrile), and 2,2′-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile); and organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, lauroyl peroxide, tert-butylperoxy benzoate, tert-butylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate, and tert-hexylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate. One type of this radical initiator may be used alone, or two or more types may be mixed and used. The usage amount of the radical initiator is preferably in the range of from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per a total of 100 parts by weight of the monomer composition. 
     In addition, a chain transfer agent can be added during polymerization. Specific examples of the chain transfer agent include mercapto compounds such as 2-mercaptoethanol, butyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan, 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane, and polydimethylsiloxanes having a mercaptopropyl group; and halides such as methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, butyl bromide, and 3-chloropropyl trimethoxysilane. 
     The polymerization reaction product can be contacted with a nickel catalyst or palladium catalyst, which are hydrogenation reaction catalysts. By being contacted with these catalysts, the vinyl groups of unreacted monomers remaining in the polymerization reaction product are saturated, and irritation and odor when added to the cosmetic material can be reduced. Nickel catalysts include, but are not necessarily limited to, nickel/diatomaceous earth and raney nickel catalysts. Examples of palladium catalysts include palladium compounds such as tetrakis (triphenylphosphine)palladium (0) and dichlorobis (triphenylphosphine)palladium (II); carbon-supported palladium, carbon-supported palladium hydroxide, and platinum oxide, but the palladium catalyst is not necessarily limited to these. 
     The temperature when contacting the polymerization reaction product with the nickel catalyst or palladium catalyst is 50 to 200° C., and preferably 70 to 130° C. The pressure is from 1 to 1000 kg/cm 2  (absolute pressure), and preferably from 2 to 100 kg/cm 2 . The contact time is from 1 to 15 hours, and preferably from 3 to 10 hours. The reaction can be performed in a solvent, and the solvent that is used during polymerization may be used as is, or the solvent may be substituted. The solvents that can be used are the same as those described for the polymerization reaction. 
     [Amount of Monomer Having Carbosiloxane Dendrimer Structure and Significance Thereof] 
     A copolymer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure according to the present invention is characterized in that the amount of the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) and the saturated monomer derived from the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) is 2500 ppm or less with regard to the copolymer. Preferably, the amount of the monomers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure is 2,400 ppm or less. When the manufacturing method described below is used, a copolymer with an amount reduced to 2,000 ppm or less, or 1,500 ppm or less, can also be manufactured as necessary. Thus, a copolymer having an extremely low amount of monomers containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure can be obtained as a cosmetic raw material. 
     An object of the present invention is to provide a copolymer with a reduced amount of monomers containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure (unsaturated monomers and saturated monomers which are hydrogenated products thereof) having properties which are of concern for irritation and which are difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means. However, when the amount of unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) and saturated monomer derived from the unreacted unsaturated monomers (a1) is reduced to less than the aforementioned reduction, the amount of the copolymer used in a general composition as a cosmetic raw material or a film-forming agent is approximately 4 mass % of the entire cosmetic material, and when it is arranged in a cosmetic material (including a topical agent and a quasi-pharmaceutical product), the amount of the monomer in the final composition or formulation is 100 ppm or less. Thus the effects thereof are practically negligible level. Note that the amount of the monomer in the copolymer can be reduced by a method described below, and even if the amount of the monomer is reduced, the function of the copolymer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure as a cosmetic raw material or film-forming agent is not impaired. 
     The amount of the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) and the saturated monomer derived from the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) in the copolymer described above can be confirmed by means such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or the like, and can be calculated based on the peak intensity thereof. Furthermore, even for a copolymer composition, cosmetic raw material, or film-forming agent in which the copolymer is dispersed in an (D) organic solvent or the like, the amount of the monomer in a copolymer portion, excluding the copolymer alone or dispersant thereof, can be easily calculated. Furthermore, the amount of the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) and the saturated monomer derived from the unreacted unsaturated monomer (a1) in the final cosmetic material can also be specified with relatively high precision by a similar method, and the cosmetic material containing the copolymer according to the present invention in which the amount of the monomer is 100 ppm or less relative to the entire cosmetic material is included in preferred aspect of the present invention. 
     For example, when the copolymer in which the aforementioned specified unreacted monomer is reduced and is blended in the cosmetic material, the blending amount thereof is not particularly limited, but blending is possible within a range of 0.1 to 4 mass %, and preferably 1 to 4 weight % as the mass of the copolymer of the present invention alone, not including a solvent or the like. In particular, when blended in the range, it is possible to provide a cosmetic material which can impart functions such as film-forming properties and the like to the cosmetic material, which contains 100 ppm or less of a monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, having properties which are of concern for irritation and which is difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means, and which does not essentially contain the monomer. 
     Similarly, for a copolymer composition, cosmetic raw material, or film-forming agent in which the copolymer where the aforementioned specified unreacted monomer is reduced and dispersed in an (D) organic solvent and the like described below, and in which the amount of the copolymer is 40 mass %, it is possible to provide a copolymer composition, cosmetic raw material, or film-forming agent which can impart functions such as film-forming properties and the like to the cosmetic material, which contains 1000 ppm or less of a monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, having properties which are of concern for irritation and which is difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means, and which does not essentially contain the monomer. 
     The copolymer of the present invention can be blended into a cosmetic material or the like as is, or in the form of a composition such as being dissolved in a solvent, dispersed in a dispersing medium, or the like. Although these solvents and dispersants are not particularly limited, examples include (C) alcohols and (D) oil agents. In particular, a form of a copolymer composition containing a dispersant selected from one or more types of (C) alcohols and (D) oil agents is particularly preferred for practical use as a cosmetic raw material or film-forming agent. 
     [Copolymer Composition] 
     In other words, the copolymer composition of the present invention is a composition containing a copolymer in which the specific unreacted monomer described above is reduced and one or more types selected from (C) alcohols and (D) oil agents is contained. When the copolymer, which is the first invention of the present invention, is compounded into a cosmetic material, the resulting form can be a solution with the copolymer dissolved in a solvent, a dispersion liquid with the copolymer dispersed in a dispersion medium, or a solid such as a powder, granules, or blocks. In particular, the copolymer according to the present invention is preferably dissolved or dispersed in one or more types of (C) alcohols or (D) oil agents and compounded in a cosmetic material in the form of a copolymer composition containing the copolymer and these dispersing media. 
     The copolymer of the present invention excels in miscibility with and dispersibility in various oil agents, and a polymer composition that remains homogeneous over an extended period of time can be obtained. Such a composition can be added as is into a cosmetic material, and is extremely useful as a cosmetic raw material or film-forming agent from the perspective of handling properties and storage stability thereof. Specifically, a copolymer composition can be preferably used, which contains 5 to 1000 parts by mass, preferably 50 to 500 parts by mass, and more preferably 100 to 400 parts by mass of at least one type of oil agent, with regard to 100 parts by mass of the copolymer of the present invention. Note that when a copolymer composition containing a copolymer and an oil agent is obtained, a copolymer from which a solvent and unreacted monomers are removed after the polymerization reaction may be homogeneously dispersed in an oil agent using mechanical force, and the volatile solvent during the polymerization reaction may be substituted with the abovementioned oil agent, which is particularly preferable. Note that as described above, for a copolymer composition containing (C) alcohols and/or (D) oil agents as dispersing media and having a copolymer amount of 40 mass %, it is possible to provide or design a composition in which the monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure is 1000 ppm or less.

     The copolymer according to the present invention may be used by dispersing or dissolving in an alcohol, and a specified affinity with alcohols, which are a general purpose component of a cosmetic material, and therefore, the copolymer of the present invention can also be coexisting as a compounding formulation for a cosmetic material. As the alcohols, one or more polyhydric alcohols and/or lower monohydric alcohols can be used. Examples of the lower alcohols include ethanol, isopropanol, n-propanol, t-butanol, and sec-butanol, and ethanol is preferable.

Other examples in addition to these low molecular weight polyhydric alcohols include polyhydric alcohol polymers such as diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, diglycerin, polyethylene glycol, triglycerin, tetraglycerin, and polyglycerin. Of these, ethanol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butylene glycol, sorbitol, dipropylene glycol, glycerin, and polyethylene glycol are particularly preferable. Of these alcohols, isopropanol and the like can also be used as the aforementioned reaction solvent, and therefore, a polymerization reaction composition containing these alcohols may be used as is as a copolymer composition.

     The silicone resin is an organopolysiloxane having a highly branched structure, a net-like structure, or a cage-like structure, and is in a liquid state or a solid state at room temperature, and may be any silicone resin commonly used in cosmetic materials as long as the silicone resin does not contradict the object of the present invention. Examples of solid silicone resins include MQ resin, MDQ resin, MTQ resin, MDTQ resin, TD resin, TQ resin, and TDQ resin made from optional combinations of triorganosiloxy units (M unit) (organo groups are methyl groups only, or are methyl groups and vinyl groups or phenyl groups), diorganosiloxy units (D unit) (organo groups are methyl groups only, or are methyl groups and vinyl groups or phenyl groups), monoorganosiloxy units (T unit) (organo groups are methyl groups, vinyl groups, or phenyl groups), and siloxy units (Q unit).

It is particularly preferable that these silicone resins are oil-soluble and can be dissolved in D4 and D5. 
     The silicone resin forms a uniform film when applied to skin, hair, or the like, and provides a protective effect against drying and low temperature. Furthermore, the silicone resin having these branching units tightly adheres to the skin, hair, and the like, and can impart luster and a transparent feel to skin, hair, and the like. 
     (J) Silicone Gum 
     In the present invention, ultra-high viscosity organopolysiloxanes, referred to as silicone gums, having a viscosity of greater than or equal to 1,000,000 mm 2 /s can also be used as silicone oils. Silicone gum is a linear diorganopolysiloxane with an ultra-high degree of polymerization, and is also referred to as a raw silicone gum or an organopolysiloxane gum. Silicone gums have a measurable degree of plasticity due to their high degree of polymerization, and are thereby distinguished from the oily silicones described above. 
     Examples of such raw silicone rubbers include substituted or unsubstituted organopolysiloxanes having dialkylsiloxy units (D unit) such as dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, aminopolysiloxane, methylfluoroalkylpolysiloxane, and those having microcrosslinking structures thereof, and a representative example thereof is represented by the general formula: R 10 (CH 3 ) 2 SiO{(CH 3 ) 2 SiO) s {(CH 3 )R 11 SiO} t Si(CH 3 ) 2 R 10  (wherein R 11  represents a vinyl group, a phenyl group, an alkyl having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aminoalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a perfluoroalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a quaternary ammonium salt group-containing alkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, and the end group R 10  is a group selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a vinyl group, an aminoalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group and an alkoxy group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and s=2,000 to 6,000, t=0 to 1,000, s+t=2,000 to 6,000). Among these, dimethylpolysiloxane raw rubbers having a degree of polymerization of 3000 to 20,000 are preferable. These silicone gums can be compounded as is, or as a liquid gum dispersion (oil dispersion of silicone gum) with the silicone gum dispersed in an oily silicone, into the cosmetic material according to the present invention. 
     Examples of such raw silicone rubbers include substituted or unsubstituted organopolysiloxanes having dialkylsiloxy units (D unit) such as dimethylpolysiloxane, methylphenylpolysiloxane, aminopolysiloxane, methylfluoroalkylpolysiloxane, and those having microcrosslinking structures thereof, and a representative example thereof is represented by the general formula: R 10 (CH 3 ) 2 SiO{(CH 3 ) 2 SiO) s {(CH 3 )R 12 SiO} t Si(CH 3 ) 2 R 10  (wherein R 12  represents a vinyl group, a phenyl group, an alkyl having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an aminoalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a perfluoroalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a quaternary ammonium salt group-containing alkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, and the end group R 10  is a group selected from an alkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, a phenyl group, a vinyl group, an aminoalkyl group having 3 to 15 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group and an alkoxy group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and s=2,000 to 6,000, t=0 to 1,000, s+t=2,000 to 6,000). Among these, dimethylpolysiloxane raw rubbers having a degree of polymerization of 3000 to 20,000 are preferable. Furthermore, an amino-modified methylpolysiloxane raw rubber having a 3-aminopropyl group, an N-(2-aminoethyl) 3-aminopropyl group, or the like in a side chain or at an end of the molecule is preferable. Additionally, in the present invention, one type or a combination of two or more types of silicone gums can be used as necessary. 
     Silicone gums have an ultra-high degree of polymerization, and therefore form a protective film having excellent residual properties on skin and hair and excellent air permeability. Thus, silicone gum is a component that can impart luster and gloss to particularly skin and hair, and can impart tension and a resilient texture to the entire skin and hair both during and after use. 
     The compounded amount of the silicone gum is, for example, in a range of from 0.05 to 30 wt. % (mass %), and preferably from 1 to 15 wt. % (mass %), of the total cosmetic material. Note that the silicone gum is easy to compound if used as an emulsion composition prepared through a pre-emulsification step (also including emulsion polymerization), and can be stably compounded in the cosmetic material of the present invention. If the compounded amount of the silicone gum is less than the abovementioned lower limit, the effect of imparting gloss to the skin and hair may be insufficient. 
     (K) Silicone Elastomer 
     The silicone elastomer can be compounded into the cosmetic material in any form in accordance with the purpose thereof, but in particular, in addition to the silicone elastomer powder described in the aforementioned “(E) Powder”, compounding the silicone elastomer as a crosslinkable organopolysiloxane is preferable. The silicone elastomer powder can be used in the cosmetic material of the present invention even in the form of an aqueous dispersion liquid. Examples of commercially available products of such an aqueous dispersion liquid include BY 29-129 and PF-2001 PIF Emulsion, available from Dow Corning Toray Co., Ltd. By compounding these silicone elastomer powders in the form of a water-based dispersion (=suspension), the usage feel of the cosmetic material of the present invention can be further improved, and thus such silicone elastomer powders are extremely useful. 
     As the crosslinkable organopolysiloxane, a non-emulsifying organopolysiloxane having a structure in which an organopolysiloxane chain is three-dimensionally crosslinked by reaction with a crosslinkable component or the like, and not having a hydrophilic part such as a polyoxyalkylene unit is preferable. Such crosslinkable organopolysiloxanes can be used without limitation irrespective of physical morphologies such as dilutions and properties, and of the preparation method, etc., and α,ω-diene crosslinked silicone elastomers described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,654,362 (commercially available products include DC 9040 Silicone Elastomer Blend, DC 9041 Silicone Elastomer Blend, DC 9045 Silicone Elastomer Blend, and DC 9046 Silicone Elastomer Blend, available from Dow Corning Corporation, USA) are particularly preferred. Furthermore, a crosslinkable organopolysiloxane having fluidity at room temperature can also be suitably used, and an example thereof includes 3901 LIQUID SATIN BLEND (available from Dow Corning Corporation, USA).

When the cosmetic material of the present invention is used as a hair cosmetic material, amino modified silicones, carbinol modified silicones, aminopolyether modified silicones or aminoglycol modified silicones can be suitably used, and general examples include amino modified silicones having a 3-aminopropyl group, an N-(2-aminoethyl)3-aminopropyl group or the like. 
     Hereinafter, higher alkyl-modified silicones, alkyl-modified silicone resins, and polyamide-modified silicone resins that are particularly preferable as organo-modified silicones are described. The higher alkyl modified silicone is a component that is waxy at room temperature and is useful as a cosmetic raw material. Therefore, a higher alkyl modified silicone can be suitably used in the cosmetic material of the present invention. Examples of such higher alkyl-modified silicone waxes include methyl long-chain alkyl polysiloxanes capped at both ends of the molecular chain with trimethylsiloxy groups, dimethyl polysiloxane/methyl long-chain alkyl siloxane copolymers capped at both ends of the molecular chain with trimethylsiloxy groups, and long-chain alkyl-modified dimethyl polysiloxane at both ends of the molecular chain. Commercially available products of these include AMS-C30 Cosmetic Wax and 2503 Cosmetic Wax (available from Dow Corning Corporation, USA). 
     In the cosmetic material of the present invention, the higher alkyl modified silicone wax preferably has a melting point of 60° C. or higher from the perspective of cosmetic retainability and high temperature stability. 
     The alkyl-modified silicone resin is a component that imparts sebum durability, moisture retention, and a smooth tactile sensation to a cosmetic material, and can be suitably used in a waxy form at room temperature. As the alkyl-modified silicone resin, for example, a silsesquioxane resin wax described in JP 2007-532754 T is preferable. Examples of commercially available products of alkyl-modified silicone resins include SW-8005 C30 RESIN WAX (available from Dow Corning Corporation, USA).

The cosmetic material is also applied to the skin, nails, hair, and the like of the human body, but are used for cosmetic purposes. Even if the application is a “topical agent”, use in reality is possible in the same dosage and administration as a cosmetic material. Therefore, in the cosmetic material in the present application, such topical agents are also described as being included as cosmetic materials. Examples thereof include antiperspirants, skin cleaning agents, skin topical agents, hair cleaning agents, hair topical agents, and the like. Examples of applications as a drug of the topical agent include, but are not limited to, hair growing agents, hair tonics, analgesics, disinfectants, anti-inflammatory agents, refreshing agents, and skin anti-aging agents. 
     Film-Forming Properties, Effect on Feel on Hair 
     Since the cosmetic material according to the present invention contains the aforementioned copolymer, a film having excellent water repellency as well as excellent durability and sebum durability can be formed on skin or hair. In particular, the copolymer of the present invention has an extremely low amount of the monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, having properties which are of concern for irritation and which are difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means, is capable of forming on the skin or hair a film having excellent water resistance and sebum resistance, and can design a cosmetic material that provides these functional films without irritating properties. 
     The skin cosmetic materials can be used on any part of the scalp, face (including lips, eyebrows, and cheeks), fingers, nails, and entire body. More specific examples include skin cleansing agent products such as cleansing gels, cleansing creams, cleansing foams, facial cleansing creams, eye makeup removers, facial cleansing foams, liquid soaps (body soaps), hand soaps, gelatinous soaps, shaving creams, removers, and anti-acne cosmetics; skincare products such as skin creams, scalp treatments, skin milks, milk lotions, emulsions, facial packs, body powder, essences, shaving lotions, and massage lotions; makeup products such as foundations, liquid foundations, oily foundations, makeup bases, white powders, face powders, blushes, lip creams, rouge, lip gloss, eye-creams, mascara, eyebrow pencils, and eyelash cosmetic products; antiperspirants such as deodorants; and UV light blocking products such as sunscreens and sunburn medicinal agents (sun tanning agents).

The bath cosmetic products include a foam bath. 
     [Design and Guidelines for Cosmetic Formulations Containing the Copolymer of the Present Invention] 
     The copolymer according to the present invention has the same water repellency, washability, film-forming properties, and other properties as a known acrylic-silicone dendrimer copolymer, except that the amount of the monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, having properties which are of concern for irritation and which are difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means is extremely small. For this reason, for example, some or all of the vinyl-based polymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a side chain as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,009,382 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Application 2000-063225) and the like can be substituted in known formulations. In other words, with regard to a cosmetic formulation containing a vinyl-based polymer having a known carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a side chain, the present applicant clearly instructs herein to design or manufacture the cosmetic formulation by substituting the corresponding vinyl-based polymer with the copolymer of the present invention. 
     Similarly, the copolymer of the present invention may be used by substituting some or all in known formulations proposed for commercial products of vinyl-based polymers having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a side chain. Examples of commercial products include FA 4001 CM Silicone Acrylate, FA 4002 ID Silicone Acrylate and DOWSIL™ FA 4003 DM Silicone Acrylate, and the like manufactured by Dow Toray Co., Ltd. Cosmetic formulations using these products are known in a number of products, patents, formulation samples provided by DOW SILICONE CORPORATION, public information at IP.com, and the like, and the copolymer according to the present invention may be used to replace some or all of the vinyl-based polymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a side chain in the products without any restriction, which is preferred. 
     When the copolymer of the present invention replaces a vinyl-based polymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in a side chain in a known cosmetic formulation, there is a benefit where a corresponding material in the cosmetic formulation can be replaced by the copolymer, based on a normal compounding formulation of a person of ordinary skill in the art, and a benefit of being able to provide a cosmetic material in which the amount of the monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, having properties which are of concern for irritation and which are difficult to separate or remove from the copolymer by ordinary distilling means, is reduced or is essentially not included, using a known formulation and without impairing the performance and properties of the cosmetic material. 
     The copolymer according to the present invention can also be used in other applications and compounded into other products besides cosmetic materials, such as in various external preparations, paints, coating agents, antifoaming agents, and deodorants. 
     &lt;Film-Forming Agent&gt; 
     The copolymer film-forming agent according to the present invention can be used in applications other than cosmetic materials. In other words, the film can be used in any field so long as the application requires a water repellency effect, oil repellency effect, integrity, strength and scratch resistance on a film. In particular, use is possible as an agent for imparting water repellent effects to paint compositions and fibers, and as an agent for treating inorganic and organic materials. Furthermore, the film-forming agent of the present invention can be, if necessary, used in an aqueous environment, and therefore is easy to handle. 
     Specifically, the film-forming agent of the present invention has excellent compounding stability and does not impair film-forming properties and usability, and is therefore preferable for use as a film-forming agent for industrial applications in textile treatment agents or fabric and textile treatment agents. 
     [Method of Manufacturing the Copolymer According to the Present Invention] 
     As described above, the monomer containing a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure, which is a raw material for the copolymer according to the present invention, has properties where separation or removal is difficult from the copolymer by ordinary distillation means. However, with the method of manufacturing the copolymer according to the present invention, the monomer can be reduced to 2500 ppm or less for the copolymer. Furthermore, the manufacturing method having the following step (I) can reduce the reaction time required for the radical polymerization reaction and thus improve industrial production efficiency. 
     A method of manufacturing the copolymer according to the present invention, includes: 
     a step of adding a polymerization initiator to (a1) the unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having a radically polymerizable organic group, and (a2) the unsaturated monomer having a radically polymerizable vinyl group, which is different from component (a1)
 
to perform a radical polymerization reaction; and
 
step (I): a step (Ia) of further adding the same or different polymerization initiator than the initially added polymerization initiator at least two hours after adding the initial polymerization initiator for the radical polymerization reaction.
 
     The manufacturing method may and preferably includes: a step (Ib) of adding a monomer (a2′) having a radically polymerizable vinyl group with a boiling point less than 160° C. at ambient pressure (1 atm) to advance the radical polymerization reaction of unreacted component (a1), optionally in step (I); and step (II): a step of distilling off unreacted unsaturated monomers or saturated monomers remaining in the system at ambient pressure or under reduced pressure after step (I). 
     Herein, component (a1), component (a2) and the polymerization initiator are as described above. Furthermore, a monomer (a2′) having a radically polymerizable vinyl group with a boiling point less than 160° C. at ambient pressure (1 atm) is not particularly limited so long as the properties are provided, and particularly preferred examples of component (a2) include methyl (meth)acrylate, ethyl (meth)acrylate, and the like, which have low boiling points and are easily distilled at reduced pressure. Furthermore, the radical polymerization reaction may be carried out in the reaction solvent described above, and the reaction solvent may and is preferably solvent-substituted by step (IV) described below. 
     Step (I) described above is a step required to improve the reaction efficiency of the unsaturated monomer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure having the radical polymerizable organic group (a1) to be reduced and to control the residual amount thereof, and is a step where, at least two hours after adding a first polymerization initiator in the radical polymerization reaction, a polymerization initiator that is the same as or different from the first added polymerization initiator is further added. By introducing an additional polymerization initiator into the reaction system at a time interval from initially adding the polymerization initiator, specifically at least two hours, and preferably two and a half hours or more later, the radical polymerization reaction of component (a1) which was not expended in the initial radical polymerization reaction proceeds, and the residual amount in the system is significantly reduced. Herein, the amount of the polymerization initiator to be further added is not particularly limited, but may be within a range of 0.5 to 5.0 equivalents, and particularly preferably within a range of 0.6 to 4.5 equivalents, relative to the initially added polymerization initiator. Furthermore, the reaction time required for the radical polymerization reaction can be reduced and the industrial production efficiency of the copolymer according to the present invention can be improved by adding an additional polymerization initiator at a time interval from initially adding the polymerization initiator. 
     Furthermore, the aforementioned step (I) may further optionally include a step (Ib) of adding a monomer (a2′) having a radically polymerizable vinyl group with a boiling point less than 160° C. at ambient pressure (1 atm) to advance the radical polymerization reaction of unreacted component (a1). By introducing an additional polymerization initiator and another reactive unsaturated monomer into the reaction system at a time interval from initially adding the polymerization initiator, the radical polymerization reaction of component (a1) which was not expended in the initial radical polymerization reaction proceeds along with the additional component (a2′), and the residual amount in the system is significantly reduced. Furthermore, component (a2′) has a low boiling point, and therefore can be easily distilled off at reduced pressure after reacting component (a1). 
     By the aforementioned step (I), the saturated monomer, which is component (a1) or a hydrogenated product thereof having properties of being difficult to separate and remove from the copolymer by means such as reduced pressure distillation or the like, is efficiently reacted and expended in advance, such that the residual amount thereof in the system is significantly reduced. 
     The manufacturing method of the present invention may further have step (II): a step of distilling off unreacted unsaturated monomers or saturated monomers remaining in the system at ambient pressure or under reduced pressure after step (I) described above. Note that the purpose of this step is to purify the unreacted monomer by removing a component with a low boiling point, and the amount of component (a1) has already been reduced in step (I), which is a preliminary step thereof. Distillation of the unreacted unsaturated monomer or saturated monomer under ambient pressure or reduced pressure in step (II) can be carried out without particular limitation using a known method such as stripping or the like. 
     Note that refluxing, reprecipitation, filtration, or other step may be performed during, before, or after a subsequent step after step (I). 
     The manufacturing method of the present invention may include, after the aforementioned step (I), and before or simultaneously with the step (II), a step (III): a step of performing a hydrogenation reaction on the unreacted unsaturated monomer remaining in the system to convert the unsaturated monomer into a saturated monomer. The step proceeds by contacting the polymerization reaction product of step (I) with the hydrogenation reaction catalyst (nickel catalyst or palladium catalyst) to form a saturated monomer, which is a hydrogenation reaction product of the unreacted component (a1) or the like, and to reduce the odor of the copolymer. Note that step (III) is a step of converting the unreacted component (a1) into a saturated monomer, and therefore, the amount of monomers derived from the unreacted component (a1) is not reduced in the aforementioned step (III). 
     The manufacturing method of the present invention preferably includes, at an arbitrary timing, and preferably before or simultaneously with the aforementioned step (II), step (IV): a step of adding one or more types of (C) alcohols and/or (D) oil agents as dispersants to the system and removing the reaction solvent for the radical polymerization reaction. With this step, a copolymer composition containing alcohols (C) and/or oil agents (D) having excellent blending stability and handling workability for use in cosmetic materials and the like can be obtained. The reaction solvent for the radical polymerization reaction can be removed without particular limitation by using a known method such as stripping or the like under ambient pressure or reduced pressure, as in step (II) described above, and can be replaced with one or more of alcohols (C) and/or oil agents (D) described above. Note that when the reaction solvent for the radical polymerization reaction is an alcohol (C), the radical polymerization reaction solution itself forms a copolymer composition containing alcohols (C), and thus can be used as is as a cosmetic raw material or film-forming agent, if desired.

     Hereinafter, the present invention is described in greater detail through examples; but the present invention is not limited thereto. 
     Each characteristic in the examples and the like was measured by the following methods.

     163 g of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) was inserted into a 1 liter four-neck flask equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, and a reflux tube. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas, and then sufficiently degassed and heated to 70° C. 110 g (55% by weight) of methyl methacrylate, 10 g (5% by weight) of n-butyl acrylate, 80 g (40% by weight) of a carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer as expressed by the following formula (A-1): 
     
       
         
         
             
             
         
       
     
     4.4 g (2.2% by weight) of methyl 2,2′-azobis-2-isobutyrate (V-601, manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and 107 g of IPA were introduced and dissolved in a dripping funnel.

After dripping was completed, heating and stirring were performed for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then a solution of 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) of V-601 dissolved in 30 g of IPA was added. After further stirring for 9 hours, a reaction product with a nonvolatile content of 40.8% was obtained. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 15,900. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 1,330 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Reference Example 1 
     163 g of IPA was inserted into a 1 liter four-neck flask equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, and a reflux tube.

In a nitrogen atmosphere, the monomer mixture was dripped through a dripping funnel over 1 hour while being maintained at 70° C. After dripping was completed, heating and stirring were performed for 8 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a reaction product with a nonvolatile content of 40.6%. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 23.600. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 30,750 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Reference Example 2 
     A reaction product was obtained by a similar operation except that the amount of V-601 in Reference Example 1 was changed to 4.4 g (2.2% by weight). Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 16,000. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 11,000 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Reference Example 3 
     A reaction product was obtained by a similar operation except that the amount of V-601 in Reference Example 1 was changed to 8.8 g (4.4% by weight). Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 12,600. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 2,250 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     [Summary 1] 
     The aforementioned results are summarized in Table 1. From the comparisons between Example 1 with Reference Example 2 and Reference Examples 1 to 3, it was found that the polymer molecular weight was determined based on the amount of the polymerization initiator V-601 added first. The residual amount of the carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) with inferior reactivity could be significantly reduced by additionally adding the polymerization initiator V-601 with a time difference.

     Example 2 
     163 g of IPA was inserted into a 1 liter four-neck flask equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, and a reflux tube. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas, and then sufficiently degassed and heated to 70° C. 110 g (55% by weight) of methyl methacrylate, 10 g (5% by weight) of n-butyl acrylate, 80 g (40% by weight) of the carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1), 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) of V-601, and 107 g of IPA were introduced and dissolved in a dripping funnel. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the monomer mixture was dripped through a dripping funnel over 1 hour while being maintained at 70° C. After dripping was completed, heating and stirring were performed for 6 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then a solution of 0.6 g (0.3% by weight) of V-601 dissolved in 30 g of IPA was added. After further stirring for 6 hours, a reaction product with a nonvolatile content of 40.0% was obtained. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 17,200. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 2,350 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Comparative Example 1 
     A reaction product was obtained by a similar operation except that the amount of V-601 in Reference Example 1 was 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) and the heating and stirring time was 12 hours. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 17,000. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 5,200 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Comparative Example 2 
     A reaction product was obtained by a similar operation except that the amount of V-601 in Reference Example 1 was 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) and the heating and stirring time was 24 hours. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 18,000. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 2,740 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     [Summary 2] 
     The aforementioned results are summarized in Table 2. It was found that adding the initiator not only reduced the residual amount of the carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) with inferior reactivity, but also significantly reduced the reaction time.

     Example 3 
     163 g of IPA was inserted into a 1 liter four-neck flask equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, and a reflux tube. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas, and then sufficiently degassed and heated to 70° C. 110 g (55% by weight) of methyl methacrylate, 10 g (5% by weight) of n-butyl acrylate, 80 g (40% by weight) of the carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1), 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate (PEROCTA O manufactured by NOF Corporation), and 107 g of IPA were introduced and dissolved in a dripping funnel. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the monomer mixture was dripped through a dripping funnel over 1 hour while being maintained at 70° C. After the dripping was completed, heating and stirring were performed for 4 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere, and then a solution of 4.4 g (2.2% by weight) of PEROCTA (registered trademark) 0 (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutylperoxy-2-ethylhexanoate) dissolved in 30 g of IPA was added. After further stirring for 4 hours, a reaction product was obtained. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 19,400. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 1,350 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained.

Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 4,320 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     Comparative Example 5 
     163 g of IPA was inserted into a 1 liter four-neck flask equipped with a stirring device, a thermometer, and a reflux tube. The mixture was bubbled with nitrogen gas, and then sufficiently degassed and heated to 70° C. 76 g (38% by weight) of methyl methacrylate, 24 g (12% by weight) of n-butyl acrylate, 100 g (50% by weight) of the carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1), 2 g (1% by weight) of V-601, and 107 g of IPA were introduced and dissolved in a dripping funnel. In a nitrogen atmosphere, the monomer mixture was dripped through a dripping funnel over 3 hours while being maintained at 70° C. After dripping was completed, heating and stirring were performed for 7 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere to obtain a reaction product with a nonvolatile content of 40.9 mass %. Analysis by GPC revealed that the polymer had a peak top molecular weight of 29,300. Furthermore, analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that 14,750 ppm of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomer (A-1) remained. 
     [Summary 4] 
     The aforementioned results are summarized in Table 4. In the polymerization of monomers with different compositions, the residual amount of carbosiloxane dendrimer monomers (A-1) with inferior reactivity could be further reduced by adding a low-molecular monomer together with the polymerization initiator.

     Examples 7 to 11 
     Hereinafter, for the polymers obtained from the examples described above, the reaction solvent was replaced by an oil agent (such as isododecane or the like) to obtain a liquid copolymer composition. The details and properties thereof are summarized in Table 5. Note that the nonvolatile content is the vinyl copolymer having a carbosiloxane dendrimer structure in each example, and the amount of component (A-1) in these liquid copolymer compositions is reduced to 1000 ppm or less. 
     Example 7 
     120 g of isododecane (MARUKASOL R, manufactured by Maruzen Petrochemical) was added in 200 g of an isopropyl alcohol solution of the vinyl-based polymer of Example 1, and then IPA was distilled off at 120° C. Under reduced pressure, unreacted monomers were distilled off to obtain a liquid composition. The nonvolatile content was 37.0 mass % and the kinematic viscosity was 27 mm2/s. The contact angle (water) was 105° and the contact angle (artificial sebum) was 52°. The film was not sticky and was useful as a film agent for cosmetic materials. 
     Example 8 
     120 g of MARUKASOL R was added to 200 g of the isopropyl alcohol solution of the vinyl-based polymer of Example 2, and IPA was distilled off at 120° C. Under reduced pressure, unreacted monomers were distilled off to obtain a liquid composition. The nonvolatile content was 40.5 mass % and the kinematic viscosity was 66 mm2/s. 
     Example 9 
     120 g of MARUKASOL R was added to 200 g of the isopropyl alcohol solution of the vinyl-based polymer of Example 3, and IPA was distilled off at 120° C. Under reduced pressure, unreacted monomers were distilled off to obtain a liquid composition. The nonvolatile content was 41.6 mass % and the kinematic viscosity was 172 mm2/s. 
     Example 10 
     120 g of dodecane (PARAFOL 12-97, manufactured by Sasol) was added in 200 g of an isopropyl alcohol solution of the vinyl-based polymer of Example 5, and then IPA was distilled off at 120° C. Under reduced pressure, unreacted monomers were distilled off to obtain a liquid composition. The nonvolatile content was 39.4 mass % and the kinematic viscosity was 76 mm2/s. The contact angle (water) was 113° and the contact angle (artificial sebum) was 59°. The film was not sticky and was useful as a film agent for cosmetic materials. 
     Example 11 
     120 g of a mixture of undecane and tridecane (CETIOL ULTIMATE, manufactured by BASF) was added to 200 g of the isopropyl alcohol solution of the vinyl-based polymer of Example 5, and IPA was distilled off at 120° C. Under reduced pressure, unreacted monomers were distilled off to obtain a liquid composition. The nonvolatile content was 37.6 mass % and the kinematic viscosity was 49 mm2/s. The contact angle (water) was 109° and the contact angle (artificial sebum) was 51°. The film was not sticky and was useful as a film agent for cosmetic materials.
