Patent ID: 7968083

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a deodorant comprising the steps of: forming polymer particles by reacting a main monomer of (N-substituted alkyl)acrylamide, a functional monomer for bonding the polymer particles to a fibrous substrate, a cross-linking agent, and an initiator and loading a deodorant agent to the polymer particles, wherein the polymer particles have a lower critical solution temperature and the polymer particles are formed at a temperature above the lower critical solution temperature, wherein the deodorant agent is selected from the group consisting of C18:1 dioic acid, C18:2 dioic acid, and phenyl compounds, wherein the cross-linking agent is selected from the group consisting of 2-(diethylamino)ethyl acrylate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl acrylate, 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate, and N,N′-methylenebisacrylamide (BisAAm), and wherein the main monomer is present at an amount of 80% to 90% by weight of the polymer particles, the functional monomer is present at an amount of 5% to 15% by weight of the polymer particles, and the cross-linking agent is present at an amount of 1% to 10% by weight of the polymer particles.
