Patent ID: 8071203

Claim:
A polymeric structure derived from a hydroxyl polymer-containing composition comprising: a. an aqueous mixture comprising a hydroxyl polymer; b. a hydrophile/lipophile system comprising a hydrophile component and selected from the group consisting of alkylaryl sulfonates, ethoxylated alcohols, ethoxylated alkylphenols, ethoxylated amines, ethoxylated fatty acids, ethoxylated fatty esters and oils, glycerol esters, propoxylated and ethoxylated fatty acids, propoxylated and ethoxylated fatty alcohols, propoxylated and ethoxylated alkyl phenols, quaternary surfactants, sorbitan derivitaives, alcohol sulfates, ethoxylated alcohol sulfates, sulfosuccinates and mixtures thereof, and a lipophile component selected from the group consisting of saturated and unsaturated animal and vegetable oils, mineral oil, petrolatum, natural and synthetic waxes and mixtures thereof wherein the hydrophile component and the lipophile component are not covalently bonded together; and c. a crosslinking system comprising a crosslinking agent comprising an imidazolidinone and a crosslinking facilitator; wherein the hydrophile component facilitates dispersibility of the lipophile component in the aqueous mixture.
