Patent ID: 7956150

Claim:
An amide-substituted silicone having unit formula: (R 2 a R 1 3-a SiO 1/2 ) u (R 2 b R 1 2-b SiO 2/2 ) v (R 2 c R 1 1-c SiO 3/2 ) w (R 1 3 SiO 1/2 ) x (R 1 2 SiO 2/2 ) y (R 1 SiO 3/2 ) z (SiO 4/2 ) 1-u-v-w-x-y-z , where a has a value ranging from 0 to 1, b has a value ranging from 0 to 1, c has a value ranging from 0 to 1, (a +b+c) >0,(u+x) has a value ranging from 0 to 0.4,(v+y) has a value ranging from 0.6 to 1,(w+z) has a value ranging from 0 to 0.1, each R 1 is independently a monovalent hydrocarbon group, each R 2 is independently an alkyl group having 5 to 30 carbon atoms or an amide-functional group of formula: where each R 3 is independently a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a monovalent organic group, provided, however, that at least one R 3 is not hydrogen, each R 4 is independently a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, and each R 5 is independently a group of formula -(CR 3 2 ) r R 1 , where r has a value ranging from 5 to 29, and q has a value ranging from 10 to 29, with the proviso that 1 mole % to 100 mole % of R 2 is the amide-functional group.
