Abstract

The present disclosure relates generally to compositions for natural and artificial nail coatings, and particularly, but not by way of limitation, to polymerizable compositions and adhesion-promoting basecoats polymerized therefrom. The disclosure further relates to methods of making a polymerized basecoat that are more easily removed than artificial nail enhancements and more durable and long lasting than nail polish coatings.

Claims (45)

1 . A polymerizable composition comprising:

at least one reactive (meth)acrylate;

at least one reactive urethane (meth)acrylate;

at least one reactive polypropylene glycol monomethacrylate;

at least one polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)—polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) copolymer;

at least one pyromellitic dianhydride glyceryl dimethacrylate (PMGDM);

at least one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer; and

at least one non-reactive solvent;

wherein upon exposure to actinic radiation, said polymerizable composition cures to

an acrylic thermoset having voids defined therein, said voids containing said at least

one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer.

2 . The polymerizable composition of claim 1 , wherein said at least one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer is a cellulose ester.

3 . The polymerizable composition of claim 2 , wherein said cellulose ester is a cellulose acetate alkylate.

4 . The polymerizable composition of claim 3 , wherein said cellulose acetate alkylate is selected from the group consisting of cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, and mixtures thereof.

9 . (canceled)

10 . The polymerizable composition of claim 1 , wherein said at least one at least one urethane (meth)acrylate has a molecular weight (grams/mole) of from about 100 to about 20,000.

11 . The polymerizable composition of claim 10 , wherein said at least one at least one urethane (meth)acrylate has a molecular weight of from about 200 to about 10,000.

12 . The polymerizable composition of claim 11 , wherein said at least one at least one urethane (meth)acrylate has a molecular weight of from about 300 to about 5,000.

13 . The polymerizable composition of claim 12 , wherein said at least one at least one urethane (meth)acrylate has a molecular weight of from about 300 to about 1,000.

14 . The polymerizable composition of claim 1 , wherein said at least one solvent is selected from the group consisting of ketones, alkyl acetates, alcohols, alkanes, alkenes, and mixtures thereof.

15 . The polymerizable composition of claim 14 , wherein said at least one non-reactive solvent is selected from the group consisting of acetone, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, isopropyl alcohol, ethanol, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, hexane, and mixtures thereof.

16 . The polymerizable composition of claim 1 , wherein said at least one solvent is included at up to about 70 weight percent.

17 . The polymerizable composition of claim 1 , further comprising at least one photoinitiator.

18 . The polymerizable composition of claim 17 , wherein said at least one photoinitiator is selected from the group consisting of benzoylphenylphosphinates, cyclohexylphenyl ketones, benzyl ketals, and mixtures thereof.

19 . The polymerizable composition of claim 17 , wherein said at least one photoinitiator is selected from the group consisting of 2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyldiphenylphosphinate, hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, benzyl dimethyl ketal, and mixtures thereof.

20 . The polymerizable composition of claim 17 , wherein said at least one photoinitiator is present at up to about 10 wt %.

21 . (canceled)

22 . (canceled)

23 . (canceled)

24 . (canceled)

25 . A method of making an acrylic thermoset having a plurality of thermoplastic inclusions defined therein, comprising:

providing a polymerizable liquid composition; and,

exposing said polymerizable liquid composition to an actinic radiation;

wherein said polymerizable liquid composition comprises:

at least one (meth)acrylate;

at least one urethane (meth)acrylate;

at least one polypropylene glycol monomethacrylate;

at least one polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)—polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) copolymer;

at least one pyromellitic dianhydride glyceryl dimethacrylate (PMGDM);

at least one non-reactive, solvent-dissolvable polymer; and

at least one non-reactive solvent.
