Abstract

The present invention includes an ultraviolet radiation absorbing polymer composition that includes polymers containing a UV-chromophore, as described in the specification and as claimed the reaction product of a monoglyceride and a poly-acid monomer containing a UV-chromophore.

Claims (14)

3. The composition of claim 1 , comprising the reaction product of said monoglyceride, said poly-acid monomer containing said UV-chromophore and a poly-ol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, bis-2-hydroxyethyl ether, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,8-octanediol, 1,10-decanediol, 1,12-dodecanediol, linear poly(ethylene glycol), branched poly(ethylene glycol), linear poly(propylene glycol), branched poly(propylene glycol), linear poly(ethylene-co-propylene glycol)s and branched poly(ethylene-co-propylene glycol)s glycols, polyglycerols, polyglycerol esters, glycerol, monosaccharide, disaccharides, polysaccharides, and linear polysiloxanes end-functionalized with carbinol groups.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polymer composition is a reaction product of said monoglyceride, said poly-acid monomer containing said UV-chromophore and a poly-acid selected from the group consisting of natural multifunctional carboxylic acid, hydroxy acid and unsaturated acid; wherein the natural multifunctional carboxylic acid is selected from the group consisting of succinic, glutaric, adipic, pimelic, suberic, and sebacic acids; wherein the hydroxy acid is selected from the group consisting of diglycolic, malic, tartaric and citric acids; wherein the unsaturated acid is selected from the group consisting of fumaric acid and maleic acid.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the ultraviolet radiation absorbing polymer composition has a weight average molecular weight from about 500 to about 50,000.

6. An ultraviolet radiation absorbing polymer composition comprising a polymer comprising a repeat unit

wherein X comprises a UV chromophore selected from the group consisting of triazoles; dibenzoylmethanes; 4-aminobenzoic acid and alkane esters thereof; anthranilic acid and alkane esters thereof; salicylic acid and alkane esters thereof; hydroxycinnamic acid and alkane esters thereof; dihydroxy, dicarboxy, or hydroxycarboxybenzophenones and alkane ester or acid halide derivatives thereof; dihydroxy, dicarboxy, or hydroxycarboxychalcones and alkane ester or acid halide derivatives thereof; dihydroxy, dicarboxy, or hydroxycarboxycoumarins and alkane ester or acid halide derivatives thereof; benzimidazole derivatives; benzoxazole derivatives; 3-(3-(2H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-2-yl)-5-(tert-butyl)-4-hydroxyphenyl); 6-octyl-2-(4-(4,6-di([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-3-hydroxyphenoxy)propanoate and trioctyl 2,2′,2″-(((1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyl)tris(3-hydroxybenzene-4,1-diyl))tris(oxy))tripropanoate, and R 1 is a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon moiety having a number of carbon atoms between 4 and 30.
