The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a paper substrate suitable for binding silicone in a catalytic hydrosilation reaction and products thereof, wherein the molecular weight of polyvinyl alcohol is used to control the viscosity of the water-based acetalization reaction, such that a paper substrate may be coated with acetalized polyvinyl alcohol that contains high amount of functional vinyl groups, wherein the functional vinyl groups are part of catenated carbon structures which contain at least 4 carbon atoms and which have an acetal connectivity with the backbone chain of the acetalized polyvinyl alcohol.

The present invention is related to the use of ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers with a high randomness monomers distribution, which are synthesized by semicontinuous emulsion polymerization process, characterized because it is carried out using slow addition rate of the pre-emulsion feeding ({dot over (q)}0.009 kgL.Math.L.sup.1.Math.min.sup.1), stabilized this last one by alkyl glycol ether type surfactants, at temperatures higher than 75 C. and with solids contents above 25 wt %, which avoids the formation of large sequences (blocks) of a same monomer. This structural characteristic gives the ethylene alkanoate-alkyl acrylate bipolymers a high efficiency as chemical agents for removal of complex water/crude oil emulsions of crude oil blends.

The invention relates to a cosmetic process for treating keratin fibres, comprising: (i) a step of applying to the keratin fibres a cosmetic composition containing a polyvinyl alcohol polymer comprising:an alcohol unitoptionally an acetate unita photocrosslinkable unita hydrophobic unit; (ii) a step of irradiating the composition on the keratin fibres to crosslink said polymer. The invention also relates to the novel polyvinyl alcohol polymer used in said process. The treated keratin fibres have good cosmetic properties in terms of a soft feel and disentangling, which properties are persistent after one or more shampoo washes.
