Herein is disclosed an elastomeric silicone composition comprising at least a first and a second glycerol phase which are distinct from each other and a method of making the same. The elastomeric compositions are special therein that zero-order active substance release can reversibly be obtained by modifying the glycerol content of the silicone composition.

The present invention relates to personal care compositions comprising malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using such personal care compositions. Such personal care compositions comprising the malodor control technologies disclosed herein provide malodor control without leaving an undesireable scent and when perfume is used to scent such compositions, such scent is not unduely altered by the malodor control technology.

To provide a fluorinated elastic copolymer composition such that solubility of a fluorinated elastic copolymer in a solvent is excellent, the solvent is easily removed, and the solvent is easily available. A fluorinated elastic copolymer composition comprising a fluorinated elastic copolymer having units based tetrafluoroethylene and units based on CF.sub.2=CFOR.sup.f1 (wherein R.sup.f1 is a C.sub.1-10 perfluoroalkyl group), and a fluorinated solvent having a perfluorohydrocarbon group, wherein the perfluorohydrocarbon group having the largest number of carbon atoms in the fluorinated solvent has from 3 to 7 carbon atoms, the fluorinated solvent has a boiling point of from 50 to 160° C., and the fluorinated solvent has a fluorine atom content (fluorine atom content (mass %)=(19× number of fluorine atoms in the fluorinated solvent/molecular weight of the fluorinated solvent)×100) of from 69 to 80 mass %.

Described herein are associative polymers capable of controlling a physical and/or chemical property of non-polar compositions and related compositions, methods and systems. Associative polymers herein described have a non-polar backbone and functional groups presented at ends of the non-polar backbone, with a number of the functional groups presented at the ends of the non-polar backbone formed by associative functional groups capable of undergoing an associative interaction with another associative functional group with an association constant (k) such that the strength of each associative interaction is less than the strength of a covalent bond between atoms and in particular less than the strength of a covalent bond between backbone atoms.

A bituminous composition includes at least one bitumen base, at least one first chemical additive chosen from compounds of general formula Ar1-R.sub.1-Ar.sub.2 (I), and at least one second chemical additive chosen from a second chemical additive chosen from the reaction products of at least one C.sub.3-C.sub.12 polyol and of at least one C.sub.2-C.sub.12 aldehyde. This composition can be used for different industrial applications and as road binder, notably for the preparation of bituminous mixes.
