Abstract

L'invention concerne un complexe polymère-micelle. Les complexes polymère-micelle comprennent une micelle positivement chargée choisie dans le groupe constitué d'un composé d'ammonium quaternaire monomère, un composé de biguanide monomère, et des mélanges de ceux-ci. La micelle positivement chargée est électrostatiquement liée à un polymère hydrosoluble portant une charge négative. Le polymère ne comprend pas de copolymère séquencé, de particules de latex, de nanoparticules de polymère, de polymères réticulés, de copolymère de silicone, de tensioactif fluoré, ou de copolymère amphotère. Les compositions ne forment pas un coacervat, et ne forment pas un film lorsqu'elles sont appliquées sur une surface.
