Abstract:
A process that degasses a structured surfactant composition that comprises at least one surfactant, water, and at least one suspending agent chosen from polysaccharides, gums, and celluloses. By degassing the composition, the suspending agent can form a structured system. Gas, such as air bubbles, disrupts the formation of the structuring system, which reduces the ability of the composition to suspend materials.
Abstract:
A magnetic recording medium including a substrate having a front side and a backside, having at least a magnetic recording layer coating the front side, and possibly an optional support layer or sublayer, wherein at least one layer of the magnetic recording medium includes carbon nanotubes.
Abstract:
A multicomponent composition separating surfactant and fragrance into separate phases to increase the fragrance release from the composition.

Abstract:
A single layer or dual layer magnetic recording medium comprising a non-magnetic substrate having a front side and a back side, a back coat formed on the back side. In a single layer medium, the magnetic layer comprises a ferromagnetic powder dispersed in a binder, and a surface modifier comprising a low molecular weight azo dye. In the dual layer embodiment, a lower support layer is formed over the front side comprising a granular alpha iron oxide compound dispersed in a binder, and as a surface treatment agent, at least one low molecular azo dye having the following general formula: —Ar—N═N—Ar— wherein Ar represents an aryl group, each of which independently comprises at least one pendant group selected from an electron donor, and an electron acceptor, and a magnetic layer is formed over the lower layer.
