January 2018 in “Materials Today: Proceedings” This study found that reinforcing epoxy with short human hair fibers and glass micro-spheres improved its wear resistance, suggesting potential applications in products like brake shoes and pads.
This study demonstrated that cryogelation of human hair keratin allows the development of 3D scaffolds with tunable properties, supporting cell adhesion and proliferation for potential biomedical applications.
January 2024 in “Seven Editora eBooks” This paper reviews various techniques for measuring the physical and mechanical properties of human hair fibers, emphasizing their importance in developing effective cosmetic products.
August 2016 in “International journal of scientific research in science, engineering and technology” This study demonstrated that incorporating human hair fiber into soft clayey soil significantly enhances subgrade strength and reduces cracking compared to unreinforced soil, as confirmed by unconfined compressive strength and CBR tests.
