April 2023 in “Langmuir” This study used molecular dynamics simulations to model the outer surface of human hair, illustrating complex behavior and potential adsorption interactions with fatty acids, which may inform cosmetic formulation development.
This study used molecular dynamics simulations to illustrate the complex molecular behavior of the hair surface F-layer, highlighting how fatty acids interact with 18-MEA under different conditions.
This study demonstrated that the differential wetting characterization (DWC) method can effectively differentiate changes in the wetting properties of hair fibers after chemical or physical treatment.
