Description
This valuable reference bridges the widening gap between the knowledge about the use of polymers in the cosmetics industry and the greater understanding of polymeric behaviour necessary for continuing research and development. Providing both a solid grounding in polymer science for novices to the field and fresh insights for experienced researchers, 'Principles of Polymer Science and Technology in Cosmetics and Personal Care' introduces fundamentals of polymers, including their classification, molecular weight definitions, thermodynamics, rheology and properties in the solid and semi-solid state.
Reviews / Votes
"...a welcome addition to the field as it fills a significant vacuum in the area of cosmetic applications of polymer carriers.... ...a very useful 90-page compendium of all the polymers and thickeners used in the field with detailed structure and properties is the piece de resistance. Highly recommended. "-Journal of Controlled Release
"...an indispensable work tool."
- Journal of Applied Cosmetology (2000)
