Overview
Humanhairisananocompositebiological?ber. Maintainingthehealth, feel, shine, color, softness, andoverallaestheticsofthehairishighlydesired. Haircarepr- ucts such as shampoos and conditioners, along with damaging processes such as chemical dyeing and permanent wave treatments, affect the maintenance and groomingprocessandareimportanttostudybecausetheyaltermanyhairprop- ties. Nanoscalecharacterizationofthecellularstructure, mechanicalproperties, and morphological, frictional, andadhesive properties(tribologicalproperties)ofhair areessentialtoevaluateanddevelopbettercosmeticproductsandtoadvancethe understandingofbiologicalandcosmeticscience. Theatomic/frictionforcemic- scope(AFM/FFM)andnanoindenterhavebecomeimportanttoolsforstudyingthe micro/nanoscalepropertiesofhumanhair. Inthisbook, wepresentacomprehensive review of structural, nanomechanical, and nanotribological properties of various hairandskinasafunctionofethnicity, damage, conditioningtreatment, andvarious environments. Variouscellularstructuresofhumanhairand?nesublamellarstr- turesofthecuticleareidenti?edandstudied. Nanomechanicalpropertiessuchas hardness, elasticmodulus, tensiledeformation, fatigue, creep, andscratchresistance arediscussed. Nanotribologicalpropertiessuchasroughness, friction, andadhesion are presented, as well as investigations of conditioner distribution, thickness, and bindinginteractions.
