Viscoelastic properties of α-keratin fibers in hair.

Acta Biomaterialia, 2017
Considerable viscoelasticity and strain-rate sensitivity are a characteristic of α-keratin fibers, which can be considered a biopolymer. The understanding of viscoelasticity is an important part of the knowledge of the overall mechanical properties of these biological materials.

Capturing hair assemblies fiber by fiber

ACM SIGGRAPH Asia 2009 papers, 2009
Hair models for computer graphics consist of many curves representing individual hair fibers. In current practice these curves are generated by ad hoc random processes, and in close-up views their arrangement appears plainly different from real hair.

The Physical Properties of Hair Fibers

, 2012
This chapter describes tensile, bending and torsional testing including different parameters of each of these deformations and how these are affected by different types of hair including different types of hair damage. Expanded data sets are included for elastic moduli and other parameters of these deformations.

Photoageing of Hair Fiber and Photoprotection

Skin Pharmacology, 2009
Examination by transmission electron microscopy of hair exposed to sunlight has revealed important damage. Findings indicate an alteration of various cell components. Damage occurs in the cuticle and leads to its loss. Separation of macro-fibrils and destruction of melanin pigments result in cortex damage.

Effect of Waste Human Hair Fibers on Shear Behavior of Sand in Dry and Saturated Conditions

Journal of Testing and Evaluation, 2018
Soil reinforcement using natural fibers has been successfully employed in different projects. Among the natural fibers, the use of waste human hair fibers as a reinforcing material can be the solution for sustainable development.

Tensile properties of twisted hair fibers

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2005
Hair is routinely twisted during grooming processes, which can cause tangles and lead to breakage of hair fibers. To evaluate the damage caused by twisting hair, the tensile stress–strain properties of single twisted hair fibers were measured by two different experimental procedures: (A) twist at constant length, followed by extension to break (without

Influence of functionalized silicones on hair fiber–fiber interactions and on the relationship with the macroscopic behavior of hair assembly

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2010
J. Cosmet. Sci., 60, 261–271 (March/April 2009)SynopsisIt is well established that silicones alter hair surface properties and that silicones have a significant impact on the macroscopic behavior of hair assembly, such as visual appearance, combing performance and manageability of the hair.
