Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Treatment of Human Hair Fibers [PDF]
Journal of Bio- and Tribo-Corrosion, 2015 Human hair fibers in virgin and dyed forms were treated with atmospheric pressure helium, helium/oxygen, argon, and argon/oxygen plasma jets at 20 W of power. The effects of 10-min plasma treatment on surface morphology and chemistry were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively.

A replication study confirmed the EDAR gene to be a major contributor to population differentiation regarding head hair thickness in Asia [PDF]
, 2008 Hair morphology is a highly divergent phenotype among human populations. We recently reported that a nonsynonymous SNP in the ectodysplasin A receptor (EDAR 1540T/C) is associated with head hair fiber thickness in an ethnic group in Thailand (Thai-Mai ...

Insights on the Hair Keratin Structure Under Different Drying Conditions
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2023 It is important to understand the patterns of hair keratin integrity caused by drying methods. No previous information exists in the literature to compare different drying conditions needed to assess physical changes in the hair keratin.

Investigation of human hair fibers using lateral force microscopy
Scanning, 2001 AbstractAtomic force microscopy (AFM) and lateral force microscopy (LFM) were used to investigate the morphologic and surface changes associated with various surface modifications to human hair. These included extraction with a series of solvents, bleaching, and treatment with a cationic copolymer.

Human pollution exposure correlates with accelerated ultrastructural degradation of hair fibers [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Significance Air pollution via phototoxic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is a major risk factor for human health. While in vitro observations and in vivo correlations suggest a detrimental effect of PAHs at physiological concentrations, in vivo observations of the structural impact of PAHs are scarce.

Valorization of keratin biofibers for removing heavy metals from aqueous solutions [PDF]
, 2018 Four common waste keratin biofibers (human hair, dog hair, chicken feathers, and degreased wool) have been used as biosorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Different parameters of the biosorption processes were optimized in
