Taxonomy for the assessment of the subjective experience of curly hair manageability
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 46, Issue 6, Page 1074-1087, December 2024.An instrument for assessing subjectively curly hair manageability was designed and validated. The instrument is based on a taxonomy of hair goals, haircare perceptions and preferred practices, and on the degree of hair curvature. It can support the design and testing of products for hair with high curvature as well as the development of applications ...

Synthesis and Characterization of Molybdenum Disulfide Nanoflowers and Nanosheets: Nanotribology
Journal of Nanomaterials, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015 This paper reports the solvothermal synthesis of MoS2 nanoflowers and nanosheets. The nanoflowers have a mean diameter of about 100 nm and were obtained using thioacetamide (C2H5NS) as a sulfur source. The few layered nanosheets were obtained using thiourea (CH4N2S) as a sulfur source.
