Biophysics of human hair: structural, nanomechanical, and nanotribological studies

This book presents the biophysics of hair. It deals with the structure of hair, its mechanical properties, the nanomechanical characterization, tensile deformation, tribological characterization, the thickness distribution and binding interactions on hair surface. It is the first book on the biophysical properties of hair. Presents the biophysics of human hair Contains nanostudies of the properties of hair Macroscale tribological characterization of hair Discusses hair damage INDICE: Introduction.- Experimental.- Structural characterization using anAFM.- Nanomechanical characterization using nanoindentation, nanoscratch, andAFM.- Multi-scale tribological characterization.- Conditioner thickness distribution and binding interactions on hair surface.- Surface potential studies of human hair using Kelvin Probe Microscopy.- Closure.
