Series: Cosmetic Science and Technology

Aims to bridge the gap between the knowledge about the use of polymers in the cosmetics industry and the greater understanding of polymeric behaviour necessary for continuing research and development. The book describes the fundamentals of polymer science in relation to topical systems,

paying attention to formulating polymer groups commonly used in personal care products and topical behaviour in potential new applications.

Reviews for Principles of Polymer Science and Technology in Cosmetics and Personal Care

"""...a welcome addition to the field as it fills a significant vacuum in the area of cosmetic applications of polymer carriers.... ...a very useful 90-page compendium of all the polymers and thickeners used in the field with detailed structure and properties is the piece de resistance. Highly recommended. "" -Journal of Controlled Release ""...an indispensable work tool."" - Journal of Applied Cosmetology (2000)"
