Chitosan phospholipid surface functionalization: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Aggregation of mineral pigments in biopolymer matrices leads to poor dispersion and inconsistent material properties. Surface functionalization with phospholipids and specific treatments stabilizes the interface to ensure uniform composite performance.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Chitosan phospholipid surface functionalization?

Particle aggregation and instability

(30)evidences

Incompatibility between hydrophobic therapeutic agents and aqueous biological environments. Overcoming this limitation ensures effective delivery and bioavailability of non-polar compounds.

Poor pigment dispersion stability

(16)evidences

Incompatibility between mineral pigments and biopolymer matrices leads to agglomeration and uneven distribution. Improving surface affinity prevents phase separation and enhances coating uniformity.
