Photo-dimerizable alkoxysilane polymer networks: LorealRecent Research Landscape

Keratin fiber degradation and coating instability lead to poor treatment longevity, which is mitigated by engineering specific covalent bonds via photocrosslinkable PVA and polythiol-acetoacetate condensation. This approach ensures structural durability of the fiber coating through precise chemical crosslinking mechanisms.

What technical problems is Loreal addressing in Photo-dimerizable alkoxysilane polymer networks?

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(38)evidences

Structural damage and loss of integrity in hair fibers. Preventing this deterioration maintains the mechanical strength and aesthetic quality of the biological substrate.

Keratin fiber surface degradation

(8)evidences

Natural or treated hair fibers suffer from poor pigment retention and environmental degradation. Stabilizing these materials ensures long-lasting aesthetic results and resistance to washing.
