Viscoelastic surfactant gel network: ShiseidoRecent Research Landscape

Standard liquid detergents suffer from phase separation and leakage during storage. Precise control of the gel matrix structure ensures consistent active ingredient suspension and controlled release during the wash cycle.

What technical problems is Shiseido addressing in Viscoelastic surfactant gel network?

Surface contaminant adhesion

(7)evidences

Inefficient interfacial tension reduction prevents the complete displacement of oily or particulate matter. Effective removal ensures substrate hygiene and prevents residue accumulation.

Interfacial phase instability

(6)evidences

Standard surfactant systems often suffer from poor viscosity retention and phase separation when exposed to high electrolyte loads or temperature fluctuations. Maintaining structural integrity ensures consistent delivery and sensory performance of the cleansing agent.

Inadequate formulation rheological stability

(5)evidences

Persistent organic and inorganic deposits on surfaces and in narrow apertures resist standard fluid removal. Eliminating these residues restores flow capacity and surface hygiene.
