Overview

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.
