270-300 / 1000+ results research Superhydrophobicity for Antifouling Microfluidic Surfaces
Superhydrophobic surfaces can prevent fouling and enable self-cleaning in microfluidic devices.
research Pattern formation on regular polygons and circles
Domain shape greatly affects pattern formation.
research A pilot study on the sexual side effects of finasteride as related to hand preference for men undergoing treatment of male pattern baldness
Left-handed men experience more sexual side effects from finasteride treatment.
research Exploring the Effects of Wetting and Free Fatty Acid Deposition on an Atomistic Hair Fiber Surface Model Incorporating Keratin-Associated Protein 5-1
Damaged hair allows water to penetrate more easily, and fatty acids from shampoos can deposit on hair surfaces.
research Regulation of hard α-keratin mechanics via control of intermediate filament hydration: matrix squeeze revisited
Hard α-keratins stay stiff in water because the surrounding matrix keeps them dehydrated and strong.
research Rheology of Almond (Prunus amygdalus) Oil used as Biodegradable Lubricant
Almond oil works well as a biodegradable lubricant and has health benefits.

Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair structure during keratinization.
research In vivo silica nanoparticle translocation across human stratum corneum: the effect of surface hydrophobization in relation to hair follicle density.
Hydrophobized silica nanoparticles penetrate the skin's outer layer more effectively, while hair follicle density doesn't impact their accumulation.
research Biomechanics of chemically treated hair for continuous 1D strands
NaOH treatment improves hair strength and suitability for textiles.
