Diffusion of Active Ingredients in Textiles - A Three Step Multiscale Model

Most practical textile models are based on a two scale approach: a one-dimensional fiber model and a fabric model, see [1]. No meso-level is used in between, i.e. the yarn scale is neglected in this setup. For dense textile substrates this seems appropriate as the yarns connect everywhere, but for loose fabrics or scrims this approach cannot be kept. Specifically when one is interested in track...

Active Ingredients

Introduction The stratum corneum, representing the outmost layer of the skin, is a vitally important barrier of the body and protects it from various environmental stress factors. In order to maintain its elasticity, suppleness and barrier function, the skin requires optimal water content. In order to guarantee these functions skin moisture is tightly regulated by two factors, namely by the int...

Active Ingredients for Cosmetics

The enzymatic hydrolysis of the particular quality of raw material yield natural free amino acids and low molecular weight peptides in an ideal synergetic mixture. Tests made also directly on hair have shown the excellent properties of KELYAMIN for hair care formulations. The free amino acids are capable of penetrating the hair shaft whereas the peptides with their film-forming properties compl...

Wearable and Washable Conductors for Active Textiles.

The emergence of stretchable electronics and its potential integration with textiles have highlighted a challenge: Textiles are wearable and washable, but electronic devices are not. Many stretchable conductors have been developed to enable wearable active textiles, but little has been done to make them washable. Here we demonstrate a new class of stretchable conductors that can endure wearing ...
