| contents | High Humidity Mechanical Properties of Film Forming Polymers for Personal Care Applications Megan Ferrar Brajesh Jha Advances in Polymer Technology The ability of polymeric materials to maintain their mechanical properties in humid environments is important for products across many industries, including paints and coatings, packaging, and personal care industries, amongst others. In this study, we utilize humidity‐controlled dynamic mechanical analysis (RH‐DMA) to evaluate the mechanical behavior of film‐forming sulfopolyester polymers subjected to sustained stress in high‐humidity environments. Our results demonstrate how these sulfopolyester polymer films respond to both oscillatory and creep deformations when exposed to high humidity. Our aim is to link their mechanical properties under elevated humidity conditions to their potential use as film formers that maintain hair curl retention in personal care applications. We propose the use of a force‐controlled creep test using a 0.02 N load to simulate the gravitational force relevant to a 2 g hair sample. Under these testing conditions, we found the material with the highest Tg resulted in a 0.3% elongation after 5 h at 90% RH, which would suggest durable performance in hair styling applications. The results highlight the value of RH‐DMA as a predictive tool for screening film formers in the development of personal care products. 10.1155/adv/6915313 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ |
