Summary

Bridges the widening gap between the knowledge about the use of polymers in the cosmetics industry & the greater understanding of polymeric behavior necessary for continuing research & development. Clearly describes the fundamentals of polymer science in relation to topical systems, paying special attention to formulating polymer groups commonly used in personal care products & topical behavior in potential new applications.
