Abstract
This study is attempted to demonstrate the application of rheological measurements in characterization of cosmetics products. As part of this study, several rheological tests were carried out on three common, commercially available body lotions to analyze their complex properties. The tests described in this study were simple and predictive in which the viscoelastic properties were successfully related with the end-use performance properties such as applicability, processing behavior, temperature sensitivity and storage and thermal stability.
A series of temperature and pH responsive hydrogels was synthesized by using hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC) as temperature sensitivity material and the natural material, sodium alginate (SA) as pH sensitivity material. The effect of SA to LCST has been studied and the mechanism of the influence has been presented. In addition, the swelling ratio and controlling factor of swelling process were all researched in this paper. The main results obtained are as follows: the LCST decreased gradually as added SA into HPC; the HPC/SA hydrogel responded both temperature and pH value of the medium; the swelling ratio reached maximum value as pH value of 6.
