  • Method for Improving Fastness Properties of Fluorescent Compounds on Hair
    Publication number: 20160271037
    Abstract: Described herein is a method of treating the hair. The method includes applying to the hair a hair treatment composition including one or more fluorescent compounds and rinsing the hair with water. The one or more fluorescent compounds each include a fluorophore, one or two permanent cations, and one to four incipient cations. The incipient cations are pendant to the core structure and are neutral. The one or more fluorescent compounds enter the hair shaft after the hair treatment composition is applied to the hair The hair treatment composition has a pH of from about 7 to about 11. The pH of the hair after rinsing is from about 3.5 to about 6. The rinsing of the hair causes one or more of the one to four incipient cations to change from neutral to positively charged inside of the hair shaft.

  • Double anodizing processes
    Patent number: 9420713
    Abstract: Methods and structures for forming anodization layers that protect and cosmetically enhance metal surfaces are described. In some embodiments, methods involve forming an anodization layer on an underlying metal that permits an underlying metal surface to be viewable. In some embodiments, methods involve forming a first anodization layer and an adjacent second anodization layer on an angled surface, the interface between the two anodization layers being regular and uniform. Described are photomasking techniques and tools for providing sharply defined corners on anodized and texturized patterns on metal surfaces. Also described are techniques and tools for providing anodizing resistant components in the manufacture of electronic devices.
