Title: Hair treatment process providing dispersed colors by light diffraction

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1111144

Hair was coated with polymer-containing fluid and then hot pressed to form a composite of hair and a polymer film imprinted with a nanopattern. Polychromatic light incident on the nanopattern is diffracted into dispersed colored light.
