Popis: TG and DSC analyses were carried out in this work to evaluate the changes in the denaturation of human hair keratin submitted to different chemical effects. Hair bleaching and chlorinating treatments caused changes in the denaturation temperatures and denaturation enthalpies of hair keratin. Bleached hair and hair kept in a chlorinated solution presented a lower denaturation enthalpy and a higher denaturation temperature compared to the control hair sample. The TG and DSC analyses allowed to quantify the degradation level of hair fibers after the chemical treatments. AFM was also utilized to characterize the morphological alterations in the hair fiber surfaces caused by the chlorinating and bleaching treatments.
