Abstract

A hair care mixture formed from a gluconamide derivative and 3-hydroxypropyl ammonium gluconate is known to strengthen hair fibers; however, the mechanism by which the mixture affects hair is unknown. To give insight into the aggregation of the target gluconamide and potential interactions between the gluconate-derived mixture and hair fibers, a range of systems were characterized by X-ray crystallography namely two polymorphic forms of the target gluconamide and three salts of 3-hydroxypropylammonium with sulfuric acid, methane sulfonic acid, and oxalic acid. The gluconamide proves to aggregate and becomes a supramolecular gelator in aniline and benzyl alcohol solution. The resulting gels were characterized by rheology, scanning electron microscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction.
