Abstract

However, traditional nail varnish remains widely used. Nail varnish is a mixture of film formers and include nitrocellulose, adipic acid/neopentyl glycol/trimellitic anhydride copolymer (AA), and phthalic anhydride/trimellitic anhydride/glycols copolymer (PA).This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
