  Some questions about (LGN) lamellar gel network

  Posted by Abdullah on June 5, 2022 at 2:18 am

  Thanks to Chemists who has explained LGN very good in this forum. Here are some other questions that i couldn’t find the answer by searching the forum.

  Can you provide some information on these too.
  Thanks

  Questions are all about mol ratio

  1. What is the best ratio for maximum emulsion stability?

  2. What is the best ratio for maximum conditioning in hair conditioner?

  3. Can liquid emulsifier like polyglyceryl-4 laurate+ GMS or fatty alcohol make LGN products?

  4. Can SLS or SLES+ GMS or fatty alcohol make LGN product?

  5. If GMS is used as LGN promotor, what should be counted as it’s molecular weight?

  For example

  GMS is 358.57g/mol(google search

  GMS with 40% mono, 50% di & 5% tri is 500.512g/mol (my calculation)

  GMS with 90% is 385.215 g/mol(my calculation)

  So if i am using GMS with 40% mono, should i count it as 500.512 g/mol or 358.57 g/mol?
