Chemical Engineering Professor Yi Gi Ra’s Co-research Team Develops No White Residue Sun Blocking Material.
Amore Pacific Technology Research Institute reported on 24th that they have developed a sun block that does not leave white residue and blocks UV effectively using porous micro material platform technology.
This research was a collaboration between Amore Pacific Research Institute of Technology Material Lab Dr. Lee Yeon and SKKU Chemical Engineering Professor Yi Gi Ra.
.
The co-research team succeeded in uniformly synthesizing·putting back together silica spherical particle that is hollow in the middle by minute size. The team was able to prove that the film made of this particle was able to strongly repel UV light, while in visible ray area it was able to be transparent.
The research team explained that with this new technology, when one applies the sunblock, there will be able to overcome the flaw of white residues or lumps.
Amore Pacific Technology Research Institute stated that, “This is meaningful in that it has secured a platform for the technology to develop UV block materials.” “We shall verify the possibility for utilization through skin clinical tests.”
This research results were published in an international journal Particle & Particle Systems Characterization March edition online and was also chosen as the thesis for the front page for April edition.
