Sunscreen Compounds and Formulations
Meadowfoam derived sunscreen compounds that reduce UVB-induced DNA damage Background Chronic skin exposure to solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) leads to accumulated DNA damage resulting in skin aging and the possibility of cancer. To prevent this, sunscreens are formulated with additives that reflect or absorb UV wavelengths that are incident on...

Improved Thin Film
Background Thin film deposition of metal oxide materials from aqueous solution is challenged by the solubility and gelling behavior of precursors. For example, some metal cations are poorly soluble at neutral pH, but added acid or base is detrimental to substrate stability and film adherence. In addition, soluble salts of metal cations tend to crystallize...
