Lee Ki-ra, a co-research team of professors of chemical engineering, has developed sunscreen materials without white casts.
A joint research team led by Professor Igira Iggyra of the Department of Chemical Engineering and Polymer Engineering announced on the 24th that it has developed a "porous micro-weapon material platform technology" that effectively reflects ultraviolet rays without white casts that make the face white when applied with sunscreen.
The research was conducted as a joint project between Dr. Lee Yeon of Amorepacific Institute of Technology and Professor Igira Lee of Sungkyunkwan University's Department of Chemical Engineering.
The joint research team has uniformly synthesized and assembled "silica spherical particles" in fine size and empty in the middle, and found that the film made of the particles strongly reflects ultraviolet light, but appears transparent in the visible light area.
Using the new technology, the team explained, it can overcome the disadvantages of whitening the face or lumping the texture when applying sunscreen.
"It is meaningful in that we have secured platform technology to develop materials for UV protection," said Amorepacific's Institute of Technology. "We will verify the possibility of utilization through skin clinical tests."
The study was published in the online edition of the March issue of Particle & Particle Systems Characterization, an international academic journal in the field of materials, and was also selected as the cover of the April issue.
