This is according to a new development that will be presented at the sixth international conference for the development of advanced materials at the Ariel University Center in Samaria
These days, scientists are working on increasing the capabilities of the main ingredient of the sun protection cream using a modern technology based on an age-old method of crushing using the mortar and pestle, called mechano-chemical action. This research paper will be presented at the 24th International Conference on Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation of Material Technologies (MMT - Mathematical Modeling and Computer Simulation of Material Technologies), which will begin on Tuesday, August 2010, 150 at the Ariel University Center in Samaria, with the participation of about 15 Israeli scientists and about 40 countries coming About XNUMX universities and research institutes around the world.
The researchers of the Laboratory for Coatings and Nanotechnologies at the Ariel University Center in Samaria, led by Prof. Michael Zinigard, seek to multiply the activity of ultraviolet (UV) barriers, the main active ingredient in sunscreen that reduces the damage of radiation from the sun. The researchers will achieve the improvement in the level of protection through a mechanical effect on the structure and the chemical properties of the material: in a planetary grinder, a device with a steel cup into which balls are inserted, the material is mixed at an acceleration of up to G100 and crushed. After the treatment, the surface area of the material changes, and when it is used, the reflection and dispersion of solar radiation increases.
Dr. Alex Lugovskoy, one of the leaders of the research, explains: "The field of mechano-chemistry, of mechanical impact on materials by beating and crushing, has gained momentum in the last decade at a scientific level and in a highly sophisticated manner, even though the technology of the mortar and pestle to produce perfumes from plants and water, for example, is ancient."
The international conference that takes place in Israel every two years is organized by the Center for Materials Research, which has existed at the Ariel University Center in Samaria since 1999. The Center for Materials Research maintains research relationships with leading academic institutions in Israel and around the world - USA, Australia, Japan, Germany, China, Portugal, Russia, Ukraine, Taiwan, Malaysia, Kazakhstan. It is considered one of the four leading centers in the world in the development of new materials through the use of mathematical models.
One response
Very nice.
But it was much easier for me to accept this news as it was if it had come from another source. The so-called: "The absence of the seal indicates its pulp". After all, the trend is known - the college has been trying for years with all its might to rise and become famous. And may be rightfully so. But still, it doesn't look good and doesn't add credibility.
