Abstract: The present invention provides a hybrid material comprised of an active component for raw materials for cosmetics and a layered metal hydroxide, showing good stability, low toxicity, low irritation, good sustained release and good dispersibility. The present invention provides a method for preparing the hybrid material, using the coprecipitation method, the ion-exchange method or the adsorption method, depending on properties of the active component for raw materials for cosmetics. The method may further comprise a step of coating the surface of the hybrid material after preparation of the hybrid material. The present invention provides cosmectics comprising the above hybrid material.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery module including a plurality of unit cells stacked one on another. The battery module has a cooling system that accomplishes contact type cooling by a coolant flowing through gaps (flow channels) defined between the unit cells, and the flow channels defined between the unit cells are at a predetermined angle to the flowing direction of the coolant at inlet ports of the flow channels. The contact rate of the coolant to the unit cells in the battery module is increased and a large number of turbulent flows are created by the changing the flow channel through which the coolant flows. Consequently, the occurrence of the velocity gradient of the coolant in the flow channel defined between the unit cells is prevented, and therefore, the cooling efficiency of the battery module is improved.
