Abstract: The present invention relates to a city pollution simulation apparatus for simulating the city pollution environment. The apparatus combines the air pollution and UV irradiation in the same test environment.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a city pollution environment simulation apparatus, combining air pollution and UV irradiation in the same test environment. The apparatus comprises an engine (1), a cooling tank (12) and a pollution test chamber (2) that comprises one or more UV lights (3), a temperature/humidity sensor (7), an online gas concentration analyzer (8), a PM2.5/PM10 analyzer system (9), a gas inlet (17) and a gas outlet (11).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium aerogel particles comprising an alginate, as well as the cosmetic use of a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition comprising, in a physiologically acceptable medium aerogel particles comprising an alginate, for treating the skin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hyperbranched polymer comprising: a) a hyperbranched polycondensate with hydroxyl end groups, amino end groups, or a combination thereof condensed to b) one or more linking groups connected to c1) one or more polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers and c2) one or more poly(C2-C3)alkylene glycol mono-(C8-C22)-alkyl ethers, wherein the weight ratio of components c1):c2) is from 9:1 to 1:9. It further relates to a process for producing the polymer, to a composition comprising the polymer and an active ingredient, and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or undesired vegetation or insect or acarid infestations or for regulating the growth of plants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hair styling and restyling composition comprising a cosmetically acceptable pressure sensitive adhesive polymer with restyling performance and improved washout from hair, to a pressure sensitive adhesive polymer with glass transition temperatures of lower than ?20° C., to a process for preparing said pressure sensitive adhesive polymer and to use of said pressure sensitive adhesive polymer for improving the restylability and washout behavior of a hair styling and restyling composition.
