Abstract: A method of providing topical protection against atmospheric pollutant molecules and against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, said method comprising the steps of: a) forming a polymer matrix that is both repellent and antiadhesive to atmospheric pollutant molecules, by means of a first biocompatible polymer (BP1); b) under the effect of UV radiation, photocatalytically degrading the pollutant molecules that have penetrated into the polymer matrix by means of first semiconductor colloids (Col-1) grafted covalently with a second biocompatible polymer (BP2), thereby leading to formation of free radicals; c) neutralizing said free radicals by means of at least 2 antioxidants, namely: a first antioxidant in the form of second semiconductor colloids (Col-2) grafted covalently with said first antioxidant (AntiOx-1); the second grafted colloids (Col-2) self-regenerating under the action of the UV radiation; and a second antioxidant (AntiOx-2) that is not in the form of colloids grafted with an antioxidant; and d) st

Abstract: The present invention concerns a three-dimensional bipolymeric matrix deploying biological and biomechanical activity, able to neutralize the various physiopathological parameters involved in the development and worsening of skin lesions and/or sores, combining: a first polymeric network comprising first colloids (Col-1) bonded non-covalently to an unsulfated crosslinked polysaccharide; and a second polymeric network comprising second colloids (Col-2) bonded covalently or non-covalently to a sulfated polysaccharide.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a topical composition creating a photonic barrier from ultraviolet radiation to visible radiation, comprising bismuth oxide colloids Bi2O3 in crystalline form doped with a metal.

Abstract: A sensor for a spectrometer is provided, which includes at least one optical element onto which an excitation light source beam is directed and from which a target beam is emitted towards a sample to be analyzed. The at least one optical element can move, thereby enabling the direction of the target beam to be varied.
