Abstract: Provided is a method of improving skin condition by applying to the skin of a subject a cosmetic composition comprising black yeast-derived exosomes as an active ingredient and thereby improving the skin condition, particularly skin elasticity improvement, skin wrinkle reduction, skin texture improvement, skin tone improvement, skin brightness improvement, skin regeneration, skin moisturization, and/or whitening.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a crucible assembly for producing a cathode active material. The crucible assembly includes a first crucible having an open top and an internal space and a second crucible disposed below the first crucible and having an incision groove with an open area at an upper portion of each sidewall.

Abstract: The present specification relates to a conductive structure body, a method for manufacturing the same, and an electrode and an electronic device including the conductive structure body.

Abstract: A separator including a porous polymer substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface; a porous coating layer on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate; and a conductive coating layer on a surface of the porous coating layer opposite the surface of the porous coating layer facing the first surface of the porous polymer substrate. The porous coating layer includes a plurality of inorganic particles and a first binder polymer totally or partially on the surfaces of the inorganic particles to interconnect and fix the inorganic particles. The conductive coating layer includes single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and a second binder polymer.

Abstract: Proposed is a composition for orthodontic correction and prevention and treatment of dental disorders, and the composition contains mesoporous silica particles and a zwitterionic material. The composition may reduce thickness and biomass of a saliva-derived biofilm, increase antifouling ability, and reduce viability of bacteria due to an adhesion resistance to fungi and bacteria. In addition, the composition may prevent protein adsorption, provide excellent wettability and mechanical properties, provide resistance to inflammation through amplification of SOD activity, and prevent aggregation of ceria particles. Due to the advantages stated above, a new dental material that overcomes the problems of existing dental materials may be provided.

Abstract: A separator for an electrochemical device provided with a porous coating layer including multiple types of binder resins, and a method for manufacturing the same. The separator shows high adhesion between an electrode and the separator, even when any separate adhesive layer is not disposed on the surface of the separator. In addition, the separator shows higher adhesion to an electrode, as compared to a separator using a fluorinated binder resin, such as polyvinylidene fluoride, used conventionally in the art. Therefore, when introducing the separator to a battery, it is possible to manufacture an electrode assembly under a mild temperature and pressure condition, to improve the productivity of assemblage, to reduce defect generation, and thus to increase the yield. Further, the separator shows high affinity to an electrolyte, as compared to a semi-crystalline polymer, such as a fluorinated binder resin, and thus improves the output characteristics of a battery.

Abstract: The present specification provides a dental glass ionomer cement (GIC) composition comprising a zwitterionic material and a glass ionomer cement, and a method of preparing the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing pterocarpan from isoflavan-4-ol. With the use of the method of the present invention, the absolute configuration of C3 and C4 positions on the B-ring of isoflavan-4-ols is maintained identically also in pterocarpans, and thus, enantiopure pterocarpans can be efficiently prepared.
