  • Patent number: 10039705
    Abstract: Provided is a sun protection material including a plurality of polystyrene microspheres and a plurality of refractive layers. The polystyrene microspheres have a particle size of 150 nm to 300 nm. Surfaces of the polystyrene microspheres are at least partially covered by the refractive layers. The sun protection material can scatter a light in a wavelength range between 250 nm and 400 nm. A sun protection composition containing the sun protection material also may scatter a light of a wavelength range between 250 nm and 400 nm, such that the UV protection of the sun protection composition is enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20170027828
    Abstract: Provided is a sun protection composition including a UV absorber and a plurality of porous titanium dioxide microspheres. The UV absorber absorbs light of at least one of UVA radiation and UVB radiation. The particle size of the porous titanium dioxide microspheres is 100 nm to 300 nm, and the porous titanium dioxide microspheres can scatter light in a wavelength range between 200 nm and 400 nm. A cosmetic and a fabric containing the sun protection composition can also scatter light in a wavelength range between 200 nm and 400 nm, such that the UV protection capability of the cosmetic and the fabric is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 9466742
    Abstract: A photoelectric conversion material is disclosed in the present invention and comprises at least a cone material. The cone material is composed of an isomer and comprises a plurality of grains. The sizes of the grains are arranged from smaller ones to larger ones along a direction. In the meantime, a method for fabricating the above photoelectric conversion material is also disclosed here. The method comprises the following steps. First, a precursor is provided. The precursor comprises at least a cone material and the cone material is a multilayer structured material, such as sodium titanate and potassium titanate, formed by stacking first materials and second materials. And then, the precursor is annealed to let the second materials leave from the cone material, and the cone material becomes the above photoelectric conversion material with a plurality of grains.
