Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Shell-structured particles for sunscreen applications are provided herein. A composition includes one or more zinc oxide particles constituting a core material in a sunscreen composition, one or more particles coating the one or more zinc oxide particles, wherein each of the one or more particles comprises a band gap within a predetermined range, and wherein said one or more particles are selected based on a desired absorption spectrum of the sunscreen composition, and an anti-reflective coating applied to the surface of the one or more particles coating the one or more zinc oxide particles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A sunscreen composition comprising: one or more zinc oxide particles; one or more particles coating the one or more zinc oxide particles, wherein the one or more particles comprise a combination of two or more of one or more zinc oxy-sulfide particles, one or more indium sulfide particles, and one or more indium oxy-sulfide particles; and an anti-reflective coating applied to the surface of the one or more particles coating the one or more zinc oxide particles. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the anti-reflective coating comprises silicon dioxide. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the anti-reflective coating comprises multiple layers of the anti-reflective coating. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more particles comprise one or more particles with a roughened surface.
