+++ HyaCare® Filler CL – the topical wrinkle smoother within the last couple of years a wellknown active ingredient has seen its revival in various segments of the personal care market. Hyaluronic acid still serves the needs of today’s consumers and cosmetic formulators. Beside this, it is used quite often as dermal filler. Following those trends, evonik´s care Specialties Business line provides a range of active ingredients based on hyaluronic acid. crosslinked hyaluronic acid is well known for its use as dermal filler. Dermatologists inject it directly into the skin to physically fill up wrinkles from within. Many consumers do not like such an invasive and expensive approach. therefore, they are look ing for cosmetics alternatives based on formulations which mimic the immediate wrinkle reducing properties of dermal fillers. As a log ic consequence evonik has enlarged its hyaluronic acid technology plat form for personal care products and launched Hyacare® Filler cl. Due to its 3dimensional network structure, Hyacare® Filler cl contributes instantly to the reduction of facial wrinkles and fine lines, as well as increases the elasticity of the skin. Be cause of its high waterbinding and strong shortterm moisturization properties, Hyacare® Filler cl supports effectively the hydra tion of the skin. it can be used for all antiaging applications where an instant effect as well as moisturization is desired. Hyacare® Filler cl is a unique crosslinked version of Hyacare®. Hyacare®, a fermentationderived highquality biopolysaccharide of high purity, is obtained by a solventfree process. it is skiniden tical hyaluronic acid with a medium molecular weight of 700 kDa. Due to its intrinsic filmforming properties it restores the elasticity of the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Besides this effect it reinforces the skin‘s natural short and longterm moisturization. Another product based on the hyaluronic acid technology is Hyacare® 50 that was evonik´s first product in this area. it represents hyaluronic acid with a very low molecular weight version of 50 kDa. Due to its strong skinpermeation properties, Hyacare® 50 has a pronounced bioactivity and can rejuvenate the skin by effectively strengthen dermalepidermal tight junctions (filling wrinkles from the inside). +++ PLEXIGLAS RESIST® AAA: new multi-skin sheets with anti-algae technology A spicandspan, transparent roof adorns the terrace, carport, or sunroom of many a home. Such roofs look all the more unsightly, however, if—like many surfaces exposed to the elements—they become overgrown by a greenishbrown film. Many people simply refer to it as „algae“. they then have to fetch a ladder and invest a lot of energy cleaning the roof. And that is no mean feat; after all, it is often difficult just to access such a roof. evonik has a far more convenient solution: a new multiskin sheet called PleXiGlAS reSiSt® AAA. this highquality, nextgeneration multiskin sheet is the world’s first plastic multiskin sheet featuring a nanotechbased antialgae design. this special coat ing takes advantage of the sun’s Uv radiation to essentially prevent algae, moss, pollen, and the like from adhering to the sheets. the next rainfall washes away virtually all of the remaining decomposed matter. And it goes without saying that this new highperformance innovation is entirely nontoxic and bioneutral. in addition, the new multiskin sheets also meet sophisticated expectations regarding design and co lor in construction: PleXiGlAS reSiSt® AAA is available not only in a clear version, but also white or in an elegant gray, too. And then there are the product benefits that PleXiGlAS reSiSt® has long been known for: excellent Uv resistance and weather resistance, for example. in fact, evonik issues a 30year warranty against yellowing for its transparent PleXiGlAS® products. At the end of the day, this range of properties grants homeowners a lot of spare time underneath a clean and durable roof. Relax instead of clean—thanks to new PLEXIGLAS RESIST® AAA multi-skin sheets 16 elements32 evonik science newsletter
+++ nano+art competition – day and night in nanoworld elements32 evonik science newsletter news this year’s nano+art competition revolved around the theme of “Day” or “night,” and attracted eyecatching artwork from next generation women scientists who drew their inspiration from their own research. now in its fifth year, nano4women—an initiative sponsored by the German federal government—invited entries from female students, graduates, and young scientists working in the field of nanotechnology at universities, research institutes and other organizations in Germany and europe. Angler in the Moonlight by Anna reckmann of cologne, A Light Shining in the Darkness by Maryam Hadji Abouzar from Aachen, and Nano-grass Field by Aruna ivaturi of the University of cambridge were awarded the first three places, along with a total of € 1,750 in prize money from evonik industries. Besides evonik industries AG, partners throughout Germany in the joint project include the Helmholtz Association, the Hessennanotech Action line of the Hessian Ministry of economics, the Fraunhofer institute for Mechanics of Materials in Halle/Saale, Martin luther University of Hallewittenberg, and science2public Society for Science communications. the venue for this year‘s nano+art competition was the tecHnoSeUM in Mannheim, which is still showing a special exhibition called nano! nutzen und visionen einer neuen technologie (“nano! Uses and visions for a new technology”). the exhibition will run until october 3, 2010. third place, and a check for € 250, went to Aruna ivaturi of the nanoscience centre at the University of cambridge, for her Nano-grass Field. taken with a scanning electron microscope, the image is a crosssection of a nanograss field made of zinc oxide nanorods (60 nm average diameter and 1 μm average length), produced by a hydrothermal process based on a layer of zinc shoots. An intriguing picture that attracted the most attention on account of its composition, as the jury remarked. Angler in the Moonlight made Anna reckmann from cologne the winner of this year’s nano+art competition. She is delighted with the check for over € 1,000 that she received from evonik. the awardwinning entry is a scanning electron microscope image of an organic fieldeffect transistor that was deposited on a polymer fiber. reckmann works and researches at the University of cologne’s institute for Physical chemistry in the field of surface coatings/nanoparticle synthesis. Maryam Hadji Abouzar, who studies the manufacture of nanostructures at the FH Aachen, was awarded second place, along with a check for over € 500. A Light Shining in the Darkness is a fluorescence microscopic image of DnA strands, 6 nm in size, that are marked with cy3 (fluorescent dye) and applied to a silanized Sio 2 surface. the composition of the DnAbased buffer solution prevents homogeneous immobilization. 17
