Material Detail

Sunscreens, a primary defense against ultraviolet (UV) radiation, use UV filters to mitigate the harmful effects of UVA and UVB radiation, including DNA damage, skin aging, and cancer. However, organic UV filters like benzophenones, oxybenzone, sulisobenzone, and PABA are persistent pollutants, posing environmental risks due to their incomplete removal by conventional wastewater treatment. This study investigates the encapsulation of hazardous UV filters inside a stable belt[14]pyridine nanobelt to facilitate their removal through host-guest interactions.
