Abstract

Nanodiamond-Infused Microgels Skin cancer remains a major health concern. In their Research Article (10.1002/adfm.202504604), Lilian C. Hsiao, Saad A. Khan, and o-workers develop nanodiamond-infused polyacrylic acid microgels that provide broad ultraviolet (UV) radiation protection for topical use to prevent UV-induced skin damage. These gel-like materials demonstrate pH-tunable rheology and lubrication, enabling controlled flow and skin-feel. The biocompatible, photostable microgel system rivals commercial formulations as a multifunctional alternative for UV-protection.
