Fullerenes absorb UV radiation and scavenge free radicals, offering photoprotection against sun damage. Functionalized fullerenes are particularly effective due to enhanced UV absorption properties.
Fullerenes, especially functionalized ones, provide photoprotection by absorbing ultraviolet (UV) radiation. This absorption helps to prevent sun damage. Additionally, fullerenes act as radical scavengers, neutralizing free radicals produced by UV exposure and further mitigating cellular damage. This dual mechanism of action offers a degree of protection against the harmful effects of sunlight.
