Fig. 3From: Progress towards a more sustainable synthetic pathway to ibuprofen through the use of solar heatingSolar reflector design. A solar reflector was designed through the repurposing of an unused satellite dishes into a reflective parabolic mirror that will serve as the sole heat source to drive synthetic chemical reactions to completion. Satellite dishes were completely covered with Metalized Mylar® tape to attain the reflective properties needed to generate heatBack to article page
