Description

Talc-loaded nano ZnO composite anti-ultraviolet agent and preparation method thereof

1. Field of the invention

The invention relates to a talc-loaded nano ZnO composite anti-ultraviolet agent and a preparation method thereof.

2. Background of the invention

2.1 ultraviolet concept

Ultraviolet (UV) is an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength of 200nm to 400 nm. The ultraviolet rays in the sunlight can be divided into three sections of long-wave ultraviolet ray UVA (320-400 nm), medium-wave ultraviolet ray UVB (280-320 nm) and short-wave ultraviolet ray UVC (200-280 nm) according to the wavelength. Proper sunlight irradiation can increase oxygen content of organism cells, reduce blood sugar and cholesterol content, and enhance human vitality. However, when the sun is excessively exposed for a long time, various skin diseases such as sunburn, freckle, acne and the like are easily induced and aggravated, and internal organs of the body are damaged in severe cases. The basic characteristics of the uv segments are now collated as shown in table 1.

TABLE 1 classification and characterization of UV

The short wave ultraviolet UVC is absorbed by the ozone layer, cannot reach the ground and has no effect on human bodies. The energy of the medium-wave ultraviolet UVB is highest, and the great part of the energy is absorbed by the skin dermis to cause the dermal blood vessels to expand and present the symptoms of red swelling, blisters and the like. If the skin is subjected to UVB irradiation for a long time, the skin can generate erythema, inflammation and skin aging, and skin cancer can be seriously caused. In daily life, 95% or more of ultraviolet rays which the skin comes into contact with are UVA, the penetration force is strong, the skin is photo-aged, skin cancer is caused, and UVA attracts people gradually in recent years.

Ultraviolet rays not only cause harm to human bodies, but also have certain damage and aging effects on coatings, plastics, printing ink and other high polymer materials, so that the high polymer materials have the phenomena of light loss, fading, yellowing, cracking, peeling, embrittlement, pulverization, strength reduction, delamination and the like. Even indoor light and sunlight transmitted through a glass window can degrade some materials.

Therefore, ultraviolet rays have considerable harm to human health, high polymer materials and the like, so that the research and application of the ultraviolet resistant agent or the ultraviolet shielding material have very important practical significance.

2.2 research and State of the Art ultraviolet Shielding materials

Since the discovery of the hazards of ultraviolet light by humans, some means have been taken to shield ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet shielding materials for human skin protection are mainly of two types: one category is ultraviolet resistant textiles including sun protection clothing, sun protection hats, sun protection gloves, and sun protection umbrellas, among others. The ultraviolet resisting paint is a kind of ultraviolet resisting paint, and is a kind of sunscreen skin care product or cosmetics used in daily life. The ultraviolet shielding material for protecting the high polymer material is mainly a filler with an ultraviolet shielding function, but the research on the aspect is relatively weak.

The anti-ultraviolet agent in skin care products or cosmetics means a substance which can effectively absorb or scatter solar radiation, can reduce damage to the skin, and can effectively absorb or scatter long-wave ultraviolet rays (UVA) and medium-wave ultraviolet rays (UVB) in sunlight. They can be divided into physical and chemical sunscreens by their protective mechanism of action, also commonly referred to as inorganic and organic sunscreens, respectively.

Chemical sunscreens (organic sunscreens), also known as uv absorbers, are primarily organic compounds which absorb harmful uv radiation. Among them, tert-butyl methoxydibenzoylmethane is the most representative UVA segment ultraviolet absorbent in the current sunscreen cosmetics, and isooctyl methoxycinnamate is the most widely used UVB segment ultraviolet absorbent in the current sunscreen cosmetics. However, organic sunscreens tend to act only in a single wavelength band (UVA or UVB) and may also decompose and lose their sunscreen effect under the action of light, with a short period of effectiveness. In contrast, inorganic sunscreens (physical sunscreens) are more stable and safer, and they achieve the goal of sunscreening by primarily scattering ultraviolet light while absorbing ultraviolet light in small amounts. Inorganic sunscreens are increasingly widely used due to their advantages of high efficiency, safety, durability, etc.

Currently inorganicSunscreens (physical sunscreens) are predominantly TiO₂And ZnO, both of which are semiconductor materials, TiO₂Mainly aiming at UVB protection, ZnO mainly shields UVA. But the sun-screening and ultraviolet screening effects of the two are closely related to the particle size or nanometer effect of the two. The results of the previous study show that when both are nanoparticles, i.e. TiO₂When the particle size is 30-50 nm (grandma et al, 1998) and the particle size of ZnO is 10-35 nm, the nano effect is prominent, and the sunscreen ultraviolet shielding effect is excellent (YaoOer et al, 2003).

Nanometer ZnO is used as a widely used physical sun-screening agent, the principle of shielding ultraviolet rays is to absorb and scatter the ultraviolet rays, and the nanometer ZnO has the characteristics of small particle size, large specific surface area, good stability, small irritation and the like; in addition to good ultraviolet shielding performance, the antibacterial ultraviolet shielding material also has the advantages of safety, stability, heat resistance, certain antibacterial property and the like, so the antibacterial ultraviolet shielding material is widely applied to the field of sunscreen skin care products or cosmetics in recent years.

However, as the nano ZnO has the characteristics of weak polarity and tiny nano particles and high surface energy, the nano particles are in a thermodynamic unstable state and tend to agglomerate, thereby limiting the exertion of the nano effect and the ultraviolet shielding effect. In addition, in the process of manufacturing skin care products or cosmetics, nano ZnO particles are difficult to disperse to the original particle size, the ultraviolet absorption effect in the UVA, UVB, and UVC bands is reduced, the transparency and ultraviolet shielding performance thereof cannot be sufficiently exhibited, and the effect as a sunscreen agent in practical use is not good. In summary, as an inorganic sunscreen agent, the nano ZnO has the following main problems:

(1) agglomeration problem: the nano ZnO has high surface energy, and the particles tend to agglomerate.

(2) The problem of delamination: the density of the emulsifier of the sunscreen product is about 0.96-1.1 g/cm³And the density of the nano ZnO is about 5.6g/cm³Therefore, when the nano ZnO with high density is mixed into the emulsifier, the nano ZnO is easy to precipitate, and the delamination phenomenon is generated. The layering phenomenon greatly limits the use efficiency of the nano ZnO material, and the nano ZnO material cannot be directly mixed with common cosmetics for use. If used alone, will also separate from the dispersion and cause delaminationLike, it should be shaken well before it can be used. This not only causes inconvenience to the user but also increases the use cost.

(3) Health problems are as follows: the nanometer ZnO in the sunscreen product is easy to gather at the horny layer of the skin of a human body, the opening of the sebaceous gland of hair follicle and the wrinkle, and the size of the facial pore of the human body is generally 20 mu m, so the nanometer ZnO is easy to block the skin pore after long-term use, is not beneficial to the secretion of sweat and is easy to cause skin infection. Furthermore, trace amounts of zinc may also be absorbed through the skin into the blood, which is very detrimental to human health, especially in sunburn and skin-damaged patients.

(4) The aesthetic problem is that: due to the aggregation of the nano ZnO, the phenomenon of unnatural whitening can be generated when the nano ZnO is smeared on the skin, and the aesthetic effect is influenced.

(5) Environmental problems: zn²⁺The dissolution and the generation of active oxygen may have certain influence on the environment and the ecosystem and are not easy to recycle.

(6) The price problem is as follows: because the nano ZnO can not be directly mixed with common cosmetics for use, in order to overcome the layering phenomenon of dispersion liquid when the nano ZnO is used alone, a small-sized special container and a device are needed in actual use, the production and use cost of physical sun-proof products is greatly increased, the market condition of the products is generally higher, and the using amount of the products is limited.

2.3 Current State of the Art for the preparation of Nano ZnO

The preparation method of nano ZnO mainly comprises three types, namely a liquid phase method, a solid phase method and a gas phase method according to different states of raw materials and preparation processes. Among them, the gas phase method is not suitable for wide application due to the disadvantages of harsh reaction conditions, high production cost, low product purity, etc. At present, the liquid phase method and the solid phase method are mainly adopted for preparing the nano ZnO, and the main advantages and disadvantages are shown in the table 2.

TABLE 2 advantages and disadvantages of the main preparation method of nano ZnO

2.4 research technical status of mineral-loaded nano ZnO composite uvioresistant agent

The problems of nano ZnO agglomeration, delamination and the like are solved, and the method can be started from two aspects: firstly, a certain preparation method is adopted to modify nano ZnO, regulate and control the shape of the nano ZnO and the like; firstly, the mineral is used as a carrier to load nano ZnO. The leading research progress of the predecessors was as follows:

US 6086666 discloses a method for preparing a flaky mineral loaded nano ZnO anti-ultraviolet material by a hydrolysis precipitation method, which is characterized in that a zinc source and a precipitator are added into an aqueous solution of minerals at a certain reaction temperature for reaction, and after a certain time, the mixture is filtered, dried and calcined to obtain the anti-ultraviolet composite material, wherein the flaky material can be muscovite, sericite, talc and kaolinite.

CN 104017393a discloses a method for preparing nano ZnO-coated sericite powder composite material by direct precipitation, which is characterized in that in an aqueous solution system, calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide is added into a mixed system of sericite powder and zinc sulfate solution to directly obtain the nano ZnO-coated sericite powder composite material. The obtained composite material has good dispersibility in an organic solvent, and has excellent uvioresistant performance and antibacterial and deodorant performance.

Gongmeizhuo, Zhengshuilin, etc. (2017) mention that the hydrolytic precipitation method is adopted to coat nano ZnO on the surface of calcined kaolin to prepare the nano ZnO/calcined kaolin composite anti-ultraviolet powder material, and the composite powder material has good anti-ultraviolet performance under the proper preparation conditions, namely, the coating amount is 8%, the reaction temperature is 90 ℃, the modification time is 10min, the pulp concentration is 10:1, and the calcination temperature is 400 ℃.

From the above description, the preparation method adopted in the prior art for the mineral-supported nano ZnO is mainly a liquid phase method. According to the search of the inventor, no technical result report for preparing the talc-loaded nano ZnO composite uvioresistant agent by adopting a room-temperature solid-phase synthesis method exists at present.

3. Technical scheme

The invention aims to prepare a composite uvioresistant agent or an ultraviolet shielding material by taking natural flaky mineral talc with a layered structure as a raw material and loading nano ZnO, so as to overcome the problems of easy agglomeration, easy delamination, poor dispersibility and the like of the existing nano ZnO, improve the sun-proof and ultraviolet shielding performances, improve the aesthetic effect, prevent the whitening phenomenon, improve the use efficiency and reduce the use cost. To achieve the above object, the following technical problems must be solved:

(1) selection of carrier mineral raw materials: the layered structure silicate minerals are of various types, and the selection conditions are as follows: has a layered structure and two-dimensional habit crystals, and mineral crystals are mainly in a fine scale shape, are non-toxic and harmless, and have rich mineral raw materials.

(2) Selecting a preparation method of nano ZnO: as shown in Table 2, several methods of the present invention have advantages and disadvantages, and the selection conditions of the preparation method of the present invention are: no toxicity and harm, convenience and feasibility and good effect.

(3) The preparation process of the room temperature solid phase synthesis method of nano ZnO comprises the following steps: on the basis of the work in the step (2), the process conditions for preparing the nano ZnO by the room-temperature solid-phase synthesis method are further determined by experiments.

(4) The preparation process of the talc-loaded nano ZnO composite uvioresistant agent comprises the following steps: on the basis of the work in the step (3), the process conditions for preparing the talc-loaded nano ZnO composite uvioresistant agent by adopting a room-temperature solid-phase synthesis method are further determined through experiments.

The specific technical scheme is as follows:

3.1 selection of Carrier mineral raw materials

Talc is a magnesium silicate mineral with 2:1 type trioctahedral lamellar structure, and has crystal chemical formula of Mg₃[Si₄O₁₀](OH)₂The theoretical chemical composition is MgO 31.72%, SiO₂63.52% and H₂And 4.76 percent of oxygen.

And the XRD analysis result is combined, so that the experimental sample is relatively pure, belongs to the talc single mineral aggregate and meets the selection condition of the carrier mineral raw material.

According to related documents, the invention adopts five methods shown in Table 2, prepares nano ZnO under optimized conditions, and further detects and analyzes the ultraviolet shielding performance of the nano ZnO by adopting an ultraviolet-visible light spectrophotometer, and the result is shown in figure 2.

According to the purpose and requirement of the invention, the ultraviolet resistant agent or the ultraviolet shielding material not only ensures higher absorbance of the ultraviolet region, but also ensures high transmittance of the visible region. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the industrial ZnO particles are coarse, and the UV shielding performance is poor, which is not satisfactory. The standard for distinguishing the ultraviolet resistance of domestic products at present is divided into the following parts according to the ultraviolet shielding rate: class a, the ultraviolet shielding rate is more than 90 percent; b level, ultraviolet shielding rate is 80-90%; c level, and the ultraviolet shielding rate is 50-80%. The ultraviolet resistant agent or ultraviolet shielding material should be selected from a class a as appropriate. As shown in figure 2, the ultraviolet screening rate of the nano ZnO prepared by the room temperature solid phase synthesis method is more than 90 percent, belongs to a grade and meets the requirement of the invention.

This is essentially coincident with the nano ZnO standard PDF card (36-1451). Considering that the characteristic peaks appearing in the whole angle diffraction range are relatively sharp, the nano ZnO sample has better crystal form and relatively complete crystallizationAnd (6) finishing. Meanwhile, no miscellaneous peak which can not correspond to the standard card appears in the diffraction pattern, which indicates that the purity of the sample is higher.
