Description

FILM CONTAINING ALGINATE MEMBRANE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF THE SAME OUND OF THE INVENTION The t invention s to a film containing at least one alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same. The film includes a film carrier and an alginate membrane. The film carrier absorbs liquid. At least a layer of [0 alginate solution and a layer of slat water solution containing divalent metal ions are coated on a surface of the film r by two separate and continuous processes. Then crosslinking occurs between the two solutions on the surface of the film carrier to produce the film containing an alginate membrane.
Alginic acid is a natural copolymer, easily reacted with metal ions from salts to form s kinds of alginate for commercial uses. The water-soluble sodium alginate reacts with double charged calcium ion (Ca2+) from salts so as to form insoluble calcium alginate gel.
Alginate products for commercial use include sodium alginate, potassium alginate, um alginate, etc, being applied to wound dressings or facial masks. There are l methods for making alginate gels ble now, including: (1) dialysis sion method: this is the most commonly used method. The alginate solution is gelled by diffusion of calcium ions from an outer reservoir. (2) in situ gelling: a calcium salt with limited solubility is mixed with a sodium alginate solution and then a slowly acting acid is added into the mixture. Due to the acid, the calcium ions are released to IO cross-link the alginate molecules so as to form calcium te gel. (3) cooling method: at high temperature, calcium ions are unable to bond with alginic acid. Thus dissolve sodium alginate and calcium salts in hot solution. Then allow the solution to set and form gel by cooling. (4) crosslinking method: the hydrogen groups contained in alginate molecules are cross-linked by epichlorohydrin (ECH) so as to form gel insoluble in solution.
Now the alginate or r materials have been applied to wound dressings or facial masks, as the alginate revealed in US 6,080,420, US 6,258,995, US 6,203,845, US 6,201,164, US 6,372,248, US 6,326,524, US 5,144,016, US 5,230,853, US ,622,666, US 5,660,857, US 957, GB 9419572, GB 9501514, GB 9516930, PCT/ GB 9502284 (WO96/10106) PCT/ GB 9601719 (WO97/03710) PCT/ GB 9701098 (WO97/3978l) PCT/ DK 9700292 , (W098/ 02196) , /072817, TW 95218502, TW201100119A1, TW 1265814, etc. r, most of these prior arts focus on components of the materials or percent by weight of the IO components. The problems occur or practical requirements during manufacturing of the alginate membrane have not been ned, especially how to mass e the alginate membrane or how to reduce manufacturing cost of the alginate membrane.
Thus there is a need to provide a film containing an alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same related to water—soluble sodium alginate or potassium alginate for ing the performance and applications of the film.
The manufacturers in this industry have more options.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a film containing at least one alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same. The film includes a film carrier and at least one alginate membrane. The film r can be non-woven fabric (non-woven cloth), textile, a porous sponge film, or a plastic film. The film r is made from synthetic fibers, natural fibers, one kind of high molecular polymers or their ations. The synthetic fibers include hylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, acrylics, polypropylene (PP), poly lactic acid (PLA), etc. The natural fibers include cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. The te membrane is a hydrogel complex membrane having a network structure, formed by following steps: provide an alginate solution containing a certain weight of sodium alginate or potassium alginate (in weight t, wt%) and a salt water solution containing a certain weight of divalent metal ions such as calcium ions. The salt can be calcium lactate, calcium chloride, calcium ate, poly-glutamic acid calcium, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate, etc. Then at least one surface of the 73603‘3_l (GHMmeu) PQSOSINZ RDAULTON film carrier is coated with a layer of the te solution and a layer of the salt water solution by at least two separate and continuous processes.
There is no restriction on the order of the g solution. Then crosslinking occurs between alginate and the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution, on the surface of the film carrier or infiltrating into the film carrier to form a hydrogel x membrane having a network structure. Thus a film containing an alginate membrane is mass-produced continuously and quickly. Therefore, the tion cost is reduced due to mass-production of the alginate membrane.
The present invention also relates to a film containing at least one alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same. When the surface of the film carrier (such as ven fabric ), textile porous sponge film, etc.) is a rough surface, the alginate membrane formed is connected to the film carrier tightly, not separated easily. When the surface of the film carrier (such as plastic film) is a smooth surface, the alginate membrane formed is able to be separated from the film carrier and used for following processes. 73609‘3_| (GI-Mums) P9503LNZ RDAULTON The present invention also relates to a film containing at least one alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same. After the crosslinking reaction being completed, one or two es of the film carrier is/are spray-coated continuously with a layer of alginate solution and a layer of salt water solution in sequence. Thus the thickness of the alginate membrane formed is easy to be increased and controlled by at least one further crosslinking reaction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFFERED EMBODIMENT Refer to Fig. l and Fig. 2, a film 1 containing at least one IS alginate membrane ing to the t invention includes a film carrier 10, and at least one te membrane 20.The film carrier 10 is a carrier that absorbs liquid. The film carrier can be a plastic film with a smooth surface or a thin layer with a rough surface such as non-woven fabric (cloth), fabric or porous sponge. Moreover, the film carrier 10 is made from synthetic fibers, natural , one kind of high molecular polymers or combinations of at least two kinds of high molecular polymers. The tic fibers include but not limited to polyethylene terephthalate (PET), nylon, acrylics, polypropylene (PP), poly lactic acid (PLA), etc. The natural fibers include but not limited to cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc. A surface 11 of the film carrier 10 can be a rough surface or a smooth e according to users’ needs or applications. lO The alginate membrane 20 is a hydrogel complex membrane having a network structure. Refer to Fig. 3, the alginate ne 20 is produced by following steps: providing an alginate solution 21 containing a certain weight t (wt%) of sodium alginate or potassium alginate [5 and a salt water solution 22 containing a certain weight percent (wt%) of divalent metal ions such as calcium ions; coating a layer of the alginate solution 21 and a layer of the salt water on 22 evenly on at least one surface 11 ofa film carrier 10 by two separate processes carried out successively; crosslink alginate in the alginate solution 21 with divalent metal ions in the salt water solution 22 on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10 so as to form a hydrogel complex membrane (20) with a network structure on the surface 11 ofthe film carrier 10 (as shown in Fig. 1), or filtrating into the e 11 ofthe film carrier 10 (as shown in Fig. 2). As shown in Fig. l and Fig. 2, the alginate ne 20 is formed by alginate (represented by solid lines) crosslinked with divalent metal ions sented by dotted lines) to have a crosslinked network structure.
In the present invention, the surface 20 of the film carrier is used to load the te solution 2] and the salt water solution 22 so that an alginate membrane 20 such as a calcium alginate membrane is mass-produced on the surface 11 of the IS film carrier 10 fast and uously. Therefore, the manufacturing cost is reduced due to mass-production of the alginate membrane.
Refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, a manufacturing method of the film 1 containing at least one alginate membrane of the present invention includes following steps: (a) providing a film carrier 10 that absorbs liquid, an alginate solution 21 containing a certain percent of sodium te or potassium alginate by weight (wt%) and a salt water solution 22 containing a certain t of divalent metal ions such as calcium ions by weight(wt%); (b) using at least two separate and successive ses to coat a layer of the alginate solution 21 and a layer of the salt water solution 22 respectively on at least one e 11 of the l0 film r 10; (c) crosslinking the alginate in the alginate solution 21 with the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution 22 on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10 so as to form a hydrogel complex membrane 20 having a network structure, formed on IS the surface 11 of the film carrier 10, as show in Fig. 1 or filtrating into the surface 1], as shown in Fig. 2.
In the above step (b), the order of coating the alginate solution 21 or the salt water solution 22 on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10 on at least one surface 11 ofthe film carrier is not limited.
Refer to Fig. 5, in the step (b), firstly at least one surface 11 of the film carrier 10 is coated with a layer of the te solution 21. Then a layer ofthe salt water solution 22 is coated over the layer of the alginate solution 21. While crosslinking the alginate in the alginate solution 21 with the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution 22 on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10, the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution 22 IO generally infiltrate further into an inner surface of the surface 11 for inking of the te. Thus a hydrogel complex membrane 20 with a network structure shown in Fig. 2 is formed above or in the surface 11 of the film carrier 10. In the Fig. 2, the alginate ne 20 is infiltrated into an infiltration interface 12. The position of the infiltration interface 12 in the surface layer 11 ofthe film carrier 10 is not limited, depending on the relative concentration of the alginate solution 21 and the salt water solution 22. In this embodiment, the alginate membrane 20 is not separated from the film carrier 10 easily.
Refer Fig. 6, in the step (b), at least one surface 11 of the film carrier 10 is coated with a layer ofthe salt water solution 22 and then a layer of an alginate solution 21 is coated over the layer ofthe salt water solution 22. While crosslinking the alginate in the alginate on 21 with the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution 22 on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10, the alginate in the alginate solution 21 is firstly crosslinked over the surface 11 ofthe film carrier 10 to form a hydrogel complex membrane (20) with larger density. Thus the infiltration interface 12 is overlapped with the surface 11, not rating into the inner surface ofthe surface 11, to crosslink with the divalent metal ions. The hydrogel complex membrane (20) having a k ure is only formed on the upper surface 11 ofthe film carrier 10, as shown in Fig. 1. The hydrogel complex membrane (20) is the alginate membrane 20 formed on the upper surface 11 ofthe film carrier 10 in Fig. 1.
In this embodiment, the te membrane 20 is easy to be separated from the film carrier 10.
Moreover, for convenience of arrangement of coating equipments and coating processes, in the step (b), the first coating is performed by g the film carrier 10 into the solution while the second coating is run by spray coating. Take the equipment arrangement and coating procedures shown in Fig. 3 as an example. A roller of film r 10 absorbing liquid and having certain length is transported and soaked into a tank filled with an alginate solution 21 by a conveyor. This is the soaking process A shown in the Fig. 3. In this embodiment, the alginate solution 21 is produced by a certain amount of sodium te dissolved in water. The weight percent of the sodium alginate in solution ranges from 0.01 to 20 wt% while 1-5 wt% is preferred. In this embodiment, an upper and a lower surfaces (11) of the film carrier 10 are evenly coated with a IS layer of sodium alginate solution (21). Then the conveyor sends the film carrier 10 already soaked with the sodium alginate solution to be coated with a layer of salt water solution 22 containing a certain weight percent of nt metal ions by a spray coating s B. In this embodiment, the salt water on 22 contains divalent calcium ions. The weight percent of the divalent metal ions in the salt water solution ranges from 0.01 to 50 wt% while l-lO wt% is preferred. The salt water solution 22 is coated over the layer of sodium alginate solution on the surface 11 of the film carrier 10 by spray coating. The salt water solution 22 ning divalent metal ions may further infiltrate into the film carrier 10 and react with the sodium alginate solution in the film r 10 for crosslinking, as shown in Fig.2.
IO Furthermore, according to the requirement of the thickness of the alginate membrane 20, a ity sets of spray g process C is designed. Each set of spray coating process C includes at least one spray coating of the alginate solution 21 Cl and at least one spray coating of the slat water solution C2.
After the completion of the spray coating process B, perform the spray coating processes of the alginate solution 21 and the salt water solution in sequence on one surface or two surfaces of the film r 10 until the alginate membrane 20 is having the thickness required.
The ure and formation ofthe film 1 containing at least one alginate membrane 20 ofthe present invention are ed in details by ing embodiments. < Embodiment 1> A film carrier 10 is non-woven fabric or cloth made from polypropylene (PP) and is used to absorb 4 wt% calcium lactate that is used as the salt water solution 22. Then 2 wt% sodium te solution used as the alginate solution 21 and having the IO thickness of 1.1mm is coated over the film carrier 10 with the calcium e. After crosslinking, a layer of the alginate membrane 20 with the thickness of about 1mm is formed on the PP non-woven . The alginate membrane 20 is a hydrogel complex membrane having a network structure. Moreover, when the PP non-woven fabric contacts the salt water solution 22 and the alginate solution 21 by a rough surface ofthe PP non-woven fabric, the alginate membrane 20 formed is connected with the non-woven fabric (the film carrier 10). When the PP non-woven fabric contacts the salt water solution 22 and the alginate solution 21 by a smooth surface of the PP non-woven fabric, the alginate membrane 20 formed is separated from the non-woven fabric (the film carrier 10). < Embodiment 2 > A film r 10 is non-woven fabric or cloth made from polypropylene (PP) and nylon and having the ess of 0.42mm. The film carrier 10 absorbing liquid is soaked into 2wt% sodium alginate solution continuously. After removing extra solution, coat 4 wt% calcium lactate solution on an upper and lower surfaces (11) of the non-woven fabric (the film carrier 10) by spray IO coating so as to produce a film 1 containing an alginate membrane 20 and having the thickness of about 0.72mm continuously. This ess of the film 1 includes the thickness of the fabric. If user wants to produce thicker te membrane 20, after the calcium lactate reacting with IS the sodium alginate, continuously coat one surface or two surfaces ofthe film 1 produced with a layer of sodium alginate solution and a layer of calcium lactate solution for crosslinking of alginate. Repeat the above procedures until the thickness of the film 1 es the required thickness. < Embodiment 3 > A film r 10 is non-woven fabric or cloth made from opylene (PP) and nylon and having the thickness of 0.42mm. The film carrier 10 absorbing liquid is soaked into 4wt% calcium e solution uously. After removing extra solution, coat 2 wt% sodium alginate solution on an upper and lower surfaces (11) of the non-woven fabric (the film carrier 10) by spray coating so as to produce a film 1 containing an alginate membrane 20 and having the thickness of about 0.72mm continuously. This thickness of the film 1 includes the IO thickness of the fabric. If user wants to produce thicker alginate membrane 20, after the sodium alginate reacting with the calcium lactate, continuously coat one e or two surfaces of the film 1 with a layer of calcium lactate solution and a layer of sodium alginate solution for crosslinking of alginate. Repeat the above procedures until the thickness ofthe film 1 achieves the required thickness.
In addition, while producing the film containing alginate membrane ofthe present ion, the alginate solution 21 can be added with other materials (additives) such as bioactive components in cosmetics or pigments, vitamins, growth s, peptides, proteins, minerals, etc. The bioactive ents include nutrients in cosmetics, essences in cosmetics, and drug solutions in cosmetics. The pigments are animal/plant extracts.
Compared with the technique available now, a film containing at least one alginate membrane and a manufacturing method of the same have following ages: (1) The film can be produced continuously and quickly.
This cial to mass-production of the alginate membrane and the manufacturing cost is reduced. (2) The film can be produced by general coating equipments so that the cost of production ents can be reduced.
IS (3) After the first crosslinking reaction being completed, at least one surface of the film carrier is spray—coated continuously with a layer of alginate solution and a layer of salt water solution in sequence. Thus a further crosslinking reaction occurs on the surface ofthe film r. The thickness ofthe alginate membrane is easy to be increased and controlled by at least one further crosslinking reaction. Therefore the performance and applications of the alginate membrane are improved.
Additional advantages and modifications will readily occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, and representative devices shown and bed herein. Accordingly, various modifications may be made without ing from the spirit or scope of the general inventive t as defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
