Description

热敏感标签及其制备和使用方法 技术领域
本发明涉及监测热敏感物品品质状态的热敏感标签、 其制备方法及用其监测热 敏感物品品质状态的方法。 具体地说, 本发明涉及利用挥发性染料制作热敏感标 签, 通过挥发性染料挥发后被吸附材料层吸附而导致的吸附材料层的颜色变化, 来 显示热敏感物品是否因受温度的影响或在某一温度下经受过长时间而变质或失效。 背景技术
一些对温度非常敏感的物品或产品需要在低温下储存或运输, 如大部分疫苗、 生物制品、 生物活性样品和一部分药品等, 以及如鲜奶、 奶制品、 鲜肉、 鲜鱼等新 鲜食品等。 长期以来, 标注有效期、 保质期或保鲜期是保证这些物品 /产品特别是药 品或食品安全使用的主要方法, 但这些方法往往无法反映那些需要在低温条件下储 存和运输的药品或食品是否在超过安全储运温度下暴露过长的时间。 采用简单廉价 的方法准确指示各种热敏感物品例如需要低温储存的新鲜食品、 疫苗 (多在 2V〜8V 之间)、 生物活性样品等是否在储存或运输过程中因为超过安全储运温度而变质、 失 效或失活, 可以更好地保证其使用安全和使用。
二十世纪九十年代, 世界卫生组织 (WHO)开始关注疫苗在冷链储运过程中受热 过度问题, 因为这会导致疫苗的免疫效果下降, 从而降低疫苗对儿童的保护作用。 随后, WHO 呼吁开发一种使用方便、 成本低廉的标签, 以准确反映疫苗从制造出 厂后经运输和储存到达终端用户过程中的热历史。 对该标签的基本要求如下: 1、 能 准确指示从而限制使用受热过度的疫苗; 2、 体积小, 能粘贴到疫苗瓶、 安瓿瓶、 注 射器等之上; 3、 从生产到实际使用的整个过程中稳定可靠; 4、 适合规模生产、 成 本低廉、 能满足联合国儿童基金会 (UNICEF)全球疫苗需求。
1996年, 美国一家名为 TempTime 的公司 (前身为 Lifelines)首先开发出能满足 WHO要求的标签, 并应用于 GlaxoSmithKline、 Sanofi-Pasteur和 Novartis三家疫 苗制造商生产的小儿麻痹症疫苗。 Temptime公司供应的标签按照使用功能主要有三 类。 第一类是临界温度指示器 (Critical Temperature Indicator, CTI), 这类标签在 温度一旦超过设定值就立即变色。 第二类是所谓临界热敏感标签 (Critical Temperature-Time Indicator, CTTI), 这种标签的变色速度有所延迟, 暴露在设定 的温度以上数分钟或数十分钟后变色。 第三类标签的响应时间需要更长一些, 称为 热敏感标签 (Time-Temperature Indicator, TTI), 是感温材料接受特定量的热量后才 变色, 这类标签才是适合指示疫苗的热历史的标签。
目前, 国际上有关这种热敏感标签的专利已经有上百个。 这些专利技术按照产 品的工作原理, 可以分为机械型、 化学型、 酶反应型、 微生物型, 聚合物型、 电子 化学型和扩散型等。 这些技术主要是基于材料的机械性质、 电性质、 扩散性质、 生 物酶反应、 聚合反应等, 比较成熟并已商品化的 ΤΤΙ标签主要有三类: 聚合物型、 酶反应型和扩散型。
聚合物型是由美国 TempTime 公司开发的, 主要是基于取代丁二炔衍生物通过 固态 1, 4-加成聚合反应, 生成有颜色的聚合物。 该聚合反应的速率随温度的升高而 加快, 不断生成的聚合物使颜色不断加深, 通过与周边颜色对比, 可以指示疫苗是 否受热过度。 这种标签需要筛选合成合适的聚合单体, 且标签制成后需要在 -18°C甚 至更低的温度下保存, 这明显增加了标签的使用成本。
早期的酶反应型指示器实质上是一类 pH值指示器, 它通过测量酶催化的脂类 底物水解释放质子 H+, 导致介质的 pH值改变, 从而引起颜色的变化, 指示温度或 受热历史。 酶促水解反应随温度升高而加快, 质子的释放速率也因此加快。 具有代 表性的是瑞典一家公司研制的 Vitsab环形指示器。
更早期的扩散型热敏感标签的代表性产品是美国 3M 公司生产的 3M Monitor Mark牌指示器, 它是基于染料在细绳上的扩散, 温度指示范围和响应期取决于染料 的类型。 另一种形式的扩散型指示器是将特定熔点的材料涂布到多孔基质上, 二者 的光折射率接近。 当涂布的材料在特定的温度以上熔化并扩散到多孔基质中, 排出 基质孔中的空气后, 基质的透光率增加, 因而也可实现颜色的变化, 显示受热过 程。
目前, WHO 将近二十种疫苗按照其热稳定性能分为 4类: 最不稳定疫苗、 不 稳定疫苗、 稳定疫苗和高稳定性疫苗, 并据此提出对相应的热敏感标签的产品技术 要求。 据此制定的技术标准考虑了现有指示器产品的性能, 并非完全以疫苗本身的 热稳定性能为依据。 事实上, 在需要冷链储运并全程监测的近二十种疫苗中, 每种 疫苗的热稳定性是不相同的, 理想的热敏感标签应该是充分反映所指示产品热稳定 性能的个性化热敏感标签, 即颜色变化的速度及其温度效应与所指示的产品失效过 程尽量一致。
为此, 本领域仍然需要可用于监测热敏感物品热历史的热敏感标签和方法, 以 方便地用于热敏感物品的储运监测, 并且能够准确指示热敏感物品是否已经失效或 变质, 尤其是在使用之前热敏感标签自身能够常温保存。 发明内容
本发明的一个目的是提供一种用于监测热敏感物品品质状态的热敏感标签, 将 其用于监测热敏感物品储运过程的热历史, 并指示热敏感物品是否因温度影响已经 失效或变质。 另外, 本发明的热敏感标签在使用之前能够在常温下长时间保存, 也 就是说, 本发明的热敏感标签在使用之前自身并不是热敏感的。
本发明的另一个目的是提供一种用于制备监测热敏感物品品质状态的热敏感标 签的方法。
本发明的再一个目的是提供一种用于监测热敏感物品品质状态的方法。
为此, 本发明提供了一种简单、 有效的可用于监测热敏感物品累计受热量 (即 热历史) 并预警受热过度的热敏感标签。 这种标签用于热敏感物品的储运过程监测 时, 可以知晓其累计受热量是否超出人们期待控制的范围。 另外, 本发明的热敏感 标签在使用之前对热不敏感, 也就是说, 本发明的热敏感标签能够在常温下或甚至 更高的温度下长时间储存, 并由此能够便利地运输、 分销。
本发明第一方面提供了一种用于监测热敏感物品的品质状态的热敏感标签, 包 括使用之前物理上呈相互独立的热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层两个叠层部分。 所述 热敏功能层包括: 密封膜; 在所述密封膜上的第一衬底材料层, 所述第一衬底材料 层优选由白纸、 复印纸、 或印刷纸制成, 更优选通过水性胶贴合在所述密封膜上; 挥发性染料层, 其形成于所述第一衬底材料层之上, 所述挥发性染料层的挥发过程 的活化能与所述热敏感物品的品质变化过程的活化能的差值在预定范围内, 所述挥 发性染料层优选通过将挥发性染料涂覆或浸渍在所述第一衬底材料层上而形成; 和 第一离型膜层, 其覆盖在所述挥发性染料层上, 其中所述密封膜和所述第一离型膜 层的尺寸大于所述挥发性染料层的尺寸并且将所述挥发性染料层密封在所述密封膜 和所述第一离型膜层之间。 所述吸附指示功能层包括: 第二衬底材料层, 其由透明 材料制成, 优选由聚合物膜制成; 功能指示层, 其位于所述第二衬底材料层之上并 且具有观察窗口, 在所述观察窗口的周围具有参考颜色; 吸附材料层, 其位于所述 第二衬底材料层之下并且能够吸附所述挥发性染料层中的染料, 其中所述吸附材料 层在垂直方向上与所述观察窗口交叠或重叠, 优选其尺寸大于所述观察窗口的尺 寸; 隔离层, 其由不透明材料制成并且位于所述吸附材料层之下, 所述隔离层的尺 寸大于所述观察窗口的尺寸, 优选大于或等于所述挥发性染料层的尺寸, 更优选大 于、 等于或小于所述吸附材料层的尺寸, 并且所述隔离层能够扩散通过所述挥发性 染料; 和第二离型膜层, 所述第二离型膜层覆盖所述隔离层。
在使用时, 首先剥离第一离型膜层和第二离型膜层, 将所述吸附指示功能层的 隔离层对准所述热敏功能层的挥发性染料层, 将吸附材料层、 隔离层和挥发性染料 层封闭在所述密封膜和所述第二衬底材料层之间; 然后将所述密封膜贴覆在所述热 敏感物品上; 或者, 首先将所述密封膜贴覆在所述热敏感物品上, 然后剥离第一离 型膜层和第二离型膜层, 将所述吸附指示功能层的隔离层对准所述热敏功能层的挥 发性染料层, 将吸附材料层、 隔离层和挥发性染料层封闭在所述密封膜和所述第二 衬底材料层之间。
在使用时, 将本发明的热敏感标签应用到热敏感物品的一个或更多个区域中。 在该热敏感物品的储运过程中, 挥发性染料吸收热量挥发并扩散穿过隔离层被吸附 材料层吸附, 吸附材料层吸附挥发性有色染料后颜色逐渐变深, 并可以通过观察窗 观测。 吸附材料层的颜色深度与其吸附的染料量呈正相关性, 也就是说染料吸附量 与染料的挥发量呈正相关性, 而染料的挥发量与其所经历的热历史 (与热敏感物品的 劣化程度相关)呈正相关性。 针对具体的热敏感物品来选择染料的种类并结合其它方 法调控染料的挥发、 扩散和吸附的速度, 能够使得吸附材料层因吸附染料而产生变 色响应与热敏感物品的活性变化相对应, 由此可以简单地通过吸附层颜色变化而容 易地确定热敏感物品是否处于有效期或货架期内。
另外, 由于本发明的热敏感标签在应用到热敏感物品之前呈物理上相互独立的 热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层两个叠层部分, 并且在本发明的热敏功能层中的所述 挥发性染料层在使用之前被密封在所述密封膜和所述第一离型膜层之间, 所以本发 明的热敏感标签在使用之前对热是不敏感的。 因此, 本发明的热敏感标签在使用之 前自身能够在常温下储存并运输, 而不会影响本发明的热敏感标签的性能。
再次, 由于本发明的热敏感标签能够在使用之前即刻组合应用, 所以本发明的 热敏感标签自身不会受到热敏感标签在使用之前的储存和运输过程中的热历史的影 响, 由此本发明的热敏感标签能够更准确地反映热敏感物品所经历的热历史。
本发明的第二方面涉及应用了本发明的热敏感标签的热敏感物品。
本发明的第三方面涉及制备本发明的热敏感标签的方法。
本发明的第四方面涉及利用本发明的热敏感标签监测热敏感物品的方法。 附图说明

具体实施方式
本发明第一方面提供了一种监测热敏感物品累计受热量并预警其受热过度的热 敏感标签产品, 该标签包括使用之前物理上呈相互独立的热敏功能层和吸附指示功 能层两个叠层部分, 其中
所述热敏功能层包括:
密封膜;
在所述密封膜上的第一衬底材料层, 所述第一衬底材料层优选由白纸、 复印纸、 或印刷纸制成, 更优选通过水性胶贴合在所述密封膜上;
挥发性染料层, 其形成于所述第一衬底材料层之上, 所述挥发性染料层 的挥发过程的活化能与所述热敏感物品的品质变化过程的活化能的差值在预定范围 内, 所述挥发性染料层优选通过将挥发性染料涂覆或浸渍在所述第一衬底材料层上 而形成; 和
第一离型膜层, 其覆盖在所述挥发性染料层上, 其中所述密封膜和所述 第一离型膜层的尺寸大于所述挥发性染料层的尺寸并且将所述挥发性染料层密封在 所述密封膜和所述第一离型膜层之间,
所述吸附指示功能层包括:
第二衬底材料层, 其由透明材料制成, 优选由聚合物膜制成; 功能指示层, 其位于所述第二衬底材料层之上并且具有观察窗口, 在所 述观察窗口的周围具有参考颜色;
吸附材料层, 其位于所述第二衬底材料层之下并且能够吸附所述挥发性 染料层中的染料, 其中所述吸附材料层在垂直方向上与所述观察窗口交叠或重叠, 优选其尺寸大于所述观察窗口的尺寸;
隔离层, 其由不透明材料制成并且位于所述吸附材料层之下, 所述隔离 层的尺寸大于所述观察窗口的尺寸, 优选大于或等于所述挥发性染料层的尺寸, 更 优选大于、 等于或小于所述吸附材料层的尺寸, 并且所述隔离层能够扩散通过所述 挥发性染料; 和
第二离型膜层, 所述第二离型膜层覆盖所述隔离层。
在使用时, 剥离第一离型膜层和第二离型膜层, 将所述吸附指示功能层的隔离 层对准所述热敏功能层的挥发性染料层, 将吸附材料层、 隔离层和挥发性染料层封 闭在所述密封膜和所述第二衬底材料层之间; 然后将所述密封膜贴覆在所述热敏感 物品上; 或者, 将所述密封膜贴覆在所述热敏感物品上, 然后剥离第一离型膜层和 第二离型膜层, 将所述吸附指示功能层的隔离层对准所述热敏功能层的挥发性染料 层, 将吸附材料层、 隔离层和挥发性染料层封闭在所述密封膜和所述第二衬底材料 层之间。
在使用时, 所述热敏功能层中的挥发性染料在受热条件下 (例如在期望处置的温 度情况下, 例如在期望的贮藏和 /或运输的温度情况下, 例如在处置温度意外升高的 情况下, 例如在加速试验期望的处置温度情况下, 例如在加速试验期望的处置温度 为 25°C和 /或 37°C的情况下)会挥发。 挥发的染料扩散通过隔离层后, 被所述吸附材 料层中的吸附材料不可逆地吸附, 吸附材料层吸附挥发的染料后颜色逐渐变深 (例 如图 1中所示的吸附材料层 22中的吸附指示区 21中的颜色变深) , 可以通过参考 指示层的观察窗口观测。 吸附材料层的颜色深度与染料的吸附量呈正相关性, 后者 又与热敏感物品所吸收的热量呈正相关性。
通过利用上述根据本发明的热敏感标签, 所监测热敏感物品的累计热历史能够 用吸附材料层的颜色深度直观地并且简便地表征。 在一个实施方案中, 该颜色深度 可进一步用色差 AE*ab的变化表征。 在一个实施方案中, 吸附材料层颜色变化速率可 由设定的色差变化范围除以达到所述色差变化范围所需的时间表征。 在一个实施方 案中, 颜色变化速率随温度的变化服从 Arrhenius 方程, 可以用由该方程得到的活 化能 Ea表征。
本发明第二方面提供了制作所述热敏感标签使用的挥发性染料, 优选为有色挥 发性染料。 根据本发明, 优选的挥发性染料是下式 I的蓝油烃或其衍生物:
Figure imgf000010_0001
其中,
Rl包括但不限于氢、 卤素、 d_6直链或支链垸基、 d_6直链或支链垸氧基、 d_6 直链或支链垸基羟基、 -COR2、 -COOR2;
R2选自氢、 d_6直链或支链垸基 (例如甲基、 乙基、 正丙基、 异丙基、 正丁基、 仲丁基、 叔丁基、 正戊基、 异戊基、 新戊基、 正己基等)、 d_6直链或支链垸基胺基 (例如甲基胺基、 乙基胺基、 正丙基胺基、 异丙基胺基、 正丁基胺基、 仲丁基胺基、 叔丁基胺基、 正戊基胺基、 异戊基胺基、 新戊基胺基、 正己基胺基等)。
在一个实施方案中, 所述 R1 选自氢、 -COH、 CH2OH、 -COOR2, R2 选自 氢、 甲基、 乙基、 正丙基、 异丙基、 正丁基、 仲丁基、 叔丁基。
根据本发明的一个实施方案, 所述挥发性染料层可以包含蓝油烃或其衍生物的 一种或更多种 (例如两种、 三种、 或三种以上) 的混合物。
根据本发明的一个实施方案, 所述的挥发性染料层中还可以包括一种或多种挥 发助剂, 所述挥发助剂可以是各种可调控染料挥发速度及其温度效应的易挥发物 质。 在一个优选实施方案中, 所述挥发助剂可以是各种易挥发化合物, 包括但不限 于直链或支链或环垸烃或芳香烃 (包括但不限于萘、 蒽), 各种直链或支链或芳香或环 醇 (包括但不限于丁四醇、 月桂醇、 十三醇、 十四醇、 十五醇、 软脂醇、 十七醇、 硬 脂醇等), 各种直链或支链或芳香或环链羧酸 (包括但不限于马来酸、 富马酸、 月桂 酸、 十三垸酸、 豆蔻酸、 十五垸酸、 棕榈酸、 肥酸、 癸二酸、 十二垸二酸等), 各种 氨基酸 (包括但不限于氨基苯甲酸、 亮氨酸、 苯丙氨酸等), 各种酯类化合物 (包括但 不限于乙酸乙酯等) , 各种砜 (包括但不限于二苯基砜、 二苯基二砜、 二苄基砜、 二 丁基砜等), 也可以是各种易挥发天然物质 (包括但不限于萘、 樟脑等) 。
本发明的所述热敏感标签使用的吸附材料可以是任何能够不可逆地吸附所述挥 发性染料的材料。 在一个实施方案中, 所述的吸附材料吸附挥发性染料的速度大于 挥发性染料的挥发速度。 在一个实施方案中, 所述的吸附材料吸附挥发性染料的速 度远大于挥发性染料的挥发速度。 在一个实施方案中, 所述的吸附材料吸附挥发性 染料的速度远大于挥发性染料的挥发速度, 使得染料被吸附的速度基本上只与染料 的挥发速度有关。 在一个实施方案中, 所述的吸附材料吸附挥发性染料的速度远大 于挥发性染料的挥发速度, 使得染料的表观挥发速度只受温度 (或吸收的热量)的影 响, 而不受例如因自身挥发后所产生的饱和 /近饱和蒸气所阻碍等因素的影响。 在一 个实施方案中, 所述的吸附材料包括但不限于油性或水性不干胶、 商业不干胶纸及 不干胶胶带等。
本发明的热敏感标签使用的隔离层材料及结构不做具体限制, 只要所述隔离层 具有如下两个方面的功能即可, 首先是遮盖热敏功能层的颜色, 因此所述隔离层材 料优选是白色不透明的材料; 其次是提供染料挥发后从热敏功能层扩散到吸附材料 层的扩散通道, 优选能够同时起调控扩散速度的作用。 例如, 所述隔离层材料可以 是但不限于普通的白纸、 复印纸、 印刷纸、 不干胶标签纸等。 在一个实施方案中, 采用 60-120g/cm2的白纸作为隔离层材料。 在一个实施方案中, 采用涂敷了一定量能 不可逆吸附所述挥发性染料的不干胶的 60-120g/cm2的白纸作为隔离层材料。 在一个 实施方案中, 采用两层 60-120g/cm2的白纸中间涂敷了一定量能不可逆吸附所述挥发 性染料的不干胶的双层白纸作为隔离层材料。 这种结构的变化可以从标签使用过程 中各层的变化反映出来: 除了标签的热敏功能层呈现挥发性染料的颜色外, 使用白 纸作为隔离层的标签时只有吸附材料层能呈现挥发性染料的颜色。 使用涂敷了吸附 材料的白纸作为隔离层材料时, 吸附材料层和隔离层都会呈现挥发性染料的颜色; 使用双层白纸中间涂敷一定量吸附材料的隔离层时, 吸附材料层和隔离层的白纸之 间都呈现挥发性染料的颜色, 如此能够更有效地显现本发明的热敏感标签在使用时 的颜色变化。
本发明还提供了所述热敏感标签的生产工艺和储存方式。 根据本发明的方法, 所述的热敏感标签的生产和储存分为热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层两个独立的部 分, 包括相互独立的分别制备热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层两个叠层部分的过程。
根据本发明, 所述的热敏功能层的制备过程包括: 提供密封膜, 在所述密封膜 上提供第一衬底材料, 优选由白纸、 复印纸、 或印刷纸制成的第一衬底材料, 更优 选通过利用水性胶将所述第一衬底材料贴合在所述密封膜上; 在第一衬底材料上形 成挥发性染料层, 优选通过将挥发性染料涂覆或浸渍在所述第一衬底材料上来形 成, 所述挥发性染料层的挥发过程的活化能与所述热敏感物品品质变化过程的活化 能的差值在预定范围内; 在所述挥发性染料层上覆盖第一离型膜, 其中所述密封膜 和所述第一离型膜层的尺寸大于所述挥发性染料层的尺寸并且将所述挥发性染料层 密封在所述密封膜和所述第一离型膜层之间, 从而形成热敏功能层。
在一个实施方案中, 通过卷对卷的生产方式, 将 60-120g/cm2的白纸涂敷一层不 吸附所述热敏功能材料的水性胶, 再贴合到聚合物薄膜上; 聚合物薄膜的另一面在 白纸贴合之前或之后涂敷一层不干胶, 用于使用时通过该不干胶将标签粘贴到所述 热敏感物品上, 在使用前不干胶面用离型膜保护。 在一个实施方案中, 通过卷对卷 的生产方式将所述的热敏功能材料通过浸渍的方法涂敷到所述衬底的白纸一面, 将 热敏功能材料溶解在合适的有机溶剂 (如乙醇、 丙酮、 乙醚、 石油醚、 乙酸乙酯 等) 中, 浸渍或涂敷时优选的材料浓度是 200-400g/L, 优选的衬底材料走行速度是 3-30m/分钟。 在一个实施方案中, 将涂敷上挥发性染料的材料收卷后按照标签要求 的尺寸模切分条, 再密封包装储存。 在一个实施方案中, 模切的热敏功能材料衬底 的尺寸是 5-15 mm, 优化的尺寸是 8-12 mm。 在一个实施方案中, 模切的聚合物薄 膜尺寸是 8-30 mm, 优化的尺寸是 10-20 mm。
根据本发明, 所述的吸附指示功能层的制造过程包括: 提供由透明材料形成的 第二衬底材料, 优选由聚合物膜制成的第二衬底材料; 在所述第二衬底材料上形成 功能指示层, 所述功能指示层具有观察窗口并且在所述观察窗口的周围具有参考颜 色; 在所述第二衬底材料下形成吸附材料层, 所述吸附材料层能够吸附所述挥发性 染料层中的染料, 并且所述吸附材料层在垂直方向上与所述观察窗口交叠或重叠, 优选其尺寸大于所述观察窗口的尺寸; 在所述吸附材料层下由不透明材料形成隔离 层, 所述隔离层的尺寸大于所述观察窗口的尺寸, 优选大于或等于所述挥发性染料 层的尺寸, 更优选大于、 等于或小于所述吸附材料层的尺寸, 所述隔离层能够扩散 通过所述挥发性染料; 和在所述隔离层下覆盖第二离型膜, 以形成吸附指示功能 层。
根据本发明, 隔离层、 吸附材料层、 功能指示层构成标签的另一个独立部分, 称为吸附指示功能层。 在一个实施方案中, 吸附材料使用能不可逆吸附所述挥发性 染料的透明不干胶, 不干胶涂敷在透明的聚合物薄膜例如塑料薄膜上, 使用前不干 胶面用离型膜保护。 在一个实施方案中, 功能指示层使用涂敷不干胶的纸, 纸的颜 色为参考终点的颜色, 通过卷对卷模切形成圆形或方形或其它几何形状的观察窗 口。 在一个实施方案中, 通过卷对卷的生产方式, 将功能指示层贴合到第二衬底材 料的未施加吸附材料的一面。 在一个实施方案中, 通过卷对卷的生产方式, 将标签 尺寸要求的隔离层模切贴合到吸附材料层上, 并用离型膜保护。 在一个实施方案 中, 将吸附指示功能层收卷后按照标签要求的尺寸模切分条, 再包装储存。 在一个 实施方案中, 模切的观察窗口的尺寸是 3-10 mm, 优化的尺寸是 4-6 mm。 在一个实 施方案中, 模切的隔离层尺寸和形状与热敏功能层中的挥发性染料层的尺寸一致。 在一个实施方案中, 模切的隔离层尺寸大于热敏功能层中的挥发性染料层的尺寸。 在一个实施方案中, 模切的吸附指示功能层尺寸与热敏功能层尺寸一致。 在一个实 施方案中, 模切的吸附指示功能层尺寸大于热敏功能层尺寸。 在一个实施方案中, 模切的吸附指示功能层尺寸小于热敏功能层尺寸。
本发明第六方面提供了所述热敏感标签的使用方法。 在一个实施方案中, 将热 敏功能层粘贴到所述的热敏感物品的包装容器的合适位置, 优选通过首先剥离位于 热敏功能层下部的离型膜, 然后通过所暴露出的位于密封膜下的不干胶层将热敏功 能层粘贴到所述的热敏感物品的包装容器的合适位置; 然后再剥离吸附指示层的离 型膜保护层和热敏功能层顶部的离型膜保护层, 将隔离层和热敏功能层对准, 利用 吸附指示层的不干胶将两部分贴紧密封。 在一个实施方案中, 先剥离吸附指示层的 离型膜保护层和热敏功能层的顶部离型膜保护层, 将隔离层和热敏功能层对准, 利 用吸附指示层的不干胶将两部分贴紧密封; 再将热敏功能层底部的保护不干胶层的 离型膜剥离, 然后利用所出的不干胶层将整个标签粘贴到所述的热敏感物品的包装 容器的合适位置。 由此, 在监测热敏感物品受热量或者受温度影响程度的情况下, 例如贮藏和 /或运输过程中, 挥发性染料处于由所述密封膜和第二衬底材料构成的密 闭体系中而不外逸, 从而因遇热量 /温度变化而挥发的染料基本上完全被吸附到所述 吸附材料中。 根据本发明, 在所述监测热敏感物品结束受热量或者受温度影响时, 例如在经过需要的贮藏和 /或运输过程之后, 可以通过标签的观察窗口观察或测定吸 附材料层的颜色深度。 颜色的深度与所述热敏感物品的累计热历史之间呈正相关。 因此, 在一个实施方案中, 所述热敏感物品的累计热历史可由本发明的热敏感标签 的吸附材料层的颜色来直观地表征。
本发明还提供了利用本发明的热敏感标签进行监测的方法, 包括在热敏感物品 上的一个或更多个区域上应用本发明的热敏感标签, 在需要时通过观察窗口观察所 述吸附材料层的颜色, 如果该颜色比所述参考颜色深, 则所述热敏感物品已经失 效; 如果该颜色比所述参考颜色浅, 则表明所述热敏感物品尚未失效。
在一个实施方案中, 该方法包括以下步骤:
(i)提供一热敏感物品, 确定该热敏感物品在其期望处置 (例如贮藏和 /或运输, 或 者稳定性加速试验)的温度下保持有效品质状态所能持续的时间 (在本发明中可以指所 能持续的最长时间, 亦可称为有效期, 可以 tl表示), 并据此确定制作所述热敏感标 签的热敏功能层的材料和吸附指示功能层材料及其结构 (例如通过选择不同的挥发 性染料来获得不同的挥发性, 或者通过选择不同的隔离层材料来获得挥发性染料的 不同的扩散通过速率, 或者通过选择不同的吸附材料来获得不同的吸附速率) , 按 照本发明的方法制作热敏感标签的热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层。
(ii)按照本发明的方法将热敏感标签的热敏功能层和吸附指示功能层对准密封贴 紧, 用色差计测量观察窗口的起始色差 (此时无染料挥发和吸附, 观察窗口的初始颜 色 /色差可以表示为 co)。 将标签置于期望处置 (例如贮藏和 /或运输, 或者稳定性加速 试验)的温度下 (在本发明中可以 T1表示)储存, 定时记录观察窗口的色差。 作色差随 时间的变化曲线, 找到所述热敏感物品储存有效期 tl时间下的色差 (此时观察窗口的 颜色 /色差可以表示为 Cl), 将之作为参考颜色。 将色差的变化 (C1-C0) 除以实现 所述色差变化所需的时间得到该处置温度 T1下色差变化的速率。
(iii)在一个实施方案中, 在不同的处置温度下储存所述热敏感标签, 定时记录观 察窗口的色差。 作色差随时间的变化曲线, 找到所述处置温度下观察窗口颜色到达 终点色差所需的时间, 将该时间与所述热敏感物品在该处置温度下的有效期对比, 理想情况下, 两个时间应该尽可能接近。
(iv)将色差的变化 (C1-C0 ) 除以不同处置温度下实现所述色差变化所需的时间 tl, 得到不同处置温度 T1下色差变化的速率。 取所述不同处置温度下色差变化速率 的对数, 以该对数值作纵坐标, 所述处置温度 (热力学温度) 的倒数作横坐标作曲 log k =— ― H- log A
线, 原理上基于 Arrhenius方程 2'303 T , 其中包括活化能 E、 速率常数 k、 热力学温度 T 等关键参数, 可以得到所述热敏感标签到达所述终点颜 色的活化能。 理想情况下, 该活化能应该与所述热敏感产品的失效活化能接近。

A、 热敏感标签的实例
本发明利用物质的挥发性质制作热敏感标签, 通过受热一挥发一吸附过程, 实 现所需的颜色变化效果。 本发明人设计的一种示例性的热敏感标签的结构及其工作 原理示于图 1和图 2中。
参见图 1 所示截面图, 其中描绘了本发明的一种热敏感标签, 其由两部分组 成, (a) 部分是热敏功能层 1, (b) 部分是吸附指示功能层 2, 两部分分别制作储 藏, 使用时合二为一, 粘贴到待监测的热敏感物品的容器或包装表面。
在热敏功能层 1 中, 衬底材料层 10 的下面涂敷一层水性胶 12, 再贴合到密封 膜 13上, 由于密封膜 13不可透过染料所以阻止染料向下扩散污染热敏感物品。 密 封膜 13的下面再涂敷一层不干胶 14, 并用离型膜 15保护。 在衬底材料层 10上面的 功能部位涂敷一层具有特定挥发性能的有色挥发性染料作为热敏功能材料, 形成本 发明中的热敏功能层 11。 所用挥发性染料挥发的速度及其温度效应与所指示的产品 变质或失效的速度及其温度效应尽量一致。 热敏功能层制作干燥后密封保存, 密封 性能保证热敏功能层可以在室温下储存和运输。
在吸附指示功能层 2中, 衬底材料层 20使用透明塑料薄膜, 在衬底膜的上面贴 合不干胶纸, 贴合前不干胶纸印刷参考颜色 25和适当的产品信息 (例如该标签适用 的热敏感物品种类)或标签使用信息 (例如在需要利用标签判断热敏感物品是否失效时 如何操作的信息), 并通过模切形成圆形或方形或其它几何形状的观察窗口 24。 在衬 底材料层 20 的下面, 印刷或涂渍一层可以有效吸附挥发的热敏功能染料的吸附材 料, 形成吸附材料层 22。 在本实施例中使用能不可逆吸附挥发性染料的透明不干 胶。 在对应于指示窗口部位, 模切合适尺寸的隔离层 23并直接贴合到作为吸附材料 的不干胶上。 挥发性染料受热挥发后扩散通过隔离层被吸附层吸附, 使吸附层的颜 色不断变深 21。
图 2示出了从俯视的角度观察本发明热敏感标签在使用过程中吸附指示层 21相 对于参考颜色层 25的变化过程, 说明本发明利用材料的挥发性能制作热敏感标签, 通过受热一挥发一吸附过程, 实现标签指示部位颜色的变化, 显示使用该热敏感标 签的产品是否因受热过度而变质或失效。
在热敏感标签与热敏感物品组合使用过程中, 参考颜色层 25的颜色深度不变, 而吸附材料层的吸附指示区 21的颜色深度会因吸附受热挥发的染料而变深。 变深的 速度受温度的影响。 即使是在热敏感物品规定期望的温度下, 挥发性染料层 11亦有 一定程度的挥发, 吸附层的颜色也相应缓慢变深。 例如对于 2-8°C贮藏效期 2年的药 品, 该药品严格在 2-8°C贮藏 2年后, 吸附层 21会因吸附缓慢挥发的染料而渐渐变 深, 此时其颜色会比参考颜色层 25浅一些, 表明该药品在 2-8°C贮藏 2年后仍然是 合格的。 贮藏时间继续延长后, 吸附指示层 21 会因继续吸附挥发的染料而继续变 深, 此后其颜色会比参考颜色层 25基本接近或更深, 表明药品已过有效期。 这个过 程亦是设计挥发性染料层 11 的材料种类以及参考颜色层 25 的颜色深度的一种实施 方案。 本文还介绍了加速方式的实施方案。 B、 热敏感标签的参考颜色层的颜色确定
根据图 1 所示的结构制作原型热敏感标签后, 在相应的恒温条件下 (例如 5°C、 10°C、 25°C和 /或 37°C等), 使用比色计测量热敏感标签的功能部位即观察窗口的色 差随时间的变化, 可以得到热敏感标签的变色速度及其温度效应。
使用比色计可以将颜色的变化数字化。 使用比色计测量颜色变化时, 先定义一 个色空间如 L*a*b*色空间 (亦称为 CIELAB色空间)。 在这个色空间中, L*代表亮 度; a*和 b*是色度坐标, 表示色彩方向; +a*表示红色方向, -a*表示绿色方向, +b*表示黄色方向, -b*表示蓝色方向, 中心无色。 当 a*和 b*值增加并从中心移出 时, 色饱和度增加。 在这个色空间中, 色差可以用单一的数值表示:
AE*ab = [ (AL*)2 + (Aa*)2 + (Ab*)2 5 其中, 为亮度的变化, Δίΐ*为沿红色 -绿色色轴的变化, Ab*为沿黄色-蓝色色 轴的变化。 使用如 Minolta CR-310 Chroma Meter Colorlite Sph860等比色计定量 化色彩, 就可以定量化色差, 对制作的热敏感标签的变色功能进行评价并确定终点 色差。 色差测量以白色衬底如 A4纸作为参考, 标签启用时, 通过观察窗口测量起始 色差。 将标签至于期望处置的温度下储存, 定时记录观察窗口的色差。 作色差随时 间的变化曲线, 找到所述热敏感物品在所述处置温度下储存有效期 tl 时间下的色 差, 将之作为参考颜色, 印刷标签的参考颜色。
C、 以具体实例说明本发明热敏感标签的制作和应用
实施例 1:
使用蓝油烃 (C15H18) 作为热敏感标签的热敏功能材料, 以 60g/cm2的白纸 (双 胶纸, 北京鑫奥鹏科技有限公司) 作为热敏功能层的衬底, 以聚合物 (PP) 塑料膜 作为密封膜, 并且使用商用离型膜 (PET 离型膜, 苏州达万塑胶电子有限公司) , 按照本发明的方法制备热敏功能层。 以涂覆了透明不干胶 (PET背胶透明片 PF04, 上海虎迈复合材料有限公司) 的塑料薄膜作为吸附指示功能层的衬底材料层和吸附 材料层, 以 60g/cm2的白纸作为隔离层, 并且使用商用离型膜, 以不干胶纸作为功 能指示层材料, 根据本发明的方法制备吸附指示功能层。 将标签的热敏功能层和吸 附指示层合二为一密封贴紧, 将密封的样品置于 25°C恒温条件下。 放置特定时间 后, 观察记录热敏感标签的颜色。 图 3是热敏感标签在 25°C恒温条件下放置 0-10小 时的颜色记录, 吸附指示层的颜色随着储存时间的延长不断变深。 实施例 1:
图 4是将实施例 1制作的热敏感标签放在 45°C、 37°C、 25°C和 5°C下储存, 利 用色差计 (Colorlite Sph860) 定时记录观察窗口的色差, 得到不同温度下色差 AE*ab 随时间 t 的变化。 起点色差 AE*ab=4-5, 通过选取适当的终点色差, 可以得到该热敏 感标签的变色时间和速度。 如终点色差定为 AE*ab=40 时, 在 45°C、 37°C、 25°C和 5°C下到达终点的时间分别为 1.5小时、 3小时、 8小时、 77小时, 再由 Arrhenius 方程可以推导出其变化过程对应的活化能, 活化能约为 56.4 kJ/mol (图 5), 从而得到 热敏感标签变色过程温度效应的表征参数。 实施例 3:
以与实施例 1 类似的方式制造本发明的热敏感功能标签, 不同之处在于改变隔 离层材料及其结构, 以调控所述热敏感标签在不同处置温度下的颜色变化速度。 具 体地, 以蓝油烃作为热敏感标签的热敏材料, 隔离层分别采用 60g/cm2 白纸 (纸) 、 双层 60g/cm2白纸 (纸 +纸) 、 单层 60g/cm2白纸涂一定量的不干胶 (纸 + 胶) 、 双层 60g/cm2白纸之间涂一定量的不干胶 (纸 +胶 +纸) , 按照实施例 1 的方 法制作热敏感标签, 将标签的热敏功能层和吸附指示层合二为一密封贴紧, 将密封 的样品置于 25°C恒温条件下, 利用色差计定时记录观察窗口的色差, 得到的色差 AE*ab随时间 t的变化如图 6所示: 使用不同隔离层的热敏感标签到达特定的终点的 时间不同。 实施例 4:
以与实施例 1 类似的方式制造本发明的热敏感功能标签, 不同之处在于通过选 用不同的热敏材料或其组合, 以调控所述热敏感标签在不同处置温度下的颜色变化 速度及其活化能。 图 7 是选用 Rl=COOCH3取代的蓝油烃衍生物作为热敏功能材 料, 按照实施例 1 的方法制作热敏感标签, 将标签的热敏功能层和吸附指示层合二 为一密封贴紧, 在 55°C、 45°C、 37°C、 和 25 °C下储存, 利用色差计定时记录观察窗 口的色差, 得到不同温度下的色差 AE*ab随时间 t的变化, 标签的起点色差 AE*ab=4- 5。 通过选取适当的终点色差, 可以得到该热敏感标签的变色时间和速度。 如终点色 差定为 AE*ab=40时, 在 55°C、 45°C、 37°C、 和 25°C下到达终点的时间分别为 27小 时、 65小时、 136小时、 和 421小时, 由此再由 Arrhenius 方程可以推导出其变化 过程对应的活化能, 活化能约为 77.0 kJ/mol (图 8), 从而得到热敏感标签变色过程温 度效应的表征参数。 可以看到, 用 Rl=COOCH3取代的蓝油烃衍生物制作的热敏感 标签, 其响应时间和活化能都不同于用蓝油烃制作的热敏感标签。 实施例 5:
以与实施例 1类似的方式, 分别选用蓝油烃、 Rl=COOCH3、 COOCH(CH3)2、 COOC(CH3)3、 CHO 取代的蓝油烃衍生物作为热敏功能材料制作的热敏感标签, 在 37°C下储存时色差随时间的变化 (图 9 ) , 可以看到到达相同色差终点时不同热敏 材料的标签需要的时间不同。 实施例 6:
以与实施例 1 类似的方式制造本发明的热敏感功能标签, 不同之处在于通过选 用不同的吸附材料以调控热敏感标签的变色速度及其温度效应。 图 10是参考实施例 1 的方法, 以蓝油烃为热敏功能材料, 选用五种不同的吸附材料制作热敏感标签, 在相同温度环境下热敏感标签的吸附指示层色差随时间的变化速度呈现显著的不 同。
上述示例性的描述和示例性实施例对本发明的保护范围不构成任何限制。 凡采 用等同变换或者等效替换而形成的技术方案, 或者使用不同的工艺或配方, 按照本 发明的技术方案或构想制备的热敏感标签, 均落在本发明权利保护范围之内。
