Background
Nano titanium dioxide (TiO 2) is a multifunctional component widely applied in the field of cosmetics, and can provide multiple functions of sun protection, modification, protection and the like for products. Firstly, by reflecting and scattering ultraviolet radiation, plays a key role in sun protection products to provide protection for the skin; secondly, titanium dioxide is also common in make-up products such as foundations, foundation pads and concealers, which smooth the skin and adjust the skin tone, due to its good hiding and ability to adjust the skin tone; thirdly, the white pigment can be used as a white pigment for eye shadow, blush, lipstick and other makeup products to increase the transparency and brightness of the color; in addition, it can improve the texture of cosmetics, provide a smooth feel, and enhance the durability of color in products such as eyeliner, eyebrow powder, etc.
On the one hand, the Ti-O bond in the TiO 2 has larger polarity, the imbalance of the Ti-O bond makes the polarity of the TiO 2 molecule very strong, the strong polarity of the molecule makes the surface of the TiO 2 easily adsorb water molecules, the polarization of the water molecules easily form surface hydroxyl groups, the hydrophilicity is strong, the water easily aggregates, the water is difficult to disperse in an organic system, and especially in emulsion products containing higher oil content, the direct addition of the uncoated titanium dioxide can lead to oil-water separation, thereby affecting the texture and stability of the products; on the other hand, the stronger ionic arrangement and binding force in the titanium dioxide crystal structure makes the feel rough, which reduces the user's desire for some cosmetics to have smooth skin feel; these problems limit the scope of application of titanium dioxide and therefore require organic coating of titanium dioxide.
The existing organic coating method mainly comprises three steps of surfactant coating, coupling agent coating and polymer coating, and compared with other coating methods, the surfactant coating method comprises physical adsorption, wherein the physical adsorption is not firmly combined with titanium dioxide compared with chemical adsorption, and excessive surfactant residues can raise the viscosity of a product; method of polymer coating may introduce additional costs and in some cases may have an impact on the feel and texture of the product; the method of coating the coupling agent is chemical adsorption, and compared with physical adsorption, the coupling agent is more firmly combined with titanium dioxide and has strong stability; compared with the coating of an organic surface by using a polymer, the coating of the coupling agent has low cost and contributes to expanding the application range. In the case of the coupling agent coating method, however, the main (1) is to prepare nanoparticles by reacting in a solution; (2) High temperature reaction with organosilanes, and (3) use of a plasma process. The method (2) and (3) are complex, consume energy, have long synthesis time and high requirements on equipment, are inconvenient to operate in a laboratory, and the method (1) is quite simple and saves time.

The reaction process needs to be subjected to heat preservation and temperature rise for many times, so that the process is more complicated while the energy consumption is high.

Table 1 shows the lipophilicity values of examples 1 to 6 in the present invention.
TABLE 1
As is clear from Table 1, the degree of lipophilicity gradually increased with increasing the amount of the silane coupling agent, and the degree of lipophilicity slightly decreased with increasing the amount of the coupling agent. The reason is that the silane coupling agent is hydrolyzed into silanol, the silanol is dehydrated and condensed into an oligomer, si-OH in the oligomer forms a hydrogen bond with-OH on the surface of TiO 2, and the silane coupling agent is dehydrated to form siloxane bonds and form monomolecular film adsorption; as the usage amount of the silane coupling agent increases, the adsorption amount increases, and the oleophilic degree increases; however, when the dosage of the silane coupling agent is too large, the siloxane anions generated by hydrolysis can generate a bridging effect with Si atoms in the silane coupling agent molecules bonded on the TiO 2 on the surface of the TiO 2, so that flocculation of TiO 2 powder is caused, and the lipophilicity of the TiO 2 is reduced.
Example 7
In example 5, the time for adding 0.5wt% hydrochloric acid was adjusted to 1h, 2h, 3h, 4h, and 5h, respectively. The values of the lipophilicity are shown in Table 2 below:
TABLE 2
As seen from table 2, the overall rule is that the lipophilicity increases and then decreases. This is probably because, in the initial stage, the degree of hydrolysis reaction is more complete with the lapse of time, thereby directly affecting the possibility and degree of the subsequent polycondensation reaction. Since more hydroxyl groups provide more opportunities for the formation of silicon oxygen bonds (Si-O-Si), but hydrolysis of the silicon monomer to silanol favors chemical bonding with hydroxyl groups on the titanium dioxide surface, the lipophilicity reaches a maximum at 4h of reaction, because-OH on the TiO2 surface is reduced, thereby increasing lipophilicity. However, if the time is too long, further reactions may be initiated. On the one hand, too long hydrolysis times may result in supersaturation of silanol groups on the surface of the inorganic particles, and these hydroxyl groups may cause aggregation between the inorganic particles through hydrogen bonding or other weak interactions, thereby reducing the effective coating rate. On the other hand, as the hydrolysis proceeds, the silanol groups formed undergo further polycondensation to form silicon-oxygen bonds (Si-O-Si). If the hydrolysis time is too long, the polycondensation reaction may occur spontaneously on the surface of the inorganic particles or between the particles, resulting in bridging between the inorganic particles or formation of a silica network, and non-uniformly coating the organic matrix.
Example 8
In example 5, the time for adding 5wt% ammonia water was adjusted to 0.5h, 2h, 3h, 4h, and 5h, respectively. The lipophilicity values are determined as shown in Table 3 below:
TABLE 3 Table 3
As seen from table 3, the overall rule is that the lipophilicity increases and then decreases. In the initial stage, the polycondensation reaction becomes more sufficient with the lapse of time. When the polycondensation time reaches 1 hour, the lipophilicity reaches the highest, and the wrapping effect is also the best. However, over time, the lipophilicity begins to decrease. The reasons for this phenomenon may be manifold. On the one hand, as the polycondensation reaction time is prolonged, large particle agglomeration or aggregation phenomenon may be formed. Too long a polycondensation reaction time can result in further condensation of silanol groups to form a larger network of siloxane bonds, thereby causing agglomeration or aggregation between inorganic particles. These large particle aggregates may reduce the dispersibility of the particles, making the organic matrix ineffective for coating the particles, resulting in a decrease in coating rate. On the other hand, the polycondensation reaction for a long time may cause a change in the structure of the coating layer, so that the coating layer becomes unstable or fragile, and is liable to be broken or detached. This exposes more of the surface of the inorganic particles, reducing the coating of the particles with the organic matrix and thus reducing the coating rate.
Example 9
The ball milling rates in the steps (3) and (4) in example 5 were adjusted to 170rpm, 370rpm, 570rpm, 770rpm and 970rpm, respectively. The lipophilicity values are shown in Table 4 below:
TABLE 4 Table 4
As seen from table 4, the overall rule is that the lipophilicity increases and then decreases. With the increase of the ball milling rate, the collision frequency and collision energy among particles are improved, so that the adsorption and coating of the surfaces of the particles and an organic matrix are promoted, the oleophilic degree is finally increased along with the increase of the ball milling rate, and the oleophilic degree (LD) can reach the maximum value of 57.8% when the ball milling rate is 370 rpm. However, as the ball milling rate continues to increase, the lipophilicity decreases. This may be due to damage to the coating caused by excessive crushing. With further increase of ball milling rate, excessive collision and breakage between particles may occur, and the coating layer on the surfaces of the particles may be damaged. When the coating layer is severely damaged, the particle surface is exposed, and the organic matrix cannot effectively coat the particles, resulting in a decrease in lipophilicity. In addition, under high-speed ball milling conditions, the coating layer on the particle surface may be reassembled and recombined to form a new coating layer structure. This may cause the original coating layer to be reassembled, losing the original coating effect, and thus reducing the coating effect.
Example 10
The percentages of hydrochloric acid added in example 5 were adjusted to 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%, 0.7%, 1.0% and 1.3%, respectively. The values of the lipophilicity are shown in Table 5 below:
TABLE 5
As seen in table 5, the overall rule is that the lipophilicity increases and then decreases. The reason may be that the acid content affects the coating rate mainly by affecting the hydrolysis rate of the silicon monomer. It is widely accepted that hydrolysis is caused by nucleophilic attack of silicon atoms by oxygen in water. Under acidic conditions, alkoxide groups are first protonated, reducing the electron density in the silicon, making it more electrophilic and therefore more vulnerable to water, thereby facilitating the hydrolysis process of the silicon monomer. The degree of Lipophilicity (LD) reaches a maximum of 66.7% at a percentage of 0.656%. As the percentage of acid increases in the initial stage, the silanol of the silicon monomer hydrolysis increases, thereby increasing the contact site with titanium dioxide, resulting in an increase in lipophilicity until a maximum value is reached. Then as the percentage of acid continues to increase, the pH of the system decreases, gradually approaching the isoelectric point of TiO 2 (pH. Apprxeq. 3.6). At this time, the microscopic force is expressed as coulomb repulsion > > van der waals force, so that the system becomes unstable, and the TiO 2 is more likely to agglomerate, thereby causing the reduction of the lipophilicity.
Example 11
The percentage of ammonia water was adjusted to 0.6%, 1.2%, 2.4%, 3.6% and 4.8% on the premise of adding 0.7% of hydrochloric acid in example 10. The respective lipophilicity values are shown in Table 6 below:
TABLE 6
As seen from table 6, the overall rule is that the lipophilicity increases and then decreases. The reason may be that the hydroxyl anions of ammonia (OH -) and deprotonated silanol (Si-O) are more suitable nucleophiles than water and silanol, so they attack the silicon atom. Under such conditions, the hydrolysis and condensation reactions occur simultaneously. However, the rate of condensation is higher than the rate of hydrolysis, resulting in accelerated formation of branched oligomers, polymers or oxygen bridged macromolecular networks. Thus, in the initial stage, as the content of the base increases, the amount of silanol condensed into polysiloxane may increase, thereby increasing the amount of coated titanium dioxide and improving the lipophilicity. When the percentage of the alkali is 1.2%, the Lipophilicity (LD) reaches a maximum value of 66.7%. However, as the alkali content continues to increase, it may cause hydrolysis to generate siloxane anions, which are combined with Si atoms in the silane coupling agent molecules on the surface of TiO 2, thereby causing flocculation of TiO 2 powder and reducing the lipophilicity of TiO 2.
It can be seen that the present invention provides a sample with polysiloxane coated surface that has enhanced dispersibility relative to the uncoated powdered TiO 2, and is more compatible with organic media. The experimental materials used are low in pollution, low in energy consumption and short in time, and a synthesis mode convenient for laboratory preparation and industrialization is provided.
