In‐situ preparation of porous monolithic polymer inside hollow fiber as a micro‐solid phase extraction device for glucocorticoids in cosmetics

Glucocorticoids have a certain whitening effect on the skin. However, frequent and long‐term use of cosmetics including glucocorticoids is harmful to health. Herein, we proposed a novel micro‐solid phase extraction method for the detection of prednisolone acetate, prednisone, and prednisolone in cosmetics coupled with high‐performance liquid chromatography. In this method, porous monolithic polymer micro‐extraction bars were prepared by “one‐step, one‐pot” in situ photopolymerization combined with sacrificial support in hollow fiber under water atmosphere. The crucial factors such as pH of sample solution, extraction, and elution times that influence micro‐extraction were optimized and found to be 9.0, 2 h, and 32 min, respectively. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the linear range of the calibration curves were from 5.0 to 2000 µg/L with correlation coefficients (R²) between 0.9922 and 0.9996. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 1.5 µg/L and 5.0 µg/L, respectively, and the recoveries were found to be in range of 69.0–113.3%. The analysis of precision for intraday and interday were less than 10.40 and 10.59%. The device has been successfully achieved photopolymerization under water atmosphere. The results indicated that this method is simple, accurate, and satisfactory for the pretreatment and determination of glucocorticoids in complex cosmetics samples.     

The synthesis and cationic polymerization behavior of ambifunctional monomers

The synthesis of a novel series of ambifunctional monomers containing cationically polymerizable vinyl and 1-propenyl ether or 1-butenyl ether groups in the same molecule has been carried out. Studies of the onium salt-induced photopolymerizations of these monomers indicate that both functional groups are highly reactive and that they undergo extensive copolymerization. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Photopolymerization studies of alkyl and aryl ester derivatives of ethyl α-hydroxymethylacrylate

Several new benzoate ester derivatives of ethyl α-hydroxymethylacrylate were synthesized using phase transfer catalysis and found to display unexpectedly rapid photopolymerization; i.e., from 2 to 8 times faster than MMA. New derivatives described here include the 4-fluoro-, 4-trifluoromethyl-, 4-methyl-, 2-hydroxy-, 4-nitro-, 4-methoxy-, 4-cyano-, and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate esters along with the parent benzoate ester. Relative reactivities of these monomers in photopolymerizations were compared with those of the nonaromatic formate, acetate, hexanoate, and stearate derivatives. Reactivities of the nonaromatic ester derivatives increased with the length of the side chain while for the more reactive aromatic esters, rates increased in the order 4-methyl-, 4-fluoro- and benzoate < 4-trifluoromethyl- and 2-hydroxy- < 4-cyano- < 4-methoxy- < 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoate. T_gs of the benzoate polymers ranged from 125°C for the 4-fluoro to 163°C for the 4-cyanobenzoate while those of the alkyl ester derivatives ranged from 15 to 78°C. Number average molecular weights of photoinitiated polymers (ca 10,000–20,000) were lower than those found for bulk and solution polymers (20,000—708,000) consistent with higher radical concentrations from photoinitiation. These materials greatly expand the number of candidates available for rapid photocure in thin film and coating applications, especially because their physical properties are those of linear rather than highly crosslinked structures formed from multifunctional systems. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Kinetics of cationic photopolymerizations of divinyl ethers characterized using in situ Raman spectroscopy

In situ Raman spectroscopy experiments were used to determine effective kinetic propagation constants for a series of unsteady-state divinyl ether polymerizations at different isothermal temperatures and light intensities. Raman spectroscopy was found to be ideally suited for monitoring cationic photopolymerizations because the technique allows isothermal experiments to be performed with excellent time resolution and allows several spectral features to be observed simultaneously. In addition, the Raman experiments provided direct information about the vinyl bond concentration in situ as the reaction takes place. For these cationic photopolymerizations, the reaction rate and limiting conversion were both found to increase as the reaction temperature was increased. At all temperatures, the profile for the propagation rate constant, k_p, exhibited a dramatic increase at the start of the reaction, plateaued at a value between 10 and 40 l/mol s (depending upon temperature), and then decreased as the reaction reached a limiting conversion due to trapping of the active centers. Finally, the overall activation energy for polymerization was found to be 25.1 ± 6.1 kJ/mol. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Noninvasive Temperature Measurement in Dental Materials Using Nd3+, Yb3+ Doped Nanoparticles Emitting in the Near Infrared Region

In this work, the application of near infrared (NIR)-emitting NaYbF₄:1%Tm³⁺@NaLuF₄:30%Nd³⁺ core–shell nanoparticles is reported for noninvasive probing and monitoring the temperature during photopolymerization of dental materials. When excited at 808 nm, the synthesized nanoparticles emit NIR photoluminescence (PL) with two distinctive peaks at 865 and 980 nm which correspond to radiative transitions from the doped Nd³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions, respectively. Luminescence intensity ratio between these two bands is found to vary with temperature due to temperature-dependent electronic excitation energy transfer between Nd³⁺ and Yb³⁺ ions at the core/shell interface. This finding allows luminescence ratiometric evaluation of the in situ temperature during photopolymerization of resin cement (doped with nanoparticles) in a veneer placement procedure. In addition, the NIR emission also enables PL imaging of the distribution of the adhesive under the veneer. The results highlight that rare-earth ions–doped nanoparticles with both excitation and emission in the NIR spectral range are advantageous for both PL-based nanothermometry and imaging due to the reduced attenuation of NIR light by dental ceramics.

New fabrication approach to develop a high birefringence photo-crosslinked film based on a sulfur-containing liquid crystalline molecule with large temperature dependence of birefringence

ABSTRACT

We present a new fabrication approach to achieve a high birefringence film by means of photopolymerization based on an alkylthio-containing rod-like liquid crystalline molecule exhibiting large temperature dependence of birefringence. We designed a new reactive mesogen having alkylthio linkages (BPM–S). It was found that BPM–S had a larger increment of birefringence with decreasing temperature, relative to commercially available alkoxy analog LC242. This result could be thought to be due to enhanced intermolecular attractive interaction for an alkylthio mesogen implied by the proximity of laterally neighboring molecules and cybotactic nematic tendency based on wide-angle X-ray measurement. The uniaxially-aligned photo-polymerized film for BPM–S showed higher birefringence than that for LC 242.
