Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth paste and the prepared tooth paste. Background Art

[0002] With rapid economic and social development and rising living standards, more and more people are becoming more concerned about their appearance and image. White teeth are considered a prerequisite and essential condition for a confident smile. In China, 48% of adults experience varying degrees of tooth discoloration, and 52.6% of these individuals are dissatisfied with their tooth color. Consequently, the development and application of tooth whitening technology has become a key development direction in the medical aesthetics industry. Currently, widely used tooth whitening technologies primarily rely on the bleaching effect of strong oxidizing agents, such as hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. While these technologies offer some whitening benefits, the use of strong oxidizing agents can cause irreversible damage to teeth and even negatively impact human health. Furthermore, most currently developed tooth whitening technologies and products require professional medical personnel to perform the procedure in a hospital, which is extremely inconvenient. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop safe, effective, and environmentally friendly tooth whitening technologies to address these issues.

[0003] With advances in nanomaterial preparation and characterization, the application of photocatalysis in human self-cleaning and epidermal immunology has gradually entered the field of human research, becoming a new field and new direction. Furthermore, the study and application of the mechanism of piezoelectric enhancement of photocatalytic performance has become a research hotspot in the field of photocatalysis, focusing on the regulation of photocatalytic efficiency.

[0004] Piezoelectric hydrogels are hydrophilic, three-dimensional mesh structures with excellent mechanical properties. They also possess excellent biocompatibility, toughness, and stable piezoelectric output, promising promising applications in wound therapy and other medical fields. However, their composite application with photocatalysts has not yet been reported.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design and develop a new type of piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The above carbon nitride (g-C3N4) is prepared by the following steps:

[0035] S1.1 Weigh 20 g of urea in a mortar, grind thoroughly, and transfer to a corundum crucible;

[0036] S1.2 Place the corundum crucible in a muffle furnace for sintering. Heat the reactants to 520°C at a rate of 20°C / min and hold for 2 hours.

[0038] S2: Use a pipette to transfer 8 mL of the above-mentioned photocatalytic-piezoelectric hydrogel precursor solution into a culture dish with a diameter of 60 mm to form a uniform photocatalytic-piezoelectric hydrogel precursor solution film on the bottom.

[0039] S3: The photocatalytic-piezoelectric hydrogel precursor liquid film and the culture dish were placed in 200 mL of deionized water and soaked for 10 hours, then taken out, and after removing the liquid, freeze-dried at -20°C for 18 hours using a freeze dryer to obtain a crude photocatalytic-piezoelectric hydrogel film.

[0040] S4: The crude photocatalytic-piezoelectric hydrogel film was placed in a culture dish again and soaked in 200 mL of deionized water for 10 h.

Except for this, a piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip (polyvinyl alcohol / polyvinylidene fluoride-trichloroethylene / carbon nitride) was prepared in the same manner as Example 1. Example 3

[0046] The polyvinylidene fluoride powder in Example 1 was changed to polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene powder (weight average molecular weight 445,000, number average molecular weight 110,000, Sigma-Aldrich (Shanghai) Trading Co., Ltd.), and the cutting size was changed to 0.5 cm*0.5 cm.

[0048] In order to verify and evaluate the actual teeth whitening effect of the prepared piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strips, the piezoelectric electric field enhanced photocatalytic teeth whitening process was simulated in the laboratory.

[0049] S1: First, the ex vivo teeth were bleached to eliminate the influence of the stains on the teeth in the early stage on the experiment.

[0050] The teeth bleaching process is as follows:

[0051] S1.1 Rinse the excised tooth repeatedly with deionized water to remove surface residues;

[0052] S1.2 Place the teeth in a 30% concentration hydrogen peroxide solution and ultrasonically clean them for 5 minutes. Repeat this process three times until the tooth surface is completely bleached.

[0053] S2: Staining of bleached teeth.

[0054] Coffee, grape juice, and blueberry juice, which contain dye molecules and are commonly consumed in daily life, were selected as tooth dyes. The specific tooth dyeing process is as follows:

[0055] S2.1 Place the bleached teeth in 20 mL of coffee, grape juice, or blueberry juice and soak them at room temperature for 5 days until obvious staining appears on the teeth.

[0056] S2.2 Remove the stained teeth, dry them, and take photos to compare the teeth whitening effect.

The strips were then placed in a reactor, and 20 mL of deionized water was added to each of the reactors, ensuring that the piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strips and the stained teeth were completely submerged in the deionized water.

[0059] S3.2 Then, turn on the power density to 0.2W / cm 2 The distance between the light source and the reactor was 10 cm, the cooling water temperature was set to 35 ° C, and the illumination was continuous for 2 h under ultrasonic oscillation;

Subsequently, the light source was turned on to catalyze the reaction for 1 hour. Finally, the number of live Escherichia coli was counted by the plate counting method. For comparison, the piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip was not used, and the blank control experiment was carried out according to the above steps. The results show that the piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip (polyvinyl alcohol / polyvinylidene fluoride / carbon nitride) of Example 1 can effectively inactivate the common pathogenic bacteria Escherichia coli in the oral cavity within 1 hour with an efficiency of 74.9%. The results are as follows Figure 6 shown. Example 4

[0064] A piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip (polyvinyl alcohol / polyvinylidene fluoride / bismuth vanadate) was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the photocatalyst in Example 1 was changed to 1 g of bismuth vanadate.

[0065] Bismuth vanadate is prepared by the following steps:

[0066] S1: Weigh 1 mmol of Bi(NO3)3.5H2O and 1 mmol of H4NO3V, respectively, and stir them magnetically at 400 rpm for 30 min until they are completely dissolved in 60 mL of deionized water;

[0067] S2: Add 0.3 mol HNO3 dropwise to the precursor solution obtained in step S1 above, and stir magnetically at a stirring speed of 400 r / min for 2 h;

[0068] S3: The precursor solution obtained in step S2 was transferred to a 100 mL reactor and reacted at 180°C for 12 h. After the reactor was cooled to room temperature, the reaction product was washed with deionized water and anhydrous ethanol, and centrifuged at 10,000 rpm for 5 times.

[0069] S4: The centrifuged product obtained in the above step S3 was placed in a 60°C forced air oven and dried overnight.

[0070] The same bacterial inactivation test was conducted using the piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip (polyvinyl alcohol / polyvinylidene fluoride / bismuth vanadate) of Example 4. The results showed that it had a similar sterilization effect to the piezoelectric hydrogel-based photocatalytic sterilization and whitening tooth strip (polyvinyl alcohol / polyvinylidene fluoride / carbon nitride) prepared in Example 1.
