The shell-core structure enables the active ingredients to be released layer by layer, achieving a sustained-release effect, making the effect of the second plant essential oil on the human body more lasting. Both the first essential oil smart microcapsule and the second essential oil smart microcapsule can be degraded under specific conditions (for example, when the temperature of the composite fiber membrane reaches the user's body temperature). After degradation, holes are formed at the position of the temperature-sensitive protein on the liposome. When the eye mask is in contact with the skin, the first essential oil smart microcapsule degrades the temperature-sensitive protein embedded in the liposome. After degradation, holes are formed at the position of the temperature-sensitive protein on the liposome, which is conducive to the sustained release and diffusion of the active ingredients of the second plant essential oil through the holes, thereby realizing the intelligent controlled release of the second plant essential oil. This is conducive to the sustained release and diffusion of the active ingredients in the plant essential oil through the holes, thereby prolonging the time for the plant essential oil to act on the human body, and thereby improving the durability of the plant essential oil's effect on the human body. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] An embodiment of the present invention provides a composite fiber membrane. The spinning solution of the composite fiber membrane includes a shell layer spinning solution and a core layer spinning solution. The shell layer spinning solution includes a hydrophilic polymer and a first essential oil smart microcapsule. The core layer spinning solution includes an essential oil emulsion, a first essential oil inclusion compound, and a second essential oil smart microcapsule. The essential oil emulsion includes a first plant essential oil and an emulsifier. The first essential oil inclusion compound includes a second plant essential oil and an inclusion compound. The second essential oil smart microcapsules include a second essential oil inclusion compound, liposomes, and a thermosensitive protein. The first essential oil smart microcapsules include a second essential oil inclusion compound, liposomes, and a thermosensitive protein. The composite fiber membrane can be used as various dressings, such as eye patches.

[0033] Specifically, the inclusion body can be cyclodextrin or cucurbituril. In this embodiment, the inclusion body is cyclodextrin. The inner cavity of cyclodextrin and cucurbituril is lipophilic, and the outer wall of cyclodextrin and cucurbituril is hydrophilic, which can encapsulate plant essential oil in its cavity.

[0034] Specifically, the liposome can be at least one of cholesterol and lecithin, and the lecithin can be at least one of soybean lecithin, egg yolk lecithin, hydrogenated lecithin, corn lecithin and rapeseed lecithin. In this embodiment, the lecithin is soybean lecithin, and the mass ratio of soybean lecithin to cholesterol is 1:1.

[0035] In the present embodiment, the first plant essential oil and the second plant essential oil can be at least one of the more weak lavender quintessence oil, chamomile quintessence oil, tea tree quintessence oil, Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil, Ylang Ylang quintessence oil, frankincense quintessence oil, sandalwood quintessence oil and the Atlantic cedar quintessence oil.In the present embodiment, used lavender quintessence oil, chamomile quintessence oil, tea tree quintessence oil, Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil, Ylang Ylang quintessence oil, frankincense quintessence oil, sandalwood quintessence oil and Atlantic cedar quintessence oil are all purchased from Yiwu Lantian Import and Export Co., Ltd., and its purity is 99%.In the present embodiment, the first plant essential oil and the second plant essential oil are that Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil, lavender quintessence oil, chamomile quintessence oil and tea tree quintessence oil mix and make mixed plant essential oil, wherein, the mass ratio of Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil, lavender quintessence oil, chamomile quintessence oil and tea tree quintessence oil is 1:1:1:1, and this composite fiber membrane with the addition of Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil has good beauty and skin care effect.When actual production is used, the mass ratio of Flos Rosae Rugosae quintessence oil, lavender quintessence oil, chamomile quintessence oil and tea tree quintessence oil can be adjusted according to effect. The mixed plant essential oil contains linalool and acetate, which have strong antibacterial effects. This makes the plant essential oil have a certain antibacterial effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, which can effectively prevent the proliferation of microorganisms, thereby effectively reducing the chance of infection, reducing the consumption of skin tissue and lipids, and thus reducing the production of harmful substances and alleviating the metabolic burden on the skin. In addition, the mixed plant essential oil has the effect of promoting the synthesis of nitric oxide in tissue cells. The synthesis of a small amount of nitric oxide can act as a vasodilator factor, increase blood flow, promote blood circulation, relieve eye fatigue and have antibacterial properties. At the same time, it accelerates the metabolism of tissues, thereby alleviating fatigue and melanin deposition at the site of action, and accelerates the repair process and improves local water retention. The mixed plant essential oil has a light fragrance and a better experience.

[0036] Specifically, the hydrophilic polymer is at least one of gelatin, hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan and bacterial cellulose. In the present embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer is hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluronic acid, is a viscous polysaccharide and is one of the components of human skin. It is produced by microbial fermentation and has the characteristics of low cost, simple process and high output. Hyaluronic acid can generally be divided into cosmetic, edible and pharmaceutical grades. Cosmetic grade hyaluronic acid has the effects of moisturizing, preventing and repairing skin damage, and nourishing the skin. Its theoretical water retention value is as high as 500mL / g or more, making it the best moisturizing factor in nature. In addition, hyaluronic acid is also a good delivery carrier and can be used with various plant extracts and water-soluble ingredients. Therefore, the addition of hyaluronic acid, a safe and natural raw material, can not only greatly enhance the moisturizing effect of the composite fiber membrane, but also play a certain repair and nutritional role on human skin.

[0037] Specifically, the volume ratio of the shell layer spinning solution to the core layer spinning solution is 1:1.

[0038] Specifically, silicone oil paper is used as a receiving substrate during spinning, and the composite fiber membrane on the silicone oil paper is collected by a rotating drum.

[0039] Specifically, the mass ratio of the first plant essential oil to water in the essential oil emulsion is 1:3; the mass ratio of the emulsifier to the first plant essential oil is 1:4. The emulsifier reduces the interfacial tension between the oil phase and the aqueous phase of the first plant essential oil, forming a low-viscosity, transparent or translucent dispersion. The tiny emulsion particles overcome gravity through Brownian motion, reducing instabilities such as sedimentation and flocculation during storage and preparation of the first plant essential oil, effectively encapsulating the transport system. The essential oil emulsion allows the first plant essential oil to maintain stable properties while continuing to emit a pleasant aroma.

[0040] Specifically, the mass ratio of the second plant essential oil to the inclusion complex is 4:5. The inclusion complex secures the second plant essential oil within its inner cavity through host-guest complexation, enhancing its solubility while also improving its stability against oxidative degradation and its control over visible or ultraviolet light, heat, volatility, and sublimation. The addition of the first essential oil inclusion complex stabilizes the second plant essential oil and provides a controlled release of the second plant essential oil after complete volatilization of the first essential oil. The second essential oil inclusion complex is then secondary encapsulated by liposomes to produce first and second essential oil smart microcapsules.

[0041] Specifically, the mass ratio of the second essential oil inclusion complex to the liposome is 4:5.

[0042] Specifically, the mass ratio of the thermosensitive protein to the liposome is 1: 18. In this embodiment, the thermosensitive protein was purchased from Macklin, with the product number: C823250.

[0043] Specifically, in the shell spinning solution, the mass ratio of the hydrophilic polymer to the first essential oil smart microcapsule is 100:2.

[0044] Specifically, when the eye mask contacts the skin, the temperature-sensitive protein embedded in the liposome degrades when the first essential oil smart microcapsule is in contact with the skin. After degradation, holes are formed at the position of the temperature-sensitive protein on the liposome, which facilitates the slow release and diffusion of the active ingredients of the second plant essential oil through the holes, thereby realizing the intelligent controlled release of the second plant essential oil.

[0045] Specifically, the solvent in the shell spinning solution is deionized water, and the mass fraction of the hydrophilic polymer is 2-20%. In this embodiment, the mass fraction of the hydrophilic polymer is 2%.

[0046] Specifically, in the core layer spinning solution, the solvent is an ethanol solution, the mass ratio of ethanol to deionized water in the ethanol solution is 70:100; the mass ratio of the essential oil emulsion to the ethanol solution is 2:9; the mass ratio of the first essential oil inclusion complex to the ethanol solution is 5:100; and the mass ratio of the second essential oil smart microcapsule to the ethanol solution is 1:100.

[0047] Specifically, the shell-core electrospinning method prevents the destruction and loss of bioactive ingredients during the preparation process while also enabling layer-by-layer release of the active ingredients, achieving a sustained-release effect. The second smart microcapsules in the core structure continue to release the second plant essential oil after the first smart microcapsules have gradually released it, ensuring the continuous and effective release of the essential oil components during use of the composite fiber membrane.

[0048] The following briefly introduces the preparation method of the composite fiber membrane provided by the embodiment of the present invention, which is as follows:

[0050] 30 mL of the first plant essential oil was mixed with 90 mL of deionized water, 7.5 mL of Tween 20 emulsifier was added, and the mixture was stirred at 300 rpm for 0.5 h at 25° C. for thorough mixing, and then homogenized at 700 rpm for 10 min to obtain a uniformly mixed essential oil emulsion.

[0051] 5 g of cyclodextrin inclusions and 50 mL of deionized water were mixed and stirred at 300 rpm at 60° C. for 2 h to obtain a cyclodextrin solution; 4 g of the second plant essential oil and 4 g of ethanol were stirred and mixed uniformly at 200 rpm, and then added dropwise into the cyclodextrin solution at a rate of 2 mL / min, and then stirred at 300 rpm at 25° C. for 6 h; after stirring, the mixture was refrigerated at 4° C. for 1 h, and then filtered at a pore size of 0.22 μm. After filtration, the mixture was dried at 40° C. for 3 h to obtain powdered first essential oil inclusion complex and second essential oil inclusion complex.

[0052] 500 mg of soybean lecithin and 500 mg of cholesterol were respectively mixed with 50 mL of chloroform, and ultrasonicated at 80° C. at a frequency of 30 kHz for 15 min. The chloroform was completely removed by rotary drying at control parameters of 30° C. and a rotation speed of 300 rpm for 9 h to obtain treated soybean lecithin and cholesterol. 250 mg of the treated soybean lecithin, 250 mg of cholesterol, 400 mg of the second essential oil inclusion compound and 100 mL of phosphate buffer with a concentration of 0.03 mol / L were mixed, and the mixture was centrifuged at a rotation speed of 5000 rpm for 15 min. After the centrifugation, the mixture was refrigerated at 4° C. for 24 h to obtain a mixed solution.

[0053] 540 mg of mixed liposomes and 30 mg of thermosensitive protein were ultrasonically treated at a frequency of 30 kHz for 10 min at 0°C to obtain a mixed solution. The mixed solution was cooled to -15°C and maintained for 2 h, and then thawed at 25°C for 2 h to complete one freeze-thaw cycle. A total of 5 freeze-thaw cycles were performed to obtain the first essential oil smart microcapsules and the second essential oil smart microcapsules.

[0054] 600 mg of hyaluronic acid, 12 mg of the first essential oil smart microcapsules and 30 g of deionized water were mixed and stirred at 500 rpm for 4 h to obtain a shell spinning solution.

[0055] 1 g of the first essential oil inclusion complex, 0.4 g of the second essential oil smart microcapsules and 20 g of a 70% ethanol solution were mixed so that the mass fraction of the first essential oil inclusion complex was 5% and the mass fraction of the second essential oil smart microcapsules was 10%. After the first essential oil inclusion complex was dissolved, 4.4 g of the essential oil emulsion was added so that the mass ratio of the essential oil emulsion to the ethanol solution was 2:9. The mixture was homogenized at 800 rpm for 10 minutes to obtain a core layer spinning solution.

[0056] 10mL of shell and core spinning solution were fed into standard syringes connected to the outer and inner orifices, respectively. The inner and outer diameters of the nozzles were 0.5 and 1mm, respectively. Spinning was performed at a voltage of 20kV, a receiving distance of 15cm, and a propulsion rate of 1mL / h. Silicone oil paper was used as the receiving substrate, and the composite fiber membrane on the paper was collected by a rotating drum.

[0057] Example 2

[0058] This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that the first and second plant essential oils provided in this embodiment include rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil, and tea tree essential oil, wherein the mass ratio of rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, chamomile essential oil, and tea tree essential oil is 99:1:1:1. The composite fiber membrane containing rose essential oil has excellent skin care effects.

[0059] At the same time, in the present embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer can be hyaluronic acid, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan, and the mass ratio of hyaluronic acid, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan is 1:2:1. Hyaluronic acid, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan are hydrophilic polymers for configuring the wall material solution. After spinning into a film, when this composite fiber membrane comes into contact with water, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan are insoluble in water, play a skeleton role, and maintain the morphological structure of the membrane; hyaluronic acid will dissolve in water and be locked in the skeleton structure formed by polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan, play a moisturizing effect, and slowly release the essential oil under the action of external conditions. From the perspective of overall morphology, the composite fiber membrane does not dissolve after absorbing water, but forms a gel-like structure, which can better fit the skin while locking in moisture and essential oils.

[0066] Specifically, the solvent in the shell spinning solution is deionized water, and the mass fraction of the hydrophilic polymer is 20%.

After filtration, the mixture was dried at 40° C. for 3 h to obtain a powdered first essential oil inclusion complex and a second essential oil inclusion complex.

[0072] 6 g of soybean lecithin and 300 mL of chloroform were mixed, and the mixture was ultrasonically treated at a frequency of 30 kHz for 15 min at 80° C., and the chloroform was completely removed by rotary drying at control parameters of 30° C. and a rotation speed of 300 rpm for 9 h to obtain treated soybean lecithin; 5 g of the treated soybean lecithin, 1 g of the second essential oil inclusion compound, and 500 mL of 0.03 mol / L phosphate buffer were mixed, and the mixture was centrifuged at a rotation speed of 5000 rpm for 15 min.

[0117]

[0118] As can be seen from Table 1, the composite fiber membranes provided by Examples 1, 3, and 6 of the present invention can all make the plant essential oil have good durability.

At the same time, the composite fiber membrane prepared by electrospinning has a shell-core structure, so that the composite fiber membrane can release the active ingredients layer by layer to achieve a sustained release effect. In addition, the first essential oil smart microcapsules and the second essential oil smart microcapsules can be degraded under specific conditions, and holes are formed at the position of the temperature-sensitive protein on the liposome after degradation, which is conducive to the sustained release and diffusion of the active ingredients in the plant essential oil through the holes, thereby prolonging the time for the plant essential oil to act on the human body, thereby improving the durability of the plant essential oil on the human body.

[0120] The composite fiber membrane provided by the present invention can also be used to prepare steam eye masks. In addition to its own aromatic effect, plant essential oils also have the effects of refreshing the brain, calming the nerves and promoting sleep, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and promoting metabolism. Through the heating of the self-heating patch, the plant essential oils in the steam eye mask can be gradually released. Through contact with the skin, etc., it can relieve fatigue and melanin deposition in the affected area (such as the eyes), accelerate the repair process, and improve local water retention. The essential oils can also be absorbed by human skin and enter the human body, promoting blood circulation in the body, improving fatigue, and soothing the body and mind.
