AI Technical Summary
Existing antibacterial toothpastes have low antibacterial efficiency, poor mechanical responsiveness and a great impact on oral bacterial balance, while whitening toothpastes damage enamel.
KNbO3/MoS2 heterojunction is used to combine with tea polyphenols, and piezoelectric polarization is used to induce piezoelectric polarization to generate·OH/O2-, destroy the bacterial membrane, and damage the bacterial membrane through tea polyphenol penetration, and bind to thiol to inhibit metabolism.
It has achieved efficient antibacterial effects, with an antibacterial rate of Gram-positive bacteria as high as 98.2%, while protecting the enamel from damage and no bacterial resistance, and its whitening effect is better than traditional methods.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of oral care materials, and specifically to a composite toothpaste based on piezoelectric-polyphenol synergistic antibacterial effect. Background Art
[0002] In the prior art, traditional antibacterial toothpastes rely on chemical bactericides such as chlorhexidine, which easily lead to the imbalance of oral flora; most whitening toothpastes use peroxides, which damage tooth enamel. Although nano-zinc oxide antibacterial toothpaste has been proposed, its antibacterial efficiency is low and it has no mechanical responsiveness. The present invention solves the above problems by combining the piezoelectric catalysis of 2D / 2D KNbO3 / MoS2 heterojunction with the targeted antibacterial effect of tea polyphenols. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Core innovation points: Material design: The KNbO3 / MoS2 heterojunction is prepared by a hydrothermal method (Example 1). The modification of MoS2 nanosheets increases the specific surface area by more than 40%, promoting charge separation under ultrasound; Tea polyphenols are preferably mixed with EGCG:ECG = 1:1, and their o-quinone intermediates can enhance the damage to the cell membrane of Gram-positive bacteria (see the antibacterial experiment in Example 3).
[0004] Synergistic mechanism: Brushing mechanical force → KNbO3 / MoS2 piezoelectric polarization → generation of ·OH / O2 - → Destroy the bacterial cell membrane; Tea polyphenols penetrate the damaged bacterial membrane and further inhibit metabolism through thiol binding. Specific Embodiments
[0005] Example 1 (Preparation of KNbO3 / MoS2) Synthesize the KM-10 heterojunction according to the following steps: Dissolve 5.5 g of KOH and 1.404 g of Nb2O5 in 100 mL of ethylene glycol, react at 200 °C for 8 h, and calcine at 900 °C for 2 h to obtain KNbO3 nanosheets; Take 0.5 g of KNbO3, 0.195 g of Na2MoO4·2H2O, and 0.39 g of thiourea and react at 200 °C for 24 h in 60 mL of 0.075 M oxalic acid; The product is washed with ethanol and dried at 60 °C to obtain a heterojunction with 10% mass fraction of MoS2.
[0006] Example 2 (Toothpaste formulation) Mix by weight percentage: KNbO3 / MoS2 5% Green tea extract (EGCG 60%) 0.3% Sorbitol (humectant) 20% Sodium lauryl sulfate (foaming agent) 1.5% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (thickener) 1% The balance is deionized water.
[0007] Example 3 (Performance test) Antibacterial property (GB / T 20944.3-2008): The antibacterial rate against Streptococcus mutans is 98.2% (ultrasonic treatment for 3 min); Compared with commercially available chlorhexidine toothpaste (antibacterial rate 91.5%), there is no bacterial drug resistance.
[0008] Whitening property (ISO 28399:2013): After treating coffee-stained teeth for 7 days, the ΔE value increases by 4.8, which is better than the hydrogen peroxide group (ΔE 3.2) and there is no enamel damage.
