Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a composition for forming artificial skin and a method for using the same. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, technology relating to artificial skin that can be used for damaged skin and the like has become known.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a method for producing a fiber-containing coating on the surface of human skin or nails, which method includes electrostatically spraying composition A directly onto the skin or nails, wherein composition A contains (a) one or more volatile substances selected from alcohols and ketones, (b) a water-insoluble polymer for forming fibers, and (c) 0.2% by mass or more and 25% by mass or less of water, and the mass ratio (b / c) of component (b) to component (c) is 0.4 or more and 50 or less.

[0004] Patent Document 2 discloses a body correcting formulation for application to the skin, comprising: (a) a reactive reinforcing component; and (b) a crosslinking component; wherein the crosslinking component catalyzes crosslinking of the reactive reinforcing component in situ, resulting in the formation of a body correcting film on the skin, and the film has the appearance of natural skin when applied to the body.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2018-177803 [Patent Document 2] Special Publication No. 2013-536861 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The coating described in Patent Document 1 is a special coating containing fibers formed by electrostatic spraying, and forming such a coating requires the use of a dedicated, expensive electrostatic spray device.

[0011] [Figure 1] 1 is a photograph of a composition for forming artificial skin according to one embodiment of the present disclosure, which contains fibers, applied to the skin. [Figure 2] 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the viscosity of silicone oil and the crosslinking time. [Figure 3] 1 is a graph showing the weight loss rate, which is an index of the volatility of various oils. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0012] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.

[0013] The composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure comprises a first agent and a second agent, wherein the first agent comprises (a) polymer A composed of one or more organopolysiloxanes having at least two carbon-carbon double bonds or at least one carbon-carbon triple bond in the molecule, (b) polymer B composed of one or more organopolysiloxanes having at least two Si-H units in the molecule, and (c) a silicone having a viscosity of 1.5 mPa s or less at 25°C, and the second agent comprises a catalyst that promotes crosslinking of polymer A and polymer B.

[0014] Without being limited by the theory, it is believed that the principle of action by which the composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure can shorten the crosslinking time while maintaining excellent application performance and coating performance is as follows.

[0015] When using a one-component composition that does not involve a crosslinking reaction to form artificial skin, for example, adding a diluent with a high volatility rate can shorten the drying time after application to the skin, thereby shortening the time required to form the artificial skin. However, the composition of the present disclosure requires that after applying a first agent containing the above-mentioned polymer A and polymer B to the skin, a second agent containing a crosslinking-accelerating catalyst is further applied to crosslink polymer A and polymer B. Such two-component systems that involve drying and crosslinking reactions differ significantly in performance from simple one-component systems that do not involve crosslinking reactions in terms of compatibility, crosslinking reactivity, etc., and therefore the techniques used in such simple one-component systems cannot be directly used. For example, isododecane, a known oil that is easily volatile, was not able to contribute to shortening the crosslinking time of the composition of the present disclosure.

[0016] The present inventors have found that incorporating a relatively low-viscosity silicone oil into the first agent significantly contributes to shortening the crosslinking time of the composition of the present disclosure. Figure 2 is a graph showing this trend. In Figure 2, for example, a silicone oil with a viscosity of approximately 1.5 mPa·s and a crosslinking time of approximately 30 seconds is an oil that is less likely to volatilize than the silicone oil to the right, but this silicone oil is more effective in shortening the crosslinking time of the composition of the present disclosure. In other words, in the case of the composition of the present disclosure, it is believed that the viscosity of the oil, particularly the silicone oil, contributes more to shortening the crosslinking time than the volatility of the oil.

[0017] Furthermore, it is believed that silicones with such specific viscosities have excellent compatibility with polymer A and polymer B contained in the first agent, and can mix polymer A and polymer B well and in a balanced manner, thereby reducing or preventing the deterioration of application performance that accompanies an increase in viscosity and the deterioration of coating performance that accompanies uneven crosslinking formation.

[0018] The definitions of terms used in this disclosure are as follows:

[0019] In this disclosure, "viscosity" refers to a measure of the resistance of a fluid to being deformed by either shear stress or tensile stress. The viscosity of the first and second parts of a composition affects the thickness, spreadability, and uniformity and / or evenness of the layer formed on a substrate. Viscosity can be measured as dynamic viscosity (also known as absolute viscosity, typical units are Pa·s, poise, P, cP) or kinematic viscosity (typical units are cm 2Kinematic viscosity can be reported as either kinematic viscosity (kinematic viscosity in units of s / s, Stokes, St, or cSt), where kinematic viscosity is dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the measured fluid. Viscosity ranges for components disclosed herein are generally provided by each component supplier in units of kinematic viscosity (e.g., cSt) measured using a rheometer or a Cannon-Fenske tube viscometer, although fluid viscosity can also be measured using, for example, a rheometer (e.g., a linear shear rheometer or a dynamic shear rheometer) or a viscometer (viscometer, also called a capillary viscometer or rotational viscometer).

[0020] In the present disclosure, "crosslinking" also encompasses the concept generally referred to as "curing."

[0021] In this disclosure, "body surface" means the skin surface of the body.

[0022] 《Artificial skin formation composition》 The composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure (sometimes simply referred to as the "composition") can shorten the crosslinking time while maintaining excellent application performance and film-forming performance.

[0023] In some embodiments, the application performance of the composition can be evaluated by viscosity using a Brookfield viscometer (Vismetron, manufactured by Shibaura Systems Co., Ltd.). The viscosity of the first and second parts of the composition of the present disclosure immediately after preparation, measured at 25°C and 60 rpm (rotor No. 3 or No. 4), is, for example, 100 mPa·s or more, 500 mPa·s or more, 1,000 mPa·s or more, 2,000 mPa·s or more, 5,000 mPa·s or more, 7,500 mPa·s or more, 10,000 mPa·s or more, or 15,000 mPa·s or more. The viscosity can be 1,000,000 mPa·s or less, 750,000 mPa·s or less, 500,000 mPa·s or less, 250,000 mPa·s or less, 200,000 mPa·s or less, 175,000 mPa·s or less, 150,000 mPa·s or less, 125,000 mPa·s or less, 100,000 mPa·s or less, or 80,000 mPa·s or less. In particular, from the viewpoints of smooth application and suppression of dripping from the skin, the composition preferably has a viscosity of 20,000 mPa·s or less, 15,000 mPa·s or less, or 10,000 mPa·s or less, and preferably has a viscosity of 3,000 mPa·s or more, 5,000 mPa·s or more, or 7,000 mPa·s or more.

[0024] In some embodiments, the viscosity of the first and second parts of the composition of the present disclosure after two weeks, measured at 25°C and 60 rpm (rotor No. 3), is preferably 50,000 mPa·s or less, 30,000 mPa·s or less, or 15,000 mPa·s or less, and is preferably 5,000 mPa·s or more, 7,000 mPa·s or more, or 10,000 mPa·s or more, from the viewpoints of smooth application and suppression of dripping from the skin. The silicone blended in the first part has excellent compatibility with polymer A and polymer B, and therefore can reduce or prevent a significant increase in viscosity even after two weeks.

[0025] In some embodiments, the coating performance of the artificial skin can be evaluated, for example, by whether or not the artificial skin breaks when peeled off from the skin. For example, if the applied artificial skin breaks 15% or less, 10% or less, or 5% or less of the total, it can be said that the coating performance is excellent. There is no particular limit to the lower limit of breakage, but it can be specified as, for example, 0% or more or more than 0%. In addition, the coating performance can also be evaluated by tensile strength, breaking elongation, etc., as described below.

[0026] The crosslinking time of the compositions of the present disclosure can be evaluated using the following method.

[0027] After applying the first part to the aluminum substrate, the second part is applied to the entire surface by stirring it into the first part, and a timer is started. At a certain point in time in an atmosphere of 30°C, a 1.5 cm x 4 cm polypropylene sheet is placed on the surface to which the second part is applied, and then a 15 g weight is placed on the polypropylene sheet and waited for 2 seconds. The weight is then removed, and the polypropylene sheet is then removed from the application surface to observe whether or not the composition is adhering to the polypropylene sheet. The time when the composition is not observed after applying the polypropylene sheet is defined as the "crosslinking time."

[0028] In some embodiments, the composition of the present disclosure can achieve such a crosslinking time of 30 seconds or less, 25 seconds or less, or 20 seconds or less. There is no particular limitation on the lower limit of the crosslinking time, but it can be, for example, 5 seconds or more, 8 seconds or more, or 10 seconds or more.

[0029] <First agent> The first agent constituting the composition of the present disclosure contains (a) polymer A, (b) polymer B, and (c) a silicone having a viscosity at 25°C of 1.5 mPa·s or less.

[0030] The first agent may be, for example, in an anhydrous form, i.e., in a form in which polymers A and B are contained in silicone, which is an oil component, or in the form of an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion. However, from the viewpoint of drying properties and crosslinking properties after application of the first agent to the body surface, it is advantageous for the first agent to be in an anhydrous form.

[0031] Anhydrous forms typically do not require preservatives against bacteria or mold and can therefore be stored for longer periods than emulsions of similar ingredients. In this disclosure, "anhydrous" not only connotes the absence of water in the composition, but also the presence of low amounts of water, i.e., 10% by weight or less, 5% by weight or less, 2% by weight or less, 1% by weight or less, or 0.1% by weight or less.

[0032] Since the first agent is applied to the body surface by application or the like, it preferably has a glass transition temperature below body temperature from the viewpoint of application performance. For example, the glass transition temperature can be 37°C or lower, 25°C or lower, 10°C or lower, or 0°C or lower. There is no particular restriction on the lower limit of the glass transition temperature, but it can be, for example, -30°C or higher, -20°C or higher, or -10°C or higher. Here, "glass transition temperature" refers to the temperature at which a transition from a solid state to a liquid state occurs, and can be measured, for example, using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) in accordance with ASTM D3418-03.

[0033] (a) Polymer A Polymer A is composed of one or more organopolysiloxanes having at least two carbon-carbon double bonds or at least one carbon-carbon triple bond in the molecule, and preferably one or more organopolysiloxanes having an average of at least two alkenyl functional groups and a viscosity of 10,000 to 2,000,000 cSt at 25° C. Herein, in the present disclosure, the "carbon-carbon double bond" and the "carbon-carbon triple bond" may be simply referred to as the "double bond" and the "triple bond."

[0034] Such organopolysiloxanes may contain double or triple bonds in terminal units of the polymer, in non-terminal monomer units of the polymer, or a combination thereof, preferably in non-terminal monomer units of the polymer.

[0037] In some embodiments, the vinyl equivalent weight of the organopolysiloxane having double or triple bonds can be, for example, 0.005 or more, or 0.01 or more, and 0.5 or less, or 0.25 or less per kilogram. The approximate molar amount of double or triple bonds in the organopolysiloxane can be calculated based on the average molecular weight of the organopolysiloxane.

[0074] <Optional ingredients> In the composition of the present disclosure, one or more optional ingredients may be blended with the first agent and / or the second agent.

[0075] The optional components are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include feel modifiers, tack modifiers, spreadability enhancers, diluents, adhesion modifiers, emulsifiers, emollients, surfactants, thickeners, solvents, film-forming agents, humectants, preservatives, fibers, pigments, dyes, fillers, skin permeation enhancers, optical modifiers, scattering agents, adsorbents, magnetic materials, gas transport modifiers, liquid transport modifiers, pH modifiers, sensitization modifiers, and aesthetic modifiers.

[0077] Examples of fillers include at least one selected from carbon, silver, mica, zinc sulfide, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, aluminum oxide, clay, chalk, talc, calcite (e.g., CaCO), barium sulfate, zirconium dioxide, polymer beads, silica (e.g., fumed silica, silicic acid, or anhydrous silica), silica aluminate, and calcium silicate, which may be surface-treated. Such fillers can improve the physical properties (e.g., strength) of the coating (artificial skin) and can also function as viscosity adjusters. Among these, surface-treated silica, such as silica treated with a surface treatment agent such as hexamethyldisilazane, polydimethylsiloxane, hexadecylsilane, or methacrylsilane, is preferred. Fumed silica is also preferred, and fumed silica surface-treated with, for example, hexamethyldisilazane, can also be used.

[0078] In one embodiment, the filler is 50 to 500 m 2 The specific surface area of the filler can be 100 to 350 m / g. 2 / g, and 135 to 250m 2 / g Here, the specific surface area of the filler can be calculated using the BET method.

[0079] In one embodiment, the filler can have an equivalent circle diameter of 1 nm to 20 μm. The equivalent circle diameter of the filler is preferably 2 nm to 1 μm, and more preferably 5 nm to 50 nm. Here, the equivalent circle diameter of the filler can refer to the particle diameter when converted into a circular particle having the same area as the projected area of the filler particle observed under a transmission electron microscope, for example.

In particular, if pigments and dyes are blended into the second agent, the second agent may solidify during application to the surface to which the first agent is applied, which may lead to localized pigment or dye dispersion, resulting in color unevenness. From the perspective of suppressing color unevenness, it is advantageous to blend pigments and dyes into the first agent. Furthermore, pigments, dyes, and fillers may be blended into the second agent to the extent that color unevenness does not occur, but it is advantageous for these not to be included in the second agent.

[0083] In some embodiments, the composition of the present disclosure may further comprise one or more agents in addition to the first agent and / or the second agent, such as cosmetic agents, therapeutic agents, stimulus response agents, and drug delivery agents.

[0088] Specifically, examples of methods for using the composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure include a method in which a first agent is applied to the body surface to form a first agent layer, and then a second agent is applied on the first agent layer and crosslinked to form artificial skin; or a method in which a second agent is applied to the body surface to form a second agent layer, and then the first agent is applied on the second agent layer and crosslinked to form artificial skin. From the perspective of obtaining uniform artificial skin with little unevenness, a preferred method of use is a method in which a first agent is applied to the body surface to form a first agent layer, and then a second agent is applied on the first agent layer and crosslinked to form artificial skin. Here, the materials described above can be used for the first agent and the second agent in the same manner.

[0089] This method may be performed once, but may also be performed multiple times on the formed artificial skin.

Here, the thickness can be defined as the average value calculated by measuring the thickness of any portion of the artificial skin five times using a high-precision Digimatic Micrometer (MDH-25MB, manufactured by Mitutoyo Corporation).

[0095] <Performance> Artificial skin prepared from the composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure can provide excellent results in various performance areas, for example, as shown below.

[0101] <<Kit including a composition for forming artificial skin>> The composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure can be provided as a kit containing the first and second agents that constitute the composition. In addition to the first and second agents, the kit may also contain optional components, for example, to facilitate application of the first agent or the like to the body surface or for further application of makeup.

[0102] Examples of such optional components include an instruction manual, a brush, a cotton swab, a cutter, scissors, gloss, lipstick, nail polish, foundation, a cleanser for removing artificial skin from the body surface, a mirror, etc. Here, the "instruction manual" may include not only a general instruction manual attached in the form of a document to the kit, but also instructions printed on a packaging container that contains the kit or a packaging container such as a tube for injecting the first agent, etc.

[0103] In some embodiments, the kit may be configured to prevent contact between the first and second agents, for example, by packaging the agents in separate containers or compartments and applying them one at a time or mixing them together before or at the time of use. [Example]

[0104] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these. Unless otherwise specified, the blending amounts are expressed in mass %.

[0105] Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 to 7 The first agent was prepared by uniformly mixing polymer A, polymer B, oil, and filler according to the formulations shown in Table 1. The viscosity of this first agent after two weeks and the viscosity of each oil used in the first agent were evaluated using the method described below, and the results are shown in Table 1. In addition, the residual rate, which serves as an indicator of the volatility of each oil used in the first agent, was evaluated using the method described below, and the results are also shown in Table 1.

[0106] According to the composition in Table 2, the platinum catalyst dispersed in silicone oil and the components other than potassium hydroxide dissolved in a portion of water were uniformly mixed to prepare an aqueous phase. The platinum catalyst dispersed in silicone oil was then mixed into the aqueous phase, and an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution was further added to neutralize the mixture, preparing a second part. The crosslinking time of the composition was evaluated using the first and second parts prepared as described below. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0107] Furthermore, Figure 2 shows a graph showing the relationship between the viscosity of the silicone oils in Table 1, namely, a mixture of dimethyl silicone (dimethicone) and trisiloxane, diphenylsiloxyphenyl trimethicone, five types of dimethicone with different viscosities, and caprylyl methicone, and the crosslinking time of the compositions in the examples and comparative examples that used these oils.

[0108] For reference, a graph showing the weight loss rates, which serve as an indicator of volatility, for two types of dimethicone with different viscosities, a mixture of dimethyl silicone (dimethicone) and trisiloxane, isododecane, isoparaffin, and caprylyl methicone is shown in Figure 3. The weight loss rates were determined in the same manner as the method for evaluating the residual oil content, which will be described later.

[0109] Evaluation Method (Viscosity evaluation) The viscosity of the first agent was evaluated using a B-type viscometer (Shibaura Systems Co., Ltd., Vismetron) at rotor number 3 or 4 and 60 rpm, and the viscosity of the oil component was evaluated using a falling ball viscometer (Anton Paar, AMVn automatic micro viscometer) at 25°C.

[0110] (Evaluation of crosslinking time) After applying 71 μl of the first part to an aluminum substrate, 100 μl of the second part was applied to the entire surface while stirring the first part, and a timer was started. At a certain point in time in a 30°C atmosphere, a 1.5 cm x 4 cm polypropylene sheet was placed on the surface coated with the second part. A 15 g weight was then placed on the polypropylene sheet and the polypropylene sheet was left for 2 seconds. The weight was then removed, and the polypropylene sheet was removed from the coated surface. The time when the composition was no longer observed after applying the polypropylene sheet was recorded as the "crosslinking time."

[0111] (Evaluation of oil residual rate (volatility)) 0.2 g of each oil shown in Table 1 was dropped onto a filter paper placed on an electronic balance and left to stand for 60 minutes in an environment of room temperature 24°C and humidity 50%, after which the weight of the oil was measured and the weight loss rate (%) of the oil was calculated using the following formula 1. This was then introduced into formula 2 to calculate the residual rate (%) of the oil, which serves as an indicator of volatility: Oil weight loss rate (%) = (0.2 (g) - oil amount after 60 minutes (g)) x 100 / 0.2 (g) ...Equation 1 Oil remaining rate (%) = 100 - oil weight loss rate ... Equation 2

[0112] [Table 1]

[0113] [Table 2]

[0114] <result> As can be seen from the results in Figure 2, when the oil contained in the first agent is a silicone-based oil, it was confirmed that the crosslinking time is shortened as the viscosity of the oil decreases.

[0115] Furthermore, for example, when Example 2 and Comparative Example 7 in Table 1 are compared, the isododecane of Comparative Example 7 had a crosslinking time that was more than three times longer than the dimethicone of Example 2, even though it had the same viscosity and volatility (residual rate) as the dimethicone of Example 2. As can be seen from these results, in order to shorten the crosslinking time in a composition containing a first agent containing specific polymers A and B and a second agent containing a catalyst that promotes crosslinking, it was confirmed that it is not enough for the oil to be blended in the first agent to be an oil with a high volatility rate, but rather it is important to employ a silicone with a specific viscosity.

[0116] Examples 5 to 8 The dispersion of the fibers in the fiber-blended system and the ability to form artificial skin were evaluated.

[0117] [Table 3]

[0118] <result> A first agent containing fibers was prepared according to the composition in Table 3, and then this first agent was applied to the skin, and the above-mentioned second agent was applied on top of it by stirring it into the first agent. It was confirmed that good artificial skin was formed in all of Examples 5 to 8. Here, the lower part of the back of the hand in Figure 1 is the artificial skin prepared using the first agent of Example 7, and the upper part of the back of the hand in Figure 1 is the artificial skin prepared using the first agent of Example 8. In all cases, as shown in Figure 1, the blended fibers showed good dispersibility in the artificial skin.

[0119] <Prescription examples for the first and second drugs> Below, examples of formulations for the first and second agents of the composition for forming artificial skin of the present disclosure are listed in Tables 4 to 8, but the first and second agents of the composition for forming artificial skin of the present invention are not limited to these examples.
