Abstract

In this study, a different UV (ultra-violet) ray absorption system is presented in which butyl methoxydiben-zoylmethane (BMDM, a model UV-A absorbent, 320$\~$400 nm) is stabilized in phase-controlled poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) microspheres. The photochemistry of BMDM in the microspheres was investigated considering its phase characteristics therein. The analysis of a differential scanning calorimeter and X-ray diffractometer showed that the BMDM in the microspheres was present with a non-crystalline state. The phase control of BMDM in the polymer microsphere has an excellent ability to protect UV-A with maintaining its photo- and thermal stability. The results obtained in this study illustrate well that the phase control of the UV absorbents in the polymer microspheres is another key factor that de-termines its photochemistry and photostability in the final formulations.

본 연구는 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 마이크로 입자 내의 상 조절을 통하여 자외선 A 흡수제인 butyl metho-xydibenzoylmethane (BMDM)을 효과적으로 안정화시킨 새로운 자외선 흡수 시스템에 관한 것으로, 마이크로 입자 내의 BMDM의 광학특성을 고분자와의 상 특성에 연관하여 해석함으로써 자외선 A 흡수제의 분자거동과 광 에너지 흡수 거동을 체계적으로 이해하고자 하였다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 마이크로 입자 내에서 BMDM의 상 특성을 제어하여, BMDM의 광 및 열 안정성을 유지하면서 자외선 A를 효과적으로 차단할 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 고분자 마이크로 입자 내에 자외선 흡수제의 상 특성을 조절하는 것이 자외선 흡수제를 함유하는 화장품 제형 내에서 광화학 및 광 안정도를 결정하는 중요한 인자임을 알 수 있었다.
