化粧品への表面処理粉体の活用~高分子にフォーカスして~
Utilization of Surface-Treated Powder in Cosmetics: Focusing on Polymers
福井 寛
Hiroshi FUKUI
<要旨> 化粧品には汗・皮脂の吸着や肌を彩るため、または紫外線を防御するために多くの種類の粉体が使われている。また、これらの粉体を高分子などで表面を処理して、本来の機能を高め、乳化系の水相や油相に望みのままに分散させて使用感や化粧の持続性を高めている。本報告では化粧品用粉体の表面処理について高分子にフォーカスして報告する。

新規油溶性ポリウレタンゲルの開発と化粧品製剤への応用
Development of Novel Oil-Soluble Polyurethane Gel and its Application to Cosmetics
竹下 卓志
Takashi TAKESHITA
<要旨> People all over the world are increasingly aiming to present an ageless impression that reflects their success in work, private, and social networking activities. One of the most important features that determines the age impression of a person is their laugh lines. As a result, various ways to improve the appearance of laugh lines has been the focus of cosmetic product developments. However, the long-lasting effect of these conventional makeup products is generally not satisfying in the face areas of the laugh lines. In this study, we have addressed the challenge of aggregation collapse by developing a novel powder coating technology that can absorb movements and maintain a uniform coating film. As a surface treatment agent, we focused on a polyurethane gel, which exhibits high elasticity due to hard and soft segments that coexist in the structure. Results show that our polyurethane-treated foundation not only suppresses the makeup collapse of laugh lines when movement is occurring, but it can also maintain a beautiful age impression.

化粧品開発へのレオロジーの応用
The Application of Rheology in the Development of Cosmetics
中川 泰治
Yasuharu NAKAGAWA
<要旨> Establishing manufacturing processes, skin effects, texture and preventing problems with stability are all integral in the development and manufacture of cosmetics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of rheological measurements in these areas of cosmetic production. Rheological measurements were applied at various stages during the development and manufacture of a bath milk, a skin care product and a cleansing milk. In the case of the bath milk, we applied mainly flow curves to observe the dispersibility of emulsified particles and to predict its stability. Regarding the skin care product, we investigated the rheological properties of materials on its basic formula to understand their effects on its texture. As for the cleansing milk, we used rheological measurements in order to distinguish the physical properties of formulas with defective textures from those that were acceptable. We then compared the rheological properties of an acceptable formula to those that had been produced by different manufacturing methods.

化粧品の摩擦と触感
The Friction and Tactile Feel of Cosmetics
野々村 美宗
Yoshimune NONOMURA
<要旨> The authors have developed a biomimetic haptic sensing system that mimics the mechanical phenomena that occur on the skin when a human touches an object to show the expression mechanism of various tactile sensations and guidelines for designing various products such as cosmetics. Here, we show an overview of the sensing system and our research on the tactile texture of cosmetic powders.

D-ES(ダイレクトエレクトロスピニング)技術の開発と化粧品への応用
Development of D-ES Tecnology and Application for Cosmetics
東城 武彦・内山 雅普
Takehiko TOHJO, Masayuki UCHIYAMA
<要旨> We have developed a D-ES (Direct Electro Spinning) technology and succeeded in forming a second skin-like membrane directly on the skin, consisting of the fine fiber of submicron diameter fibers. The membrane becomes transparent and unites with the skin by combining various cosmetic lotions. And it mimics the skin function that was originally present and behaves as barrier of skin, and as a result, it can realize a higher skin improvemnt effect than conventional cosmetic applications. We have started to apply this technique in the cosmetics category and are going to expand to medical applications in the future.

Polymer-Grafting from Particles
大野 工司
Kohji OHNO
<要旨> Significant advances in polymer chemistry have enabled the synthesis of polymer particles with unique structures, the morphology control of polymer chains attached to particle surfaces, and the control of arrangement and distribution of functional groups attached to particle surfaces. These achievements have produced various high-value-added particles. In particular, controlled or living polymerization from initiation sites immobilized on the surface of particles dramatically increased the density of polymer chains that can be grafted. This means that a novel polymeric architecture, the so-called concentrated polymer brush, is successfully grafted on the surface of particles. In the last 20 years, the development of science and technology for “polymer-grafting from particles” has been remarkable. It has handled various particles with the diameter ranging from nano to micrometer, making a great contribution to colloid chemistry. This paper introduces the recent research trends in the synthesis and application of functional particles using surface-initiated graft polymerization.
