UV absorbers are sustainable substances that inhibit the ultraviolet (UV) radiative degradation of polymers. In previous reports, the as-prepared carbon dots (CDs) possess only an absorption band at UVA(320–400 nm). To achieve broad-spectrum UV absorption (200–400 nm), increasing the concentrationof the CDs solution becomes common. However, a high concentration solution seriously affects the lighttransmittance due to its heavy yellow color. Furthermore, the promising organic UV absorbers cannotachieve broad-spectrum UV absorption. In this work, we initially synthesized three-component watersolublecarbon dots (OP–CDs), which delivers an excellent UV absorption (98 % UVA and 100 % UVB atthe concentration of 1.7 102 mg/mL; 99 % transmittance in visible light). Moreover, OP–CDs exhibitoutstanding stability at high temperatures and different pH. With the corporation of OP–CDs and polyvinylalcohol (PVA), a high-performance UV-shielding film was formed, leading to enhanced broadspectrumUV shielding performance and improved mechanical properties, resistance of photocatalyticactivity and anti-UV aging ability compared with pure PVA film. Notably, the PVA film remains hightransparency with the addition of OP–CDs. The study suggests that the corporation of OP–CDs and polymersis effective in anti-UV degradation.

본 연구는 자외선 흡수제로 사용되는 benzophenone계(group) 및 높은 굴절률과 화학적, 물리적으로 매우 안정한 물질로 알려진 를 기존의 재료에 첨가하여 자외선 차단 기능을 가진 고분자 재료를 중합하였다. 중합 결과 생성된 고분자의 자외선 흡수 정도를 기존의 재료들과 비교하였으며, 제조된 콘택트렌즈의 함수율, 굴절률 및 광투과율등의 기본적인 물성을 측정하였다. 측정 결과, 자외선 흡수제를 첨가한 콘택트렌즈의 굴절률과 함수율은 각각 1.430~1.440, 35.0~45.0의 값들로 나타나 기존의 콘택트렌즈와 비슷한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 각 파장대별 광투과율에서는 자외선 흡수제를 넣지 않은 콘택트렌즈에서는 UV-A, UV-B, 가시광선 투과율이 각각 89%, 88%, 89%로 나타나 자외선 투과율이 매우 높았으나, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone와 2,4-dihydroxy-benzophenone을 첨가한 콘택트렌즈의 경우, 각각 UV-A 0%, UV-B 6%의 투과율을 나타내어 자외선 차단 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 를 첨가한 콘택트렌즈의 경우, 각각 UV-A 6%, UV-B 51%의 투과율을 나타내어 자외선 차단 효과가 다소 있는 것으로 나타났다. 가시광선 투과율은 모두 77~89%로 콘택트렌즈의 가시광선 투과율의 조건에 만족함을 알 수 있었다. This study was done for the preparation of macromolecular material with UV-blocking features by adding the benzophenone group that is commonly used as a UV-absorbent and which is known to be a very stable material in chemical and physical aspects. Also, we compared the level of UV absorbency of the polymer produced from polymerization with previous materials and measured basic properties such as water content, refractive index and optical transmittance of produced contact lenses. The results of the measurement showed that the refractive index and water content of the contact lens with added UV-absorbent was 1.430~1.440 and 35.0~45.0% respectively, which was similar to that of previous contact lenses. Also, for optical transmittances of each wave length, contact lenses without the UV-absorbent was 89%, 88% and 89% respectively for UV-A, UV-B and visible light, indicating that the UV transmittance is very high though contrary with cases of contact lenses with added 2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzophenone and 2,4-dihydroxy-benzophenone which showed transmittances of 0% and 6% respectively for UV-A and UV-B showing a UV-blocking effect. Meanwhile, contact lenses with added showed transmittance of 6% and 51% respectively for UV-A and UV-B also showing a UV-blocking effect. The visible transmittance was 77~89% showing that it satisfies the visible transmittance required for ophthalmological materials.

자외선이 해조류에 미치는 영향에 관한 고찰

한태준 한국환경생물학회 1999 환경생물 : 환경생물학회지 Vol.17 No.1

산업활동의 부산물인 chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs)와 같은 물질들의 대기권 유입으로 오존층의 파괴가 극심해짐에 따라 자외선의 지표유입량이 증가되는 추세를 보이는데, 특히 중파자외선의 증가는 DNA, 단백질, 지질 등에 의한 흡수를 통하여 생물학적 폐해를 야기할 수 있다는 점에서 주목된다. 최근 측정 결과 우리 나라 동해안에서 해수표면에 도달되는 중파자외선 광량의 1%가 수심 10m까지 침투하는 것으로 나타났는데, 이는 해양생태계 생산성의 대부분이 해양 수심의 상위 2.5%에 해당되는 투광대에 의존한다는 점을 감안할 때 자외선에 의한 막대한 생태학적 폐해를 예견하게 해준다. 실내배양실험 연구에서 중파자외선은 대형해조류의 생장 및 광합성을 억제하고 광합성 색소를 파괴하는 등의 생물독성학적 효과를 보였다. 반면, 자외선의 피해로부터 해조류를 보호해 주는 몇 가지 기작이 밝혀진 바 있는데, 어린시기의 갈조류 다시마는 청색광에 의한 광재활성화 능력을 함유한 것으로 보이고, 한국산 녹조 구멍갈파래와 홍조 도박류에서는 자외선을 강하게 차단하는 흡수물질이 형성됨을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 이러한 적응기능들이 해조류에서 보편적으로 나타나는 것인지에 대해서는 좀 더 연구가 필요하다. 해양생태계는 대기 중 CO_2를 이용하여 1년에 약 100Gt의 유기물질을 생산해내고, 인류가 소비하는 식품의 30%를 제공한다는 점에서 자외선에 의한 생물량의 감소는 해조류 뿐만 아니라 먹이망에 의해서 복잡한 연결구조를 지닌 생태계 전체의 붕괴를 야기할 수 있는 심각한 사안이라고 할 수 있다. 따라서, 자외선에 대한 피해를 연구 평가하여 전략을 세우고 이를 예측하는 예보시스템을 개발할 필요성이 절실히 부각된다. Numerous observations revealed strong evidence of increased middle ultraviolet radiation or UV-B(280∼320㎚) at the earth's surface resulting from stratospheric ozone depletion. UV is the waveband of electromagnetic radiation which is strongly absorbed by nucleic acids and proteins, thus causing damage to living systems. It has been recorded in the East Sea, Korea that solar UV-B impinging on the ocean surface penetrates seawater to significant depths. Recent researches showed that exposure to UV-B for as short as 2h at the ambient level(2.0 Wm^-2) decreased macroalgal growth and photosynthesis and destroyed photosynthetic pigments. These may suggest that UV-B could be an important environmental factor to determine algal survival and distribution. Some adaptive mechanisms to protect macroalgae from UV damage have been found, which include photoreativation and formation of UV-absorbing pigments. Post-illumination of visible light mitigated UV-induced damage in laminarian young sporophytes with blue the most effective waveband. The existence of UV-B absorbing pigments has been recognized in the green alga, Ulva pertusa and the red alga, Pachymeniopsis sp., which is likely to exert protective function for photosynthetic pigments inside the thalli from UV-damage. Further studies are however needed to confirm that these mechanisms are of general occurrence in seaweeds. Macroalgae together with phytoplankton are the primary producers to incorporate about 100 Gt of carbons per year, and provide half or the total biomass on the earth. UV-driven reduction in macroalgal biomass, if any, would therefore cause deleterious effects on marine ecosystem. The ultimate impacts of increasing UV-B flux due to ozone destruction are still unknown, but the impression from UV studies made so far seems to highlight the importance of setting up long-term monitoring system for us to be able to predict and detect the onset of large-scale deterioratlion in aquatic ecosystem.

새로운 UV 필터에 대한 고찰

오랫동안 사용되어진 Sunscreen 제품들은 “화상없이 보기 좋게 태우기”라는 목적으로 발전을 거듭해 왔다. 최근 태양 자외선이 피부암을 유발시키는 주요 원인이며, 화상과 무관한 UVA에 의해서도 피부암이 유발된다는 보고와 함께 “보기좋게 태우기”에서 “태양광선으로부터 보호”라는 목적으로 제품의 진화를 계속해 오고 있다. 최근 이러한 동향과 함께 유럽에서 수년간 유기 UV 차단제가 개발되었으며, 본 보고에서 이들에 대한 발전과정을 논의하고자 한다. 이들 UV 차단제들은 UVB는 물론 UVA를 충분히 잘 흡수할 수 있으며, 어떤한 formulation에도 잘 포함될 수 있는 성질을 가지고 있다. 또한, 이들은 부작용 없는 안전한 물질들이다. 이들 차단제들은 290 nm에서 400 nm의 넓은 범위의 UV를 차단할 수 있어 다른 차단제들과 병용할 필요성을 감소시켜 준다. Sunscreens have been in use for about 70years and “tanning without burning” was propagated as their major advantage. The objective changed from “getting a tanned skin” to “getting skin protection” since UV have been proposed to a major risk of skin cancer and the risk of developing skin cancer related also to non-burning UVA. The new expectation from consumers has triggered the development of new UV absorbers and led to the approval of 7 new, organic UV absorbers in Europe over the last few years. The significant progress due to these new UV absorbers will be discussed in this report. These UV absorbers provide an efficient absorption of UV radiation (UVB and/or UVA) and easily incorporate in any kind of formulation. These are also safe, i.e. devoid of adverse effects. These new filters give the formulators new possibilities to cover the whole UV range iron 290 to 400 nm, and also to use less filter due to the boosting effect of the new UVA and broadband fitters.

유동식(Yu Dong-Sik),이지호(Lee Ji-Ho),하진욱(Ha Jin-Wook) 한국산학기술학회 2006 한국산학기술학회논문지 Vol.7 No.6

눈은 자외선과 가시광선에 노출되어 있다. 눈은 자외선 노출에 해로우므로 모든 자외선으로부터 눈을 보호해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 자외선 차단을 위해 투명 플라스틱에 유무기 하이브리드 재료와 자외선 흡수제의 배합에 의한 자외선 차단 코팅하였고, PMMA, CR 39 및 PC기재에 적용하여 자외선 차단 효과를 조사하였다. 자외선 흡수제의 양이 증가할수록 자외선의 투과도는 낮았다. PMMA의 경우 자외선 투과도를 현저히 감소시켰으며 CR 39에서도 자외선 차단 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, Pc.자체에서는 자외선 차단효과가 있는 것으로 평가되었다. CR 39 렌즈의 부착력, 내약품성, 내온수성은 우수하였고, 연필 경도의 경우 4H였으며 내마모성은 좋지 않았다. The human eye is exposed to UV and visible light. UV light exposure becomes harmful to the eye. Protection for eyes should block all ultraviolet rays. In our study, organic-inorganic hybrid materials have been applied to UV blocking coatings with UV absorbing materials on transparent plastics. The optical properties of UV blocking coatings were investigated in PMMA, CR 39 and PC substrates. In case of all UV absorbers, the transmission of UV light decreases with an increased amount of absorber. Our fmdings indicate that PMMA significantly reduced the transmission of UV radiation, CR 39 showed moderate decrease, while UV-uncoated PC had some UV blocking properties. Adhesion, hot water resistance and chemical resistance of the UV-coated CR 39 lenses were good. Pencil hardness were 4H. Abrasion resistance were poor.

김흥수 한국융합학회 2018 한국융합학회논문지 Vol.9 No.4

본 연구는 시력교정용 안경렌즈의 재질에 따른 자외선 차단 성능을 확인하고자 하였다. 안경렌즈 Acryl, CR-39, NK-55, MR-8 재질의 렌즈에 대하여 흠집 방지와 반사방지 코팅을 한 렌즈 Group A와 여기에 자외선 차단 코팅을 추가한 렌즈 Group B, 그리고 자외선 차단 전용렌즈 Group C에 대하여 자외선 투과율을 측정하였다. 그 결과, UV-A 파장에서 Group A는 CR-39 렌즈가 7.726 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.043 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순 이었으며 Group B는 CR-39 렌즈가 0.038 %, NK-55 렌즈, 0.037 %, MR-8과 Acryl 렌즈, 0.007 % 순으로 나타나 CR-39 렌즈의 자외선 차단 성능이 크게 개선되었다. Group C는 굴절률이 1.60과 1.67에서 각각 0.005 %, 0.004 %로 나타나 자외선 차단 성능이 가장 우수하였 다. 저 도수의 렌즈와 썬글라스의 경우, CR-39 렌즈를 가장 많이 사용하는 현실에서 자외선 차단을 위한 새로운 재질 또는 자외선 흡수제, 자외선 차단코팅 기술 등의 융 복합적 기술개발이 요구된다고 하겠다. This study was wanted to confirm ability for UV blocking according to its material. The lenses materials were Acryl, CR-39, NK-55, and MR-8. It was grouped: Group A consisting of anti-scratch hard coated lenses and anti-refractive multi coated lenses, Group B added UV blocking coating on the group A, and Group C consisting of only UV blocking lenses. The results measured UV transmittance, On the UV-A wavelength, Group A showed the UV transmittance of 7.726%, 0.043%, 0.007%, and 0.007% respectively. Group B showed 0.038%, 0.037%, 0.007%, and 0.007%, respectively. The UV-blocking performance of CR-39 has been greatly improved. Group C has shown the best UV blocking function; only 0.005% and 0.004% of UV transmittances.(1.60 and 1.67 index of refraction respectively). For the low power of lenses and sunglasses, the CR-39 lens is the most used. Therefore, to UV blocking from the lens, new materials or UV absorbers or UV coating technology and development of Converged Technologies are required.

As the concerns over health increased in 1990's, research and development on the health material were also activated. The development of UV-cut textile became the hot issue, because the damage of UV irradiation due to ozone depletion has become widely known. UV-cut effect is determined by the material, the color, the organization and the density of UV-cut fibers. UV-cut effect is very different according to the fibers. Polyester is known to have a better effect. Even in the same textile material, staple fiber has more effect than filament fiber. Different colors have different effects. Although textiles have the same color, the effects can be different according to the depth of color. PET, PET/cotton blend, nylon and cotton fabrics were ultraviolet cutting finished with padding method using several absorbers. These UV-cut effect can be improved through the processing. Safety of UV-cut textile for the body must be considered future. Until now the figure of the UV-cut effects has been emphasized. There has been no experiment on the human body, although the textiles art directly on the human body. Futhermore there os no safety standard of UV-cut textiles. Therefore every effort will be made to set the standard UV-cut processing is established. The need of UV-cut products will be known to the consumers.

박성우,강윤화,전길우,민병길,백두현,Park, Seong Woo,Kang, Yoon Hwa,Jeon, Gil Woo,Min, Byung Gil,Baik, Doo Hyun 한국섬유공학회 2013 한국섬유공학회지 Vol.50 No.3

A UV testing chamber was designed and prepared for testing the UV-resistance of poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers. The optimum conditions for the test were established by measuring UV irradiation at a chamber position using various kinds of UV sources and different irradiation times. Expectedly, PBO fibers (Zylon$^{(R)}$) showed significant degradation under UV irradiation by exhibiting a decrease in the tensile strength and elongation of up to 37% and 18%, respectively. Selected UV-absorbing and -stabilizing agents were successfully coated onto the fibers using water-borne polyurethane. It was found that triazine-type UV absorbing agents were more effective than benzophenone- or benzotriazole-type agents in reducing the degradation of PBO fibers under UV irradiation.

본 연구에서는 유기 자외선 흡수제와 오일들 간의 용해도에 따른 자외선 차단제의 안정성과 유기 자외선 흡수제의 조합에 따른 이들의 자외선 차단 효율 변화를 조사하여 보다 안정하고 효율이 높은 자외선 차단제품 개발에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 그 결과 오일의 종류, 농도 그리고 보관 조건에 따라서 유기 자외선 흡수제의 용해도 및 안정성이 다양하게 관찰되었으며, 이러한 현상은 에멀젼상에서도 자외선 차단지수에 영향을 나타냄을 확인하였다. 또한 유기 자외선 흡수제의 조합에 따라 다양한 자외선 흡광도가 측정되었으며, 조합 시 각각의 자체 흡광도보다 높은 시너지 효과를 나타내는 성분이 있었고, 특정 성분과의 조합 시에만 시너지 효과가 나타나는 경우도 있었다. 보관 조건에 따라서도 자외선 흡광도는 상이하게 측정되어, 자외선 차단 효율에 영향을 나타내는 다양한 변수가 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. In this study, we have investigated the stability of sunscreens based on the solubility of organic UV absorbers in the oil and sun protection efficacy of the products composed of a combination of organic UV absorbers to develop more stable and efficient sunscreen products. Results showed that the solubility of the organic UV absorber and stability were varied depending on the type, storage conditions and concentration of oil. It was also observed from the products in the emulsion type. Various UV absorbances were determined to the products composed of the combination of organic UV absorbers. In some combinations, a synergistic effect was observed to make an increase in absorbance compared to a single component. In other cases, specific synergistic effect was displayed only when combined with the particular component. In addition, the storage condition also affected the sunscreen efficacy. In conclusion, this study confirmed that there are various factors which could affect the UV-blocking efficiency of sunscreen products.

In order to develop a new ultraviolet ray blocking material that will protect the skin from ultraviolet rays that are known to be the primary cause of skin aging and complement the weakness of existing ultraviolet ray scattering agents that had to be used in large amounts, the optical characteristics of titanium dioxide powder which is the major material of ultraviolet ray scattering agents relative to its shapes were analyzed and the correlations between the characteristics and the effect to block ultraviolet rays were examined. The optical characteristics of individual powder types of four different titanium dioxide products currently commercialized were analyzed. Then, W/O emulsions mixed with titanium dioxide in a 5% weight ratio were made and their in vitro SPF and PA values were measured. Among the four types of titanium dioxide with different shapes, ST-485 showed the highest UV Absorbance value in the area of ultraviolet rays followed by ST-455, ST-495 and P-25 in order of precedence and in the case of UV Reflectance values, ST-495 showed the highest value followed by P-25, ST485 and ST-455. In addition, it could be seen that when the UV Absorbance value of the powder was higher, the sun protection factor (SPF) value of the powder was also higher and that when the UV Reflectance value of the powder was higher, the protection grade of UVA (PA) of the powder was also higher.
