Abstract

Silica and polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) are silicone powders widely used as cosmetics. We synthesized silica-PMSQ composites via sol-gel method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) as precursors of silica and PMSQ, respectively. Shape of the composites was controlled by varying the ratios of TEOS and MTMS, which were used as silane monomers. Silica-PMSQ composites showed three different shapes, which were sphere-shape, raspberry- shape, and donut- shape. All of them had soft touch, easy water dispersion, and soft focus effect in common. However, each shape showed some differences in sense of use, adhesion, and strength of the soft focus effect. Raspberry-shape composite had the strongest soft focus effect, donut-shape one had the strongest adhesion, and sphere-shape one had the best in softness. Thus, it is concluded that by varying the ratios of TEOS and MTMS silica-PMSQ composites could be easily synthesized into different shapes, providing various functions. This method can be applied to manufacture functional cosmetics.

실리카와 폴리메틸실세스퀴옥세인(polymethylsilsesquioxane, PMSQ)은 화장품 원료로 널리 쓰이는 실리콘 분체이다. 본 연구팀은 각각 실리카와 PMSQ의 전구체로서 테트라에톡시실란(tetraethyoxysilane, TEOS)과 메틸트라이메톡시실란(methyltrimethoxysilane, MTMS)을 사용하여 졸-겔 법(sol-gel method)을 통해 실리카-PMSQ 복합분체를 합성하였다. 또한, 합성에 사용된 실란 단량체인 TEOS와 MTMS의 단순한 비율 조절만으로 복합분체의 형태 제어에 성공하였다. 실리카-PMSQ 복합분체는 구형, 라즈베리형, 도넛형, 총 3가지 형태를 띠었고, 공통적으로 사용감이 부드럽고 수분산에 용이하며 소프트 포커스 효과를 나타내었다. 복합분체의 형태에 따라서 사용감과 밀착력, 소프트 포커스 효과의 강도에 차이가 있었다. 라즈베리형 복합분체는 가장 강한 소프트 포커스 효과를 보였고, 도넛형 복합분체는 가장 강한 밀착력을 보였으며, 구형 복합분체는 가장 부드러운 사용감을 보였다. 본 연구 결과를 바탕으로, 실리카-PMSQ 복합분체를 원하는 형태로 간편하게 합성할 수 있을 것이다. 더 나아가, 목적에 맞는 복합분체를 선택하여 화장품에 적용할 수 있을 것이다.
