In the field of makeup cosmetics, especially, powder-based foundations such as two-way cake, pact and face powder, the quality of which is known to be strongly influenced by the properties of powder, surface treatment technology is widely used as a method to improve the various characteristics of powder texture, wear properties, dispersion ability and so on. The two-way cake or pressed-powder foundation is one of the familiar makeup products in Asian market for deep covering and finishing purpose. In spite of the relent progress in surface modification method such as composition of powders with different characteristics and application of a diversity of coating ingredient (metal soap, amino acid, silicone and fluorine), this product possess a technical difficulty to enhance both of the adhesion power and spreadability on the skin in addition to potential claim of consumer about heavy or thick feeling. This article is covering the preparation and coating method of nano-vesicle that mimic the double-layered lipid lamellar structure existing between the corneocytes of the stratum corneum in the skin for the purpose of improving both of two important physical characteristic of two-way cake, spreadability and adhering force to skin, and obtining better affinity to skin. Nano-vesicle was prepared using the high-pressure emulsifying process of lecithin, pseudo ceramide, butylene glycol and tocopheryl acetate. This nano-sized emulsion was added to powder-dispersed aqueous phase together with bivalent metal salt solution and then the filtering and drying procedure was followed to yield the nano-vesicle coated powder. The amount of nano-vesicle coated on the powder was able to regulated by the concentration of metal salt and this novel powder showed the lower friction coefficient, more uniform condition of application and higher adhesive powder comparing with the alkyl silane treated powder from the test result of spreadability and wear properties using friction meter and air jet method. Two-wav cake containing newly developed coated powder with nano-vesicle showed the similar advantages in the frictional and adhesive characteristics.

The aim of this study was to investigate the shear bond strength between zirconia ceramic and resin cement according to various surface treatments. The surface of each zirconia ceramic was subjected to one of the following treatments and then bonded Rely X Unicem or Rely X ARC resin cement; (1) Rocatec system and $50{\mu}m$ surface polishing, (2) No treatment and $50{\mu}m$ surface polishing, (3) Rocatec system and $1{\mu}m$ surface polishing, (4) No treatment and $1{\mu}m$ surface polishing. Each of eight bonding group was tested in shear bond strengths by universal testing machine(Z020, Zwick, Ulm, Germany) with crosshead speed of 1mm/min. The results were as follows; 1. Rocatec treatment groups showed greater bonding strengths than No Rocatec groups. There was significant difference of among groups(P<0.001) 2. For Rocatec groups, $50{\mu}m$ surface roughness groups showed greater bonding strengths than $1{\mu}m$ surface roughness groups.(P<0.001) But for No Rocatec groups, There was no significant difference of among groups(P>0.05) 3. Rely X Unicem groups showed greater bonding strengths than Rely X ARC groups. There was significant difference of among groups(P<0.01) Within the conditions of this study, Rocatec treatment was an effective way of increasing zirconia bonds to a resin cement, even in the case of self-adhesive resin cement.
