Specification

PHOTOPROTECTIVE COMPOSITIONS AND FILMS, AND A PREPARATION METHOD The present invention relates to compositions and to methods for photoprotecting various materials using particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure obtained from photonic gels. Furthermore, the present invention relates to compositions and to methods of treating human keratinous material. Prior art Current photoprotective compositions use combinations of various screening agents, especially soluble or insoluble organic screens. The absorption spectrum of each of said screens is rarely broad enough to cover the whole UV spectrum, and combinations are necessary. Further, a large number of soluble organic screens may cause compatibility problems with the ingredients usually contained in them, especially as a result of interactions with other organic screens or with active molecules such as antioxidants or vitamins, and their photcstability may not be encirely satisfactory. Many patents are concerned with solving this problem - an indication that this problem crops up repeatedly. Many non-cosmetic industry sectors also use uv screens to photoprotect various materials against the effects of UV radiation, in particular solar radiation. This is particularly true of paint, ink, or protective coating formulations for applying to substances that are permanently exposed to uv radiation, such as construction materials, materials used in the automobile industry, or plastics packaging materials. In particular, UV screens are being developed for colorant formulations that need to be transparent, photostable, compatible with the usual ingredients contained in said formulations, and effective in providing the looked-for color with resistance to light. Similar considerations apply with polymer compositions used in particular in the manufacture of plastics materials that are stable on storage; they need UV light screens to be developed that are particularly- adapted to the methods of manufacturing and transforming polymers, and in particular they need to he able to tolerate the high temperatures used in extrusion. In the natural fiber and/or artificial fibyr and/or synthetic fiber industry, broad spectrum photostable UV screens are being developed that are compatible with methods of manufacturing said fibers, in particular in the context of the manufacture of fibers made of polyamide such as nylon, which are resistant to high temperatures and can incorporate UV protection during extrusion. Further, UV screens are being developed that have good affinity, good adhesion to fibers, and thus in particular can provide good resistance upon frequent washing. The UV screens being developed must also provide both good protection of the textile fibers and also of the skin and other human keratinous material in contact with said fibers. The mineral or organic glass industry, in particular for glass used in ophthalmology, is developing UV screens that need to have a broad spectrum (active in the UVA and in the UV3 regions), and that are photostable, transparent, and compatible with the various techniques for treating glass, such as methods of keying onto the glass matrix or applying a photoprotective coating, for example with polycarbonate glass. Interference materials constituted by a multilayer structure may be used as screening agents. With films having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, the layers may number up to several hundred, for example. Such films may be produced by extrusion, are usually transparent, and are several hundred µm [micrometer] thick. The use of a metal layer, for example of TiO2 or ZnO, can produce greater differences in refractive index and can reduce the number of layers constituting the film. However, films using that technology nay become opaque to visible light and may also prove to be fairly rigid. In a variation, when the films are thick and have a large number of layers, their efficiency may be significantly reduced when they are fragmented into particles. Because of the great, thickness of the films, "edge effects" may very substantially reduce the production of interference. The use of holographic pigments in order to produce a reflection in the UV spectrum is known from application FR 2 921 559. Application FR 2 888 491 discloses a photoprotective composition comprising a screening agent having a multilayer interference structure, the screening agent comprising alternating high refractive index layers and low refractive index layers. "Photonic materials" or "photonic crystals" are known from application US 2009/0086208 that are constituted by a periodic arrangement of at lease two polymeric portions having different dielectric constants. In particular, those polymeric photonic materials contain at least one polymeric portion that is capable, under the influence of an altering stimulus, of producing a change in at least one physical, chemical, or dielectric characteristic including the dimension, shape, dielectric constant, refractive index, color, or other parameter. That change results in modifying a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation diffracted by the photonic material. A photonic gel is a film having a polymeric multilayer structure that may comprise a block polymer that spontaneously forms a periodic lamellar structure during deposition onto a support. Such a material may have interference properties, for example when it is brought into contact with a swelling agent. Photonic gels are known from publications by B. Thomas: Nat Mat Vol 6, 957-96 0, 2008 and J Am Cham soc 2009, 131, 7538 - 7539. There is a need to benefit from novel UV light screening systems adapted to photoprotecting materials such as those mentioned above. There is a need to benefit from non-soluble screening materials that can be used to cover the UVA and/or UVB spectrum, that are completely harmless, inert as regards the environment, are photostable and not photoreactive, that do not have compatibility problems with the other constituents of the compositions containing their., and that do not modify the mechanical properties of the materials of packaging materials in a negative manner. There is a need to benefit from coloring effect materials that are completely harmless, inert as regards the environment, photostable, and not photoreactive, that do not have compatibility problems with the other constituents of the compositions containing them, and that do not modify the mechanical properties of packaging materials in a negative manner, There is also a need to have available polymeric films with a multi-portion structure, in particular having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, with optical properties that are only slightly affected or are unaffected when they are fragmented into particles. The invention, which is intended to satisfy same or all of the needs mentioned above, provides the use of particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure obtained from photonic materials, in particular photonic gels. Summary "Photoprotective™ application Photoprotective compositions ana films In first exemplary embodiments the inven.tion provides a photoprotective composition, in particular a cosmetic, including particles of photonic material. The particles o£ photonic material may in particular be particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure with at least two layers comprising a polymer. Said polymer may be an amphophilic polymer defining at least two layers of said structure. In other words, at least two layers of said structure may be formed by an amphophilic polymer. In the context of the invention, the term "photoprotective composition" is used to mean a composition that is capable of protecting any material, in particular human keratinous materials, against UV radiation. In particular it has a transmission factor, measured before application to said material, that is less than or equal to 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or even more preferably less than or equal to 1%, for at least one wavelength in the range 2 50 nm no 400 nm, more preferably over the whole of said range. Screening is much better when the transmission factor over the range 250 ran to 400 nm is low. In the context of the invention, the term "photonic material" is used for a polymeric material comprising a plurality of different portions arranged in a periodic manner, capable of interfering with electromagnetic radiation and of modifying it, with at least a first and a second portion each having a respective dielectric constant and a respective abiliry to modify the electromagnetic radiation dimensionally by at least 5 nm such that the portions define a ratio of dielectric constants of at least 1 for a continuous wavelength range from 10 nm to 10 micrometers when subjected to an altering stimulus. In the context of the invention, the term "polymeric multilayer interference structure" is used for a stack of at least two layers of polymer, preferably more than two layers, the stack being capable of producing interference, for example in order to screen UV, and for example to provide protection against UVA, thereby limiting browning of the skin, and/or to produce a color and/or to lighten the complexion and/or to modify the spectral reflectance, depending on the application. The interference may provide the polymeric multilayer interference structure with a transmission spectrum including one or more transmission minima or a reflection spectrum including one or more reflection peaks in the wavelength range 250 nm to 800 nm. The term "amphiphilic polymer" should be understood to mean a polymer comprising a hydrophilic group and a hydrophobic group.

The polymer is, for example, an amphophilic polymer, for example as defined above, The term "polymer having a UV screen within it" should be understood to mean that particles having UV screening properties and that are distinct from the groups forming said polymer are imprisoned in the structure formed by said polymer. In other words, the UV screen is present in addition to said polymer in the structure formed thereby. According to other exemplary embodiments the invention provides a film that photoprotects against solar UV radiation, for application to a material, in particular to human keratinous materials, the film including a photonic material, in particular a multilayer interference structure screening solar UV radiation, in which at least two layers comprise an amphophilic polymer. The amphophilic polymer may define at least two layers of the polymeric multilayer interference structure screening solar UV radiation. In other words, as with the particles, at least two layers of the structure may be formed by an amphophilic polymer. According to other exemplary embodiments the invention provides a photoprotective film for application to a material, in particular to human keratinous materials, comprising a photonic material, more particularly a polymeric multilayer interference structure, comprising a polymer having a UV screen within it for example as defined above. The photoprotective films described above may be applied to a material, for example selected from materials manufactured from at least one synthetic or natural polymer, organic or mineral glasses, and materials comprising at least natural fibers and/or artificial fibers and/or synthetic fibers such as textiles or papers. The formulations for the photoprotective films are selected in such a manner that they have a transmission factor, measured before application to the material of interest, in particular to keratinous materials, that is less than or equal to 70%, 60%, 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, 5%, or even better preferably less than or equal to 1%, for at least one wavelength in the range 2 50 nm to 400 nm, more preferably over the whole of said range. Screening is even better when the transmission factor over the range 25 0 run to 400 nm is low.

Photonic materials and polymeric multilayer interference structures The particular structural arrangement of the various portions of the material and the dielectric constants of said portions may result in reflection, in at least one direction, of electromagnetic radiation of a particular frequency directed onto the material. The structural arrangement of the various portions of material and the dielectric constants of said portions may form photonic materials that diffract or reflect light about a particular frequency or frequencies. In particular, the polymeric photonic materials contain at least one polymeric portion that is capable of producing a change in at least one physical, chemical, or dielectric characteristic including the dimension, shape, dielectric constant, refractive index, color, or other parameters by means of an altering stimulus. This change has the result of modifying a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation diffracted by the photonic material. As an example, a change in dimension (i.e. volume change) may be produced by swelling of one of the portions of the photonic material my means of a solvent type swelling agent. The dimensional change may modify the structural arrangement of the photonic material and as a result the dielectric constant of one of the portions of the material, or it may modify the electromagnetic radiation reflected hy the photonic material. As an example, a modification of the optical properties nay in particular be due to a periodic type spacing between similar portions. The photonic material may comprise a firs:: portion that is reactive to an altering stimulus producing a change in volume or another dimension and a second portion that is non reactive or that is reactive to another type of stimulation. Photonic materials or photonic crystals are capable of diffracting and/or reflecting electromagnetic radiation over a wide range of wavelengths including the visible, ultraviolet, infrared, and microwave wavelengths. In some circumstances, they may diffract electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength lying in the range 100 run to 1600 run. In other circumstances, photonic materials are capable of exhibiting spectacular wavelength shifts of the order of 600% under the action of an external stimulus. In a particular embodiment of the invention, the dimension of the electromagnetic radiation of at least one of the portions changes relative to another portion such that one wavelength of diffracted electromagnetic radiation is modified by at least 10 nmr at least 25 nm, at least 50 nm, at least 150 nm, at least 2 00 nm, or at least 250 run under the influence of an altering stimulus (i.e. swelling agent}. The photonic materials of the invention may also produce changes in the wavelength of the diffracted electromagnetic radiation of at least 50%, at least 25% or at least 10%. As an example, a photonic material of the invention may diffract electromagnetic radiation of more than 700 nm (infrared, microwave) , when in the presence of an altering stimulus, the dimension of -he electromagnetic radiation of at least one of the portions may change relative no the other portion such that one wavelength of electromagnetic radiation diffracted by the photonic material is modified by at least 1%, 5%, 10%, 25% cr more. The percentage change in said diffracted wavelength may be calculated using the following equation: [ Ui -A0) /A0j X 100 in which Ao corresponds to the peak of the diffracted wavelength before contact with, or in the absence of, an altering stimulus, and A3. corresponds to the peak of the wavelength diffracted during contact with the altering stimulus. Photonic materials in accordance with the invention are described in application US 2009/0086208 and they are prepared using the methods indicated in that document. Photonic material films and particles, in particular having a__polymeric multilayer__interference structure In the context of" the invention, the terms "photonic naterials" and in particular the "polymeric multilayer interference structures" encompass films and particles of photonic materials, in particular having a polymeric multilayer interference structure. In the context of the invention, particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, may be present within a cosmetic composition. The weight content, relative to the total composition weight, of the particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, may be in the range 0.1% to 50%, for example in the range 1% to 20%, for example in the range 5% to 15%. It is also possible to use photonic material films, in particular films having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, said films possibly being applied to keratinous materials as well as to materials such as those mentioned above. Said films may be deposited locally on a portion of the external surface of the keratinous materials, for example for protection from solar UV radiation, or to lighten the complexion or for making up, for example to even out the complexion. Sa^ci films may be cut into any format and may, for example, be used to conceal skin imperfections: spots, wrinkles, vitiligo, etc The films of the invention may optionally be adhesive. The films may be adhesive, for example when intended for application to keratinous materials, for example the skin. The films of the invention may be formed in situ on the keratinous materials. Size and form of the polymeric multilayer interference Structures Figure 1 shows a particle having a polymeric multilayer interference structure according to the invention. In the absence or in the presence of a swelling agent, the length Li and the width r..2 of the particle may- be in the range 1 pm to 100 pi. The thickness L3 of particle iTiay be in the range 0.1 µm to 50 µm in the absence of a swelling agent, and in the range 0,1 p to 100 µm in the presence of a swe11i ng agen t. in the absence or in the presence of a swelling agent, the particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure may have a largest dimension of 100 urn or less- In the absence of a swelling agent, -he pax'ticles may have a largest dimension of 100 µm or less, for example 7 5 urn or less, for example 50 µm or less. In the absence or in the presence of a swelling agent, the particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure may have a smallest dimension cf 0.1 µm or more, for example 1 pa or more. The film having a polymeric multilayer interference structure iray have a largest dimension in the range 1 irt. to 5 0 cm. The polymeric multilayer interference structures may have a form factor in the range 1 to 1000. The term "form factor" means the ratio of the largest dimension of the polymeric multilayer interference structure to its smallest dimension. The polymeric multilayer interference structures may be plate-like, i.e. have a form factor at least equal to 3, for example at least equal to 10. The polymeric multilayer interference structures may have a lamellar structure, linked to the presence of an amphophilic polymer, for example. The amphophilic polymer may have a lamellar structure. The polymeric multilayer interference structures may comprise at least three layers, for example at least 5, 10 or 50, The polymeric multilayer interference structures may comprise fewer than 100 layers. Method for preparing the polymeric multilayer interference structure As mentioned above, the particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure may be obtained from a photonic gel, which may be produced as described in the publications by E. Thomas: Nat Ma- Vol 6, 957-960, 2006 and J Am Chem Soc 2009, 131, 7538 - 7539. Figure 2 shows an example of a method of fabricating films and particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure of the invention. A pho-onic gel is obtained in the form of a film (step i! , for exair.ple by spreading with a film puller, by dip-coating or by spin-coating and by any printing method, for example by ink jet printing a solution of amphophilic block polymer in a solvent. When deposited on a support, it organizes itself spontaneously into a multilayer polymeric structure, for example a lamellar structure. The photonic gel then comprises alternating hydrophiiic and hydrophobic layers. The number of layers of the multilayer structure of the photonic gel nay be 100 or less and its thickness after drying may be 15um or less. After deposition and in the absence of a swelling agent, the photonic gel need not have an interference property in the wavelength range 250 ran to 800 nm. The photonic gel may be quaternized, for example by contact with 1-broruoethane, as described in the publication Nat Mat Vol 6, 957-960, 2008. Contact with a swelling agent (step III) , of nature that is given in detail below, may cause the photonic gel to swell, for example in. its hydrophilic or hydrophobic layers, and thus produce a polymeric multilayer interference structure. As is detailed below, ~he step of contact with the swelling agent may be used advantageously in order to introduce one or more UV screens and/or one or more fluorescent agents and/or one or more coloring agents into the polymeric multilayer structure. The interference wavelength may vary as a function of the concentration, the difference in refractive index between the various layers, the pH of the swelling agent, the molecular weight and the degree of cross-linking cf the polymers present in the polymeric multilayer interference structure. By varying these parameters, it is possible, for example, to cover the whole UVA or UVB spectrum. In Figures 3 and 4, for the purposes of clarity, the relative proportions of the various elements shown have not necessarily been maintained. Figure 3 diagrammatically and partially shows a photonic gel 1 deposited on a support S before contacc with a swelling agent. This photonic gel 1 comprises a polymeric multilayer structure that may, for example and as illustrated, be constituted by alternating hydrophilic 10 and hydrophobic 2 0 lamellar layers. In the embodiment shown "in Figure 3, the photonic gel is transparent to radiation R having, for example, a wavelength in the range 250 mu to 80 0 nm. The term "transparent" means that the photonic gel has no band gap in the wavelength range 450 nm to 8 00 nm. As an example, the photonic gel may have a transmission factor of 80% or more, for example 90% in the wavelength range under consideration. Figure 4 shows the photonic gel 1 of Figure 3 after contact with a swelling agent. In the example of Figure 4, only rhe hydrophobic layers 20 are sensitive to the swelling agent. In a variation, it is possible for only the hydrophilic layers 10 to be sensitive to the swelling agent. As shown, contact with a swelling agent may allow a photonic gel 1 to reflect the radiation R and, for example, provide photoprot-active properties as regards solar UV radiation and/or produce a visible color. The films of the invention may be used once the swelling step has been carried out. A coagulation step (step IV} of coagulating the photonic gel may be carried out after bringing the polymeric multilayer structure into contact with the swelling agent, preferably before or after the fragmentation step. It may comprise bringing the polymeric multilayer structure into contact with a coagulation agent that may be an inorganic material such as silica or its precursors, for example TEOS, or a glycol, for example glycerol, dipropylene glycol, sorbitol, butylene glycol, PEGs having molecular weights in the range 4 00 g/moi to 50000 g/mol. A coagulation step employing a silica precursor, TEOS, in a sol-gel method is described in the publication J Am Cherr. Soc 2G0S, 131, 7533 - 7539. Carrying out a coagulation step may mean that the particles can retain their physico-chemical properties, especially their interference properties, after dispersing them in a cosmetically acceptable medium. The compositions including particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure comprising a coagulation agent may retain their interfereuce properties during application and for at least 2 hours, for example 3 hours after applying the composition to the keratinous materials. The films having a polymeric multilayer interference structure comprising a coagulation agent may retain their interference properties during application and for at least 2 hours, for example 3 hours after applying the composition to the keratinous materials. Fragmentation step (V) tor fragmenting the polymeric multilayer structure of the photonic gel may be carried out, as illustrated in Figure 2, after the step of making contact with a swelling agenu. and after any step of making contact with a coagulation agent. In a variation, it is possible to carry out the fragmentation step before the step of making contact with a swelling agent, and then to carry out any coagulation step. Fragmentation may, for example, be carried out by laser cutting or milling with an air jet, cryorniiiing, ball milling, or wet milling. Swelling agent In some exemplary embodiments, the photonic material, in particular the polymeric multilayer interference structure, may further include a swelling agent (in particular a non-vclatile swelling agent) in 3 quantity that can swell one or both portions of said material. The swelling agent may, for example, be a mineral oil when the photonic material comprises a polybutadiene / styrene block copolymer in order to swell the polybutadiene portion. Any appropriate solvent may be used as the swelling agent, such as aqueous or organic solvents, for example. In some particular embodiments of the invention, an acidic, neutral, or basic solvent may be used. in the context of the invention, the particles of photonic material, in particular par-ides having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, may include a swelling agent. The swelling agent may be hydrcphilic or hydrophobic depending on the nature of the photonic material portions, in particular the layers of the polymeric multilayer interference structure, which are caused to swell. The swelling agent may include at least one dissolved optically active material, for example a UV screen, a fluorescent agent, a coloring agent and mixtures thereof, The optically active material may, for example, be hydrophobic ox~ hydrophilic. The swelling agent may, for example, comprise a mixture of op-ically active materials, for example a mixture of a UV screen and a fluorescent agent, a mixture of a UV screen and a coloring agent, a mixture of a fluorescent agent and a coloring agent or indeed a mixture of a UV screen, a fluorescent agent and a coloring agent. It is possible to use water as the swelling agent, as well as organic or inorganic saline solutions with a concentration in the range C. 01 M to 5 M, for example solutions of sodium, magnesium, potassium, calcium or copper salts, solutions of phosphates, or ammonium salt solutions. It is also possible to use as the swelling agent, either alone, as a mixture, or in aqueous solution ar.d in any proportions, glycerol, PEGs having a molecular weight in the range 400 g/mel to 50000 g/'mol, mono-, di- and cligo-saccharides thar are soluble in water in a proportion of at least 1% by weight, sorbitol, propylene glycol, diprcpylene glycol, ethylene glycol, butylene glycol, water-soluble polyols, lower alcohols tha: are rtiiscible in water, for example methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, or 1-butanol.

The swelling agent may further comprise or even consist of a UV screen solution, for example organic, neutralized or not neutralized. The following solutions may be mentioned: terephthalylidene dicamphor SULFONIC ACID, lor example Mexoryl SX or PHENYLBEtfZIMIDAZOLE SULFONIC ACID, for example Eusolex 232. Using a solution of non-neutralized organic UV screen(s) would mean that the pH could be varied and thus the swelling of the photonic material, especially the polymeric multilayer structure, for example the amphophilic polymer, can also be varied. The swelling agent may also be selected from polar oils such as lauroyl isopropyl sarcosinate, octyldodecanol, a C12-Ci5 alkylbensoate {Finsolv TN) , imaecane and tridecane, for example, as well as oily solutions of organic screens, for example when the particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, for example the amphiphilic polymer, comprise at least a portion, in particular a layer, which is hydrophobic and sensitive to the swelling agent. The pH of the swelling agent may be in the range 1 to 12 . it may be modified by contact with acids and bases selected, for example, from acetic, lactic, hydrochloric, nitric, sulfuric, maleic, and succinic acid, and bases such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, triethanolamine, or solutiong of lysine and arginine. Fixing agent The particles of photonic material, in particular particles having a polymeric multilayer interference structure, may include a fixing agent.

The difference in the refractive index of the fixing agent and the layers of the polymeric multilayer interference structure may be in the range 0.05 to 1.5.

Furthermore, the photonic materials of the invention may contain other polymeric, or . non-polymeric additives that may be used to modify the dimension, the chemical or the physical properties of at least one of the portions. In addition, a non-polymeric additive present in the structure of the photonic material may constitute a region separating two portions within the periodic structure. As an example, the size of the separated polymeric portions may be controlled by modifying a fraction of the volume of the portion, for example by incorporating auxiliary nanoparticles, auxiliary horaopoiymers, auxiliary monomers, or cross-linkable compounds ~hat are polymerized, grafted, and/or cross- linked in situ. The additives such as those mentioned above nay be used to modify the number/type of the portion and/or the dimensions of the portion but will noi: influence the behavior of rhe photonic material under the influence of an altering stimulus.

The term "periodic structure" is used to mean a structure arranged such that a straight line in at least one direction passes through said structure and intersects at least two separate portions at regular' intervals. As an example, a "one-dimensional structure" is a structure that may be oriented in an orthogonal system of coordinates in three dimensions {components in the X, Y, 2 directions) such that a straight line in a single direction passes through said structure and intersects an lease two separated portions at regular integrals. A "twc-dimsnsional structure" is a structure that may be oriented in a 3-dimensional coordinate system such that straight lines in. two directions pass through- said structure and intersect at least two separate portions at regular intervals.

The photonic gels described in Examples 11 to 13 could be fragmented using the method of Example 2. The photonic gels described above, for example the colored photonic gels of Examples 11 to 13, could be coagulated by the action of a silica precursor (TEOS) or with glycerol, as in Example 3. Example 14: Reflection spectrum of a photonic gel Figure 5 shows two absorption spectra of a PS-P2VP photonic gel from the publication Wat Mat. Vol 6, 957-960, 2008. The absorption peaks measured correspond to the transmission minima and to the reflection peaks of the photonic gel. In the absence of a swelling agent, the absorption spectrum had no peak and the photonic gel did not have interference properties. in contrast, when the photonic gel was swollen with pure water, the absorption spectrum could, as shown, have 5 reflection bands each corresponding to a distinct order of interference. The peak in the UV in this example corresponds to an order of interference of 5. Unless otherwise specified, the expression "comprising a" should be construed as meaning "comprising at least one".
