The efficacy study of trinity permeation synergism on anti-aging

Background:More and more consumers are paying attention to skin rejuvenation.However,there is a lack of a non-invasive and efficient solution.Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of a trinity permeation synergism(TPS),which consists of a firming essence,an atomizer and a photoelectric penetrator,for facial anti-aging efficacy.Material and methods:In this work,in vitro cell experiments and human efficacy study were used to evaluate the firming and anti-wrinkle effects.Cell experiments were used to verify the effect of the firming essence on the cell proliferation,migration,and anti-inflammation in keratinocytes(HaCaT),and on the gene expression levels of type I and type III collagen(Col-1 and Col-3)and type I matrix metalloproteinase(MMP-1)in human skin fibroblasts(HSF).After in vitro test,60 women aged 35–60 years were enrolled in the randomized test,of which 30 subjects were randomly selected to be the experimental group and treated with the TPS system,while the left 30 subjects were treated with the firming essence only considered as control.After 28 days,skin elasticity,skin redness value,and skin wrinkles were measured to evaluate the efficacy of the TPS system.Results:Cell experiments showed that the firming essence can significantly improve the proliferation and the migration of HaCaT cells.It also promoted the expression level of Col-1 and Col-3 gene,and inhibited the expression level of MMP-1 gene in HSF cells.After confirming the efficacy of firming essence,the efficacy benefit of the TPS was further studied.The 28-day tests show that combined use firming essence with atomizer and penetrator can significantly increase skin elasticity,reduce skin hemoglobin value and skin wrinkles on Day 28.Moreover,all the mentioned improvements are significantly better than that in the control group.Conclusion:Through efficient delivery in the whole process,TPS boosts the efficacy of active components in the firming essence.TPS offers an efficient,non-invasive,and convenient way for enhanced facial rejuvenation efficacy.

Gas-and plasma-driven hydrogen permeation behavior of stagnant eutectic-solid GaInSn/Fe double-layer structure

Gas-driven permeation(GDP)and plasma-driven permeation(PDP)of hydrogen gas through Ga In Sn/Fe are systematically investigated in this work.The permeation parameters of hydrogen through Ga In Sn/Fe,including diffusivity,Sieverts'constant,permeability,and surface recombination coefficient are obtained.The permeation flux of hydrogen through Ga In Sn/Fe shows great dependence on external conditions such as temperature,hydrogen pressure,and thickness of liquid Ga In Sn.Furthermore,the hydrogen permeation behavior through Ga In Sn/Fe is well consistent with the multilayer permeation theory.In PDP and GDP experiments,hydrogen through Ga In Sn/Fe satisfies the diffusion-limited regime.In addition,the permeation flux of PDP is greater than that of GDP.The increase of hydrogen plasma density hardly causes the hydrogen PDP flux to change within the test scope of this work,which is due to the dissolution saturation.These findings provide guidance for a comprehensive and systematic understanding of hydrogen isotope recycling,permeation,and retention in plasma-facing components under actual conditions.

Improvement of hydrogen permeation barrier performance by iron sulphide surface films

Fe–S compounds with hexagonal crystal structure are potential hydrogen permeation barrier during H2S corrosion. Hexagonal system Fe–S films were prepared on carbon steel through corrosion and CVD deposition, and the barrier effect of different Fe–S films on hydrogen permeation was tested using electrochemical hydrogen permeation method. After that, the electrical properties of Fe–S compound during phase transformation were measured using thermoelectric measurement system. Results show that the mackinawite has no obvious barrier effect on hydrogen penetration, as a p-type semiconductor, and pyrrhotite (including troilite) has obvious barrier effect on hydrogen penetration,as an n-type semiconductor. Hydrogen permeation tests showed peak permeation performance when the surface was deposited with a continuous film of pyrrhotite (Fe_(1–x)S) and troilite. The FeS compounds suppressed hydrogen permeation by the promotion of the hydrogen evolution reaction, semiconducting inversion from p-to n-type, and the migration of ions at the interface.

The Effect of pH on the Permeation of Lidocaine Hydrochloride Across Excised Rat Skin

The effect of pH on the permeation of Lidocaine hydrochloride (LH) across excised rat skin was studied, the steady state flux (JSS) at different pH being determined using improved Valia-Chien diffusion cells. JSS increased substantially when pH was close to the pKa of LH. The profile of JSS versus pH showed an 慡?shaped curve. JSS of Lidocaine free base (LFB) was fourteen times that of LH. The pH of vehicle influences the permeation of LH significantly and should be considered as an important factor when a formulation is developed.

Effect of Molybdenum Doping on Oxygen Permeation Properties and Chemical Stability of SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ

The phase composition, microstructure, thermal expansion coefficients, oxygen permeation properties and chemical stability of SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ （SCFM） were investigated and compared with those of SrCo0.8Fe0.2O3-δ（SCF）. Single phase SCFM was successfully prepared by a combined EDTA-citric method. SCFM shows a lower thermal expansion coefficient （24× 10^-6-29× 10^-6/K） than SCF between 500 and 1050 ℃, indicating a more stable structure. SCFM shows a high oxygen permeation flux, although the oxygen flux of SCFM decreases slightly because of Mo dopant. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the doping of Mo in SCF can prevent the order-disorder transition and improves the chemical stability to CO2.

Properties of hydrogen permeation barrier on the surface of zirconium hydride

A hydrogen permeation barrier was manufactured by the in situ reaction of zirconium hydride with oxygen. A reduction in the hydrogen permeation of the oxide films was detected by measuring the mass difference of the zirconium hydride samples after the dehydrogenation experiment. The reaction of zirconium hydride with oxygen occurs only under the condition that the temperature is higher than 673 K in the oxygen partial pressure of 0.1 MPa. The oxide film is composed of two layers, a permeable oxide layer and a dense oxide layer, and the main phase of the oxide film is ZrO2 with baddeleyite structure. The XPS analysis shows that O-H bonds exist in the oxide film, which are helpful for resisting hydrogen diffusion through the oxide film.

Electrochemical investigation on the hydrogen permeation behavior of 7075-T6 Al alloy and its influence on stress corrosion cracking

The hydrogen permeation behavior and stress corrosion cracking （SCC） susceptibility of precharged 7075-T6 A1 alloy were inves- tigated in this paper. Devanthan-Stachurski （D-S） cell tests were used to measure the apparent hydrogen diffusivity and hydrogen permeation current density of specimens immersed in 3.5wt% NaCl solution. Electrochemical experiment results show that the SCC susceptibility is low during anodic polarization. Both corrosion pits and hydrogen-induced cracking are evident in scanning electron microscope images after the specimens have been charging for 24 h.

Oxygen Permeation Behaviors and Hardening Effect of Titanium Alloys at High Temperature

In order to improve the surface hardness and wear resistance of Ti and Ti alloy components, an oxygen permeation treatment (OPT) was developed. The oxygen permeation behaviors of three Ti alloys, TA2, TB5 and TC11, treated in air with O-P medium at high temperature have been studied. The results show that the 0-P treatment can significantly improve the surface hardness of Ti alloys. The oxidation mass-gain of β-Ti alloy (TB5) is much higher than α-Ti alloy (TA2) under the same condition, while α+β Ti alloy (TC11) is the lowest. All the Ti alloys treated at this condition produce two surface layers: the outer layer consists mainly of TiO2, as well as trace of other oxides, and the inner layer consists of a Ti-O interstitial solid solution formed by the diffusion of oxygen in α crystal lattice. Thick scales of β Ti alloy (TB5) are easily formed depending mainly on the poor solid solution content of oxygen, while deep solution layer can be formed since partial β phase has been transformed into α phase. The scales of α-β Ti alloy (TC11) are very thin and compact. Aluminum-rich zone, as well as deficient zone, is found in oxide layers. A crystallographic characterization of oxygen solution layer has been performed and evaluated by crystallographic lattice constant.

Plasma-Assisted ALD of an Al_2O_3 Permeation Barrier Layer on Plastic

Atomic layer deposition （ALD） technique is used in the preparation of organic/inorganic layers, which requires uniform surfaces with their thickness down to several nanometers. For film with such thickness, the growth mode defined as the arrangement of clusters on the surface during the growth is of significance. In this work, Al2O3 thin film was deposited on various interfacial species of pre-treated polyethylene terephthalate （PET, 12 μm） by plasma assisted atomic layer deposition （PA-ALD）, where trimethyl aluminium was used as the Al precursor and O2 as the oxygen source. The interracial species, -NH3, -OH, and -COOH as well as SiCHO （derived from monomer of HMDSO plasma）, were grafted previously by plasma and chemical treatments. The growth mode of PA-ALD Al2O3 was then investigated in detail by combining results from in-situ diagnosis of spectroscopic ellipsometry （SE） and ex-situ characterization of as-deposited layers from the morphologies scanned by atomic force microscopy （AFM）. In addition, the oxygen transmission rates （OTR） of the original and treated plastic films were measured. The possible reasons for the dependence of the OTR values on the surface species were explored.

Effect of Pulse Frequency and Current Density on Steel Sheet Cleanliness and Hydrogen Permeation

The effect of pulse frequency and current density on the effectiveness ofbiphasic pulse electrocleaning is discussed. Moderate frequency (5Hz) is found to be more effectivethan lower or higher frequency on steel surface cleanliness. A novel interpretation of cyclicvoltammagrams is used to estimate the surface cleanliness. This correlates very well with XPSdetermination of surface carbon levels. This result is discussed in terms of mechanisms ofelectrocleaning. Moderate frequency (5-10Hz) is more effective than lower frequency for inhibitinghydrogen permeation. This method can prevent hydrogen brittleness on the electrocleaninghigh-strength steel.

Oxygen permeation and phase structure properties of partially A-site substituted BaCo_(0.7)Fe_(0.225)Ta_(0.075)O_(3-δ) perovskites

Ba0.9R0.1Co0.TFe0.225Ta0.07503-δ （BRCFT, R = Ca, La or Sr） membranes were synthesized by a solid-state reaction. Metal cation Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋ doping on A-site partially substituted Ba2＋ in BaCoo.TFe0.225Ta0.07503-δ oxides, and its subsequent effects on phase structure stability, oxygen permeability and oxygen desorption were systematically investigated by XRD, TG-DSC, Hz-TPR, O2-TPD techniques and oxygen permeation experiments. The partial substitution with Ca2＋, La3＋ or Sr2＋, whose ionic radii are smaller than that of Ba2＋, succeeded in stabilizing the cubic perovskite structure without formation of impurity phases, as revealed by XRD analysis. Oxygen-involving experi- ments showed that BRCFT with A-site fully occupied by Ba2＋ exhibited good oxygen permeation flux under He flow, reaching about 2.3 mL.min-l .cm-2 at 900 with I mm thickness. Of all the membranes, BLCFT membrane showed better chemical stability in CO2, owing to the reduction in alkalinity of the mixed conductor oxide by La doping. In addition, we also found the stability of the perovskite structure under reducing atmospheres was strengthened by increasing the size of A-site cation （Ba2＋〉La3＋〉SrZ＋〉Ca2＋）.

High Temperature Gaseous Rare-Earth Permeation of Polyoxotungstates: An New Effective Method for the Preparation of Tungsten Bronzes

New polyoxometalate α-K 12H 3[Y(BW 11O 39) 2]·25H 2O was synthesized and treated by high temperature gaseous rare earth permeation to prepare tungsten bronze K 0.475WO 3. XRD, TG-DTA, XPS, 183W-NMR,CV and AC impedance spectra were used to characterize the resulting material. The results of XPS indicate that La has permeated and diffused into the body of the sample and exists in the forms of binding with other components. The crystal structure parameters of K 0.475WO 3 were obtained by the analysis of XRD, which shows tetragonal crystal system with lattice parameters: a=12 28 nm, c=3.833 nm, V=578.48 nm -3. The conductivities calculated from the results of AC impedance spectra of the material increase with the increasing of temperature, which shows a semiconductor character.

Preparation and oxygen permeation properties of SrFe(Cu)O_(3-δ) dense ceramic membranes

Mixed oxygen-ionic and electronic conducting membranes of SrFe（Cu）O3-δ were prepared by solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure, oxygen nonstoichiometry, and phase stability of the materials were studied by TGA and XRD. Oxygen permeation fluxes through these membranes were studied at operating temperature ranging from 750 to 950 ℃. Results showed that doping Cu in SrFeO3-δ compound had a significant effect on the formation of single-phased perovskite structure. For SrFe1-xCu2O3-δ series materials, the oxygen nonstoichiometry and the oxygen permeation flux increased considerably with the increase of Cu-doping content （x = 0.1-0.3）. The sintering property of the membrane decreased significantly when the Cu substitution amount reached 40%. SrFe0.7Cu0.3O3-δ showed high oxygen permeation flux, but SrCuO2 and Sr2Fe2O5 phases formed in the compound after oxygen permeation test induced cracks in the membrane.

Molecular weight determination of a newly synthesized guanidinylated disulfide-containing poly(amido amine) by gel permeation chromatography

A cationic gene delivery vector, guanidinylated disulfide-containing poly(amido amine)(CARCBA), was synthesized by Michael addition reaction between N,N′-cystaminebisacrylamide(CBA) and guanidine hydrochloride(CAR). Gel permeation chromatography(GPC) was used to evaluate the molecular weight of synthesized CAR-CBA. Polyethyleneimine(PEI) with molecular weight of 25 kDa was adopted as a reference, and polyethylene glycols(PEG) with different molecular weights were used to establish a standard curve for determining the molecular weight of CAR-CBA. The effects of two critical factors, namely columns and eluents,on the molecular weight measurement of CAR-CBA were investigated to optimize the GPC quantitative method. The results showed that Ultrahydrogel columns(120, 250) and HAc–NaAc(0.5 M, pH 4.5) buffer solution were the optimal column and GPC eluent, respectively.The molecular weight of the synthesized CAR-CBA was analyzed by the optimized GPC method and determined to be 24.66 kDa.

Hydrogen Permeation Properties of Perovskite-type BaCe_(0.9)Mn_(0.1)O_(3-δ)Dense Ceramic Membrane

The electrical conduction properties of dense BaCe0.9Mn0.1O3-d (BCM10) membrane were investigated in the temperature range of 600-900oC. High ionic and electronic conductivities at elevated temperatures make BCM10 a potential ceramic material for hydrogen separation. Hydrogen permeation through BCM10 membranes was studied using a high- temperature permeation cell. Little hydrogen could be detected at the sweep side. However, appreciable hydrogen can permeate through BCM10 membrane coated with porous platinum black, which shows that the process of hydrogen permeation through BCM10 membranes was controlled by the catalytic decomposition and recomposition of hydrogen on the surfaces of BCM10 membranes.

Effect of plasma surface treatment of poly(dimethylsiloxane) on the permeation of pharmaceutical compounds

This paper addresses the modification of poly(dimethylsiloxane), i.e. PDMS, using plasma surface treatment and a novel application of the membrane created. A set of model compounds were analysed to determine their permeation through PDMS, both with and without plasma treatment. It was found that plasma treatment reduced permeation for the majority of compounds but had little effect on some compounds, such as caffeine,with results indicating that polarity plays an important role in permeation, as is seen in human skin. Most importantly, a direct correlation was observed between plasma-modified permeation data and literature data through calculation of membrane permeability(K_p) values suggesting plasma-modified silicone membrane(PMSM) could be considered as a suitable in vivo replacement to predict clinical skin permeation.

A Comparison of the Inhibiting Effect of CO and CO2 to Hydrogen Permeation and n-Value in Pd and Pd/Ag Membranes Prepared on Alumina Support

The mitigation of the CO inhibition effect in palladium membranes is necessary due to its significance in the efficiency of membrane reactors and hydrogen production systems. In this work, the hydrogen separation performance of a Pd and Pd/Ag membrane both of thickness 2 μm is investigated using a mixed gas with composition (H2 = 50%, CO = 28%, CO2 = 10%, CH4 = 8%, N2 = 4%) at temperature 623 - 873 K and pressure (0.05 - 0.4 bar) was investigated. The component gases CO and CO2 were observed to inhibit hydrogen permeation through the membrane and lead to deviations from Sievert’s law for n values 0.55 and 0.62 for the Pd membrane and unity for the Pd/Ag membrane. For the Pd/Ag membrane, the concentration of CO in the permeate stream was reduced as a result of the addition of Ag. The effect of the component gases to hydrogen permeation was observed to be lower for the Pd/Ag membrane. Annealing the membrane in hydrogen at high temperature decreased the inhibition effect and enhanced hydrogen permeation through the membrane.
