A luz do sol possui radiação ultravioleta (UV) que pode ser dividida em luz UVA, com comprimentos de onda na região de 400 a 320 nm; luz UV-B, na região de 320 a 290 nm e luz UV-C para radiações com comprimento de onda menor do que 290 nm, sendo esta última absorvida na atmosfera pelo ozônio. O ser humano dispõe de mecanismos protetores naturais contra as radiações solares, tal como a melanogênese. Entretanto, estes são insuficientes e, por isso, torna-se necessário proteger adequadamente a pele utilizando protetores solares, a fim de minimizar as lesões cutâneas causadas pela radiação solar. Quimicamente, a função dos protetores solares é a absorção da radiação UV, protegendo a pele dos efeitos da exposição à luz solar. Este trabalho visa a preparação de compostos de cério, via método Pechini, com a finalidade de utilizá-los como um componente inorgânico de protetores solares de elevado FPS, juntamente ou substituindo substâncias tais como ZnO e TiO2. A caracterização dos compostos deverá ser realizada por difratometria de raios X, microscopias de eletrônicas de varredura e transmissão, espectroscopia eletrônica de reflectância difusa (ERD) e testes de atividade catalítica e fotocatalítica, pelo método da determinação condutométrica (adaptação RANCIMAT®). / Sunlight emits ultraviolet radiation (UV) which is subdivided into three different UV wavelengths: UV-A band in the range of 400-320 nm; UV-B band in the range of 320-290 nm and UV-C band for radiations lesser than 290 nm. The latter is absorbed in the atmospheres ozone layer. Human beings have natural protective mechanisms against solar radiations, such as melanogenys. However, it has been reported that these mechanisms are insufficient to prevent skin damage. Thus, adequate the use of sunscreen (or UV filters) is needed in order to minimize cutaneous injuries caused by solar radiation. Chemically, the function of solar protectors relies on the absorption of UV radiation, which protects the skin from the effect of the exposition to solar light. The present study reports on the synthesis of CeO2-ZnO systems according to Pechini\'s method. Our objective is to further understand how ZnO modifies the CeO2 nanostructured as we search for a new UV filter material. The characterization of composites will be carried through by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), diffuse reflectance spectroscopic and tests of catalytic activity and photocatalytic activity, for the method of the conductometric determination (RANCIMAT adaptation).

Sun protection has gained worldwide attention because repetitive overexposure to ultraviolet radiation can result in harmful effects on human skin, including sunburn, premature skin ageing, and in the worst case, skin cancer (Eckhardt and Rohwer, 2000; Sengupta and Blain, 2001). The diminishing stratospheric ozone layer, due to environmental degradation in the past few decades, combined with the modern outdoor-oriented lifestyles, are leading to unexpected levels of skin cancer (Davis, Capjack, Kerr, and Fedosejevs, 1997). Wearing Ultraviolet protective clothing is a simple way of practicing sun safety; however, regular cotton generally has very low ultraviolet protection and it is one of the most environmentally damaging crops despite of it is commonly used to make summer clothing. With the increased interest of public awareness related to sustainability and environmental issues, naturally colored cotton was recommended as it provides better ultraviolet protection than regular cotton. In addition, the production of naturally colored cotton is more environmentally friendly than regular cotton. Although several studies have been conducted on the UVR protection of naturally colored cotton, many questions regarding the factors that influence the UVR protection of fabrics remain unanswered. The primary purpose of the study was to examine the effects of perspiration application, weathering exposures, washing action of automatic home clothes washers, and repeated laundering on the UVR protection of a NC lightweight cotton fabric. In addition, five fabric property changes in the test specimen after the treatments of perspiration, weathering exposure, washing action, and repeated laundering (i.e., fabric count change, thickness change, weight change, color change and dimensional change) were included in this study to serve as secondary dependent variables to examine if the four treatment factors (i.e., perspiration application, weathering exposures, washing action of automatic home clothes washers, and repeated laundering) will cause changes in these five fabric properties, and if these changes will lead to changes of UVR protection of NC lightweight cotton fabric. Based on the purpose and objectives of the study, a split-plot repeated measures experimental design was used for the current study. In this study, the whole plot treatment was the weathering exposure, which contained three levels (i.e., semi-tropical climate without water spray, semi-arid climate, and standard conditioning), and the split plot treatments were the combinations of two treatment factors. In order to understand the effects of repeated laundering on the UVR protection and the five fabric properties, except for the control group, all test specimens were laundered after being treated with the three treatment factors (i.e., perspiration, weathering exposure, and washing action), and this process was repeated 15 times. The UVR protection (i.e., express in UPF value change in current study) and the five fabric properties of these treated test specimens were measured before laundering, and after each laundering cycle. The results of UPF value change showed that test specimens treated with perspiration had a lower change in UPF value than the specimens without treatment. The test specimens exposed to Florida condition had the most UPF value change, followed by Arizona and Standard textile testing conditions. A significant difference also found in test specimens that laundered in a traditional washer after ninth cycle and the UPF value decreased as the number of laundering cycle increased. However, test specimens that laundered in a front-loading HE washer showed no significant UPF value change. For the five fabric properties that listed in secondary objective, all four treatments significantly influenced fabric count, fabric thickness and fabric weight. However, perspiration treatment had no significant effect on the dimensional change in warp direction of test specimens, and washing action had no significant effect on the dimensional change in filling direction of the test specimen as well as both Delta E and Delta L of color change. For testing the relationship between the changes of the five fabric properties and UPF value change, Delta E and Delta L of color change had the highest correlation coefficient with UPF value change. Therefore, it is possible that the changes of these two properties caused by the four treatments and lead to the UPF value change. Future research is needed to confirm this relationship. In conclusion, of perspiration application, weathering exposures, washing action of automatic home clothes washers, and repeated laundering do have influence on the ultraviolet protection of the naturally colored cotton. The color change of the test specimens caused by these four treatments possible lead to the change of the ultraviolet protection of the test specimens. More studies are needed to confirm this relationship. / Ph. D.

The parcel shelf in a car is one of the things that are most exposed to ultraviolet light and heat. The sunlight causes ultraviolet radiation and excessive heat to this area. This can cause the material to degrade, fade or drift in colour. The parcel shelf production is today divided between three producers. This requires a good contact and cooperation between the different actors. As the automobile industry is a very complex industry, high demand is required of everyone involved. The goal of this study was to find improvements that could lead to a better ultraviolet and heat protection. Volvo Cars provided material and the experiments were held on their test facility. The tests were conducted based on the Volvo Cars requirements and methods. A Weather-Ometer is used to simulate the ultraviolet light and heat, the same way a parcel shelf is exposed to outdoors. Chemical analyses are used to determine whether there is any difference in the material when it is aged in a Weather-Ometer or not. The parcel shelf is made of needle punched, dispersed dyed polyester. The results showed that the present parcel shelf material does indeed show a colour shift after ageing. The authors present a number of suggestions to improve the material's characteristics. For example, Volvo could consider using an acrylic non-woven instead of polyester. Dyes that withstand ultraviolet radiation better can also be chosen and a variety of ultraviolet absorbers can be added. 2-(2-hydroxy-5-carboxy-phenyl)-2H-benzotriazole, Tinuvin P, 327 [2-(2-hydroxy-5-methyl-phenyl) 2H-benzotriazole, 2-(3,5-butyl-6-hydroxy)-2H-2-chloro-benzotriazole respectively] and 2,4-dihydroxy-benzophenone are example of absorbers that can be added to make the ultraviolet resistance better. / Program: Textilingenjörsutbildningen

L’exposition au soleil, et donc aux rayons ultraviolets, est de plus en plus fréquente chez l’homme dans les pays occidentaux. En effet, les modes de vie ont fortement changé ces dernières années, avec pour résultat une augmentation non négligeable des loisirs en extérieur. Ceci a pour conséquence une augmentation de l’apparition des cancers cutanés, dont le pronostic de survie est souvent mauvais et l’issue fatale. De plus, les traitements associés à ces maladies sont lourds et n’agissent pas toujours de façon efficace. Les campagnes d’information et de prévention face aux dangers du soleil restent donc les principales mesures efficaces pour lutter contre le cancer cutané lié à une surexposition au soleil. La recherche de nouveaux produits permettant de protéger de manière efficace la peau des effets néfastes des rayons UV reste donc un défi permanent et primordial pour la recherche dans l’industrie cosmétique. <p><p> Dans un premier temps, le travail a consisté à développer des nouvelles formulations de produits solaires contenant des concentrations élevées en filtres UV, conditionnées sous forme d’aérosol, celles-ci valables pour le marché européen. Une émulsion E/H et une émulsion E/Si ont donc été réalisées. Elles contenaient au final 27% de filtres UV pour l’émulsion E/H et 16,5% de filtres UV pour l’émulsion E/Si, dont 4% de filtres inorganiques pour les deux types d’émulsion. Leur viscosité était de 6800 mPa.s pour l’émulsion E/H et de 2800 mPa.s pour l’émulsion E/Si. Ces formulations étaient stables lorsqu’elles étaient conservées pendant 2 mois à 40°C et également lorsqu’elles subissaient 5 cycles de température entre 5°C et 40°C. La mise en aérosol de ces émulsions a nécessité l’utilisation de 22% de gaz propulseur (mélange :butane, propane, isobutane). <p>La taille des gouttelettes étant un paramètre important de la caractérisation des aérosols pour le choix des matériaux à utiliser ainsi que pour sécurité afin d’éviter toute inhalation pulmonaire, l’influence de différents éléments sur celle-ci a été étudiée. Nous avons ainsi montré que la concentration en gaz, la viscosité, la présence ou non de filtres inorganiques ainsi que le choix des valves et diffuseurs utilisés jouent un rôle dans la taille des gouttelettes émises, celle-ci ne pouvant pas être inférieure à 30 µm de diamètre. La taille des gouttelettes émises était supérieure à 50 µm avec pas plus de 0.1% ayant une taille inférieure à 10 µm et maximum 25% des gouttelettes ayant une taille comprise entre 10 et 30 µm. <p><p> Les produits formulés contenaient de grandes quantités en filtres solaires, organiques et inorganiques (27% pour l’émulsion E/H et 16,6% pour l’émulsion E/Si), il était donc important de vérifier qu’aucun des filtres présents dans les émulsions ne passaient à travers la peau lors de l’application des produits solaires. En effet, ceux-ci doivent rester à la surface de l’épiderme afin de maintenir l’efficacité des produits solaires et d’éviter des effets néfastes systémiques éventuels en pénétrant la peau. Une étude in vitro utilisant de la peau humaine excisée et des cellules de diffusion de Franz nous a permis de constater que les filtres inorganiques présents dans les formulations restaient en surface de la peau, et seulement deux des filtres organiques (l’EMC et MBBT) présentaient un potentiel de pénétration cutanée négligeable et non nocif pour la santé humaine (maximum 1,21 µg/ml/cm2 pour EMC et maximum 0,14 µg/ml/cm2 pour MBBT). De plus, après 24 h d’expérience, plus de 50% des filtres restaient à la surface de la peau, ce qui permettait de maintenir l’efficacité des produits solaires. Afin de mener à bien cette étude, des méthodes analytiques pour l’analyse simultanée des filtres solaires organiques d’une part, par CLHP (Chromatographie Liquide Haute Performance), et inorganiques d’autre part, par ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma - Optical Emission Spectrometry), ont été mises au point et validées. <p>Une étude in vivo non invasive, basée sur le prélèvement des couches successives du stratum corneum, a été réalisée par la suite. Cette dernière a été effectuée par la méthode du « tape stripping », qui utilise des disques adhésifs rigides, et sur 9 volontaires pendant une période de 8 h. Elle a permis de confirmer les résultats obtenus avec la méthode in vitro. Une bonne corrélation entre ces deux types d’étude a été observée. <p><p> Enfin, la dernière partie du travail a porté sur l’EMC, un des filtres organiques utilisé dans la plupart des produits solaires mis sur le marché et dans les émulsions E/H et E/Si formulées. Ce filtre présente une sensibilité à la lumière et aux rayons UV. L’encapsulation lipidique de celui-ci a donc été envisagée afin de produire des nanoparticules dont la matrice lipidique a pour but de protéger l’EMC contre une dégradation causée par les rayons UV. Trois lipides différents ont été investigués et ont montré des résultats positifs de protection vis-à-vis des rayonnements UV. En effet, après 2 h d’irradiation par les UV, une perte d’efficacité de 30% de l’EMC pur a été observée contre 10% à 21% pour l’EMC encapsulé par les différents lipides. De plus, les nanoparticules n’ont pas montré de potentiel d’augmentation de pénétration cutanée de l’EMC. <p> / Doctorat en Sciences biomédicales et pharmaceutiques / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

O objetivo principal deste trabalho foi desenvolver um equipamento capaz de expor as lentes de óculos de sol de maneira automática, de forma que simule o uso do acessório pelas pessoas, por um período equivalente ao tempo de uso de um mesmo modelo pela população brasileira e, através das medidas realizadas nas lentes após a exposição prolongada ao sol, verificar o comportamento da transmitância dos raios pela lente, principalmente dos raios UV, e assim, determinar se as lentes se degradam com o tempo. A partir dos resultados, espera-se complementar os estudos teóricos em desenvolvimento pelos pesquisadores do LIO sobre a equivalência entre os testes em simuladores solares e a exposição real ao sol, colaborando para a adequação dos parâmetros apresentados na norma nacional (NBR ISO 12312-1:2015) e internacional (ISO 12312-1:2013). Os parâmetros utilizados nos testes de certificação da norma nacional são os mesmos dos utilizados na internacional e que foram criados para representar as condições de radiação solar na Europa. Tendo conhecimento dos fatores que influenciam os níveis de radiação UV que atingem a Terra fica evidenciado que estes níveis são maiores nas regiões mais próximas do Brasil do que da Europa. Segundo estudos, uma otimização geográfica da norma brasileira deve ser considerada, levando-se em conta as diferenças nos índices UV do Brasil e da Europa. Além disso, os parâmetros para o teste de resistência à radiação em óculos de sol utilizados no Brasil, devem ser revistos para garantir que as condições simuladas sejam suficientes para garantir a proteção UV para as exposições típicas dos óculos ao Sol. A metodologia consistiu no desenvolvimento do protótipo para exposição automática de lentes de óculos de sol, além do desenvolvimento do sistema de medição do índice UV. Por fim, é descrito o teste realizado com uma miniatura de painel para exposição não controlada das lentes e a técnica e equipamentos utilizados para medição da transmitância luminosa e UV das lentes antes e depois da exposição ao Sol. Este protótipo consiste de uma caixa para proteção dos sistemas mecânicos e eletrônicos, uma tampa automática e um painel de acrílico, o qual acomoda 100 lentes posicionadas na posição de uso, as quais são irradiadas pelo Sol desde o nascer até o seu pôr. A tampa é aberta automaticamente, o painel ejetado, através do sistema mecânico, de dentro da caixa e rotaciona no sentido do Sol, de forma que as lentes sejam sempre irradiadas pela frente. A cada intervalo de 15 minutos, o sistema calcula a posição do Sol a ajusta a direção do painel. Sensores de variáveis climáticas avisam o sistema para fechar a tampa e proteger os óculos de condições indesejáveis. Os resultados deste trabalho consistam na apresentação do protótipo finalizado e funcionando, análise das informação obtidas dos sensores e análise preliminar sobre a variação da transmitância UV e luminosa das lentes de óculos de sol após 150 horas de exposição. É concluído que o período de 150 h não é suficiente para provocar mudanças significativas na características das lentes, portanto o protótipo do painel automatizado será utilizado para exposição a longo prazo e os resultados de pesquisas futuras poderão contribuir para as normas e melhor proteção da saúde ocular da população. / The aim of this work is to develop a device capable of exposing the lenses of sunglasses automatically, so that simulates the use of the accessory for people, for a period equivalent to the time of use of the same model by the Brazilian population and through measurements performed on the lenses after prolonged sun exposure, check the behavior of the transmittance of the rays by the lens, mainly from UV rays, and thus determine if the lenses degrade over time. From the results, it is expected to complement the theoretical studies being developed by LIO researchers on the equivalence in solar simulators tests and actual exposure to the sun, helping to adapt the parameters of the national standard (NBR ISO 12312-1:2015) and international (ISO 12312-1:2013). The parameters used in the certification tests of the national standard are the same as used in international and those were created to represent the solar radiation conditions in Europe. Knowing the factors that influence UV radiation levels reaching the earth is evident that these levels are higher in the nearby regions of Brazil than in Europe. According to studies, a geographical optimization of the Brazilian standard should be considered, taking into account differences in UV indices of Brazil and Europe. Also, the parameters for the radiation resistance test in sunglasses used in Brazil, should be reviewed to ensure that the simulated conditions are sufficient to ensure UV protection for typical exposures of glasses in the sun. The methodology is the development of the prototype for automatic exposure sunglass lenses, and the development of the UV index measuring system. Finally, it is described the test conducted with a miniature panel to expose lens and the technique and equipment used for measuring luminous and UV transmittance of the lenses before and after exposure to the sun. This prototype consists of a box for protection mechanical and electronic systems, automatic cover and an acrylic panel, which accommodates 100 lenses positioned in the use position, which will be irradiated by the sun from sunrise to sunset. The lid will automatically open the panel is ejected through the mechanical system out of the box, and must rotate in the direction of the sun, so that the lens is always irradiated from the front. Every 15-minute interval, the system calculates the position of the sun to set the direction of the panel. Climatic variables sensors alert the system to close the cover and protect the glasses undesirable conditions. The results of this project are to report the finished prototype and running, analysis of the obtained information from the sensors and preliminary analysis of the variation of UV transmittance and light lens sun glasses after 150 hours of exposure. It is concluded that the period of 150 hours is not sufficient to cause significant changes in the characteristics of the lenses, so the automated panel prototype will be used for long-term exposure and the results of future research will contribute to the standards and better protection of eye health of population.
