Measurement of TiO2 Nanoscale Ingredients in Sunscreens by Multidetector AF4, TEM, and spICP-MS Supported by Computational Modeling

Abstract: There is a growing need to disclose the presence of nanostructures on the labeling of commercial products in South Africa. This work deals with complementary analytical techniques for the separation, quantification, and characterization of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) capped with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) for applications in cosmetic sunscreens. Asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) coupled online to multiangle light-scattering (MALS) and dynamic light-scattering (DLS) detectors has … Show more

“…Adsorption Locator (AL) functionality (MS software) was used for each generated configuration, thereby showing the best adsorption sites. Analogues of the electrochemical layer-by-layer strategy were modeled by carrying out Monte Carlo simulations of the substrate–adsorbate conformational space since the temperature slowly decreased in accordance with a simulated annealing strategy of the adsorption process. , …”

“…Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO 2 NPs) are the most prevalent nanomaterials with an annual global production of 10,000 tons, which is expected to grow exponentially until at least 2025. , These nanomaterials are widely utilized in fields including construction, cosmetics, environmental treatment, food, paints, pharmaceuticals, and photocatalytic media . Among these applications, TiO 2 NPs are primarily (70–80%) used in personal care products such as sunscreen and cosmetics due to their efficient ultraviolet (UV)-light absorbency and adequate skin tolerance. , Therefore, human skin is likely exposed extensively to TiO 2 NPs via direct application of skin care products such as sunscreen containing 2.5–25 wt % TiO 2 NPs, , which have increasingly replaced microsized TiO 2 to overcome its cosmetic drawback . Meanwhile, unintentional dermal exposure to TiO 2 NPs released from textiles and pigments is also inevitable, , which could reach 11.6 μg/kg body weight mainly in the form of particulate TiO 2 …”
