Slow positron annihilation spectroscopy, contact angle and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to investigate the surface polarity and morphologies as functions of aging time in acrylic coatings during UV-a irradiation. The S parameter plots of each exposed sample are lower than that of the virgin sample in the whole range of E. The S parameter plots become lower as the exposing longer time, indicated that the irradiation generated more polar groups and increased the oxidation layer depth. Combined with surface morphology and the surface energy of acrylic coating, the variation of contact angle, and surface energy, polar component and dispersive component is related with surface polarity and morphologies.

Abstract ZnO-poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate) and ZnO-poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate)-b-poly[(poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] have been prepared by atom transfer polymerization initiated through a 2-bromoisobutyryl or bromoethyl group linked onto the ZnO nanoparticle surface (ZnO-BIBB, ZnO-BEI). The structure and morphology of the hybrids were characterized using Fourier transform infrared, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence and UV spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron (TEM) and atomic force microscopy. The existence of nanoparticles with diameters varying between 40 and 100 nm was evident in the TEM images of the pure ZnO, ZnO-PCEMA-Br-2 and the diblock copolymer. Under an excitation of 340 nm, these materials exhibit a broad emission band at around 390 nm, which was associated with the presence of ZnO in the organic matrix. Graphical abstract [...]

Free radicals in synthetic melanin and melanin from Sepia officinalis were studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The effect of time of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation on free radicals in these melanins was tested. The samples were exposed to UV during 15, 30, and 60 minutes. EPR spectra were measured with microwaves from an X-band (9.3 GHz) in the range of microwave power of 2.2–70 mW. The performed EPR examinations indicate that high concentrations (~1021–1022 spin/g) of o-semiquinone free radicals with g factors of 2.0039–2.0045 exist in all the tested samples. For nonirradiated samples, free radical concentration was higher in natural melanin than in synthetic melanin. UV irradiation caused the increase of free radical concentrations in synthetic melanin samples and this effect depends on the time of irradiation. The largest free radical formation in the both melanins was obtained for 60 min of UV irradiation. Free radical concentrations after the UV irradiation of melanins during 30 min were lower than during irradiation by 15 min, and probably this effect was the result of recombination of the radiatively formed free radicals. EPR lines of the tested samples broadened with increasing microwave power, so these lines were homogeneously broadened. The two types of melanins differed in the time of spin-lattice relaxation processes. Slower spin-lattice relaxation processes exist in melanin from Sepia officinalis than in synthetic melanin. UV irradiation did not change the time of spin-lattice relaxation processes in the tested melanins. The performed studies confirmed the usefulness of EPR spectroscopy in cosmetology and medicine.

Photodegradation of quetiapine under UVC irradiation in methanol solution was investigated and structural elucidation of its photodegradation products was performed with the use of the reversed phase UHPLC system coupled with accurate mass hybrid ESI-Q-TOF mass spectrometer. During one run all essential data for the determination of photodegradation kinetics and for the structural elucidation of the products was collected with the use of auto MS/MS mode. Five degradation products were found and their masses and formulas were obtained with high accuracy (0.26–5.02 ppm). For all the analyzed compounds, MS/MS fragmentation spectra were also obtained allowing structural elucidation of the unknown degradation products and indicating photodegradation pathways of quetiapine. The main photodegradation product was identified as 2-[2-[4-(5-oxidodibenzo[b,f][1,4]thiazepin-11-yl)-1-piperazinyl]ethoxy]-ethanol and the photodegradation reaction yields the first-order kinetics with the rate constant k = 0.1094 h−1.

Free radicals in UV irradiated antibiotics used in dermatology were examined. Concentrations of free radicals in fusidic acid and neomycin, were determined. EPR spectra of the tested antibiotics were measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometer with magnetic modulation of 100 kHz and numerical acquisition system the Rapid Scan Unit. The influence of microwave powers in the range of 2.2-70 mW on the spectra was obtained. Amplitudes (A) and linewidths (ΔBpp) of the EPR spectra, were analysed. The EPR spectra were homogeneously broadened. Fast spin-lattice relaxation processes existed in UV irradiated fusidic acid and neomycin, which EPR spectra were not saturated up to 70 mW. The influence of the time of UV irradiation on free radicals in the samples was observed. The samples were irradiated by UVA (315-400 nm) in the 30, 60, and 90 minute period. Free radical concentrations in the tested antibiotics exposed to UV were proportional to the amplitudes (A) of the EPR spectra. The highest amplitudes (A) were observed for the UV irradiated antibiotics during 60 minutes. The higher amplitudes (A) characterized fusidic acid than neomycin. Fusidic acid and neomycin used to treat bacterial infection of skin under UV irradiation may produce free radical toxic effects. The stronger photosensitivity characterized fusidic acid relatively to neomycin. EPR spectroscopy is the useful method to examine free radicals formed in antibiotics during photolysis.
