Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0002]    The present invention relates to an artificial nail composition having improved curability. 
         [0003]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0004]    Nail art means makeup or decoration of nails of the hands and feet. A shop for nail art is called a nail salon and a nail art technician is called a nail technician. Various nail art goods are commercially available and there are many women who perform nail art with skill equivalent to a professional. 
         [0005]    In the 19th century, a lacquer coating material for automobiles was invented in the United States and a currently used manicure was developed by applying this technique. 
         [0006]    A manicure utilizing the lacquer coating material is now widely spread, but has a problem that it has poor adhesion to a natural nail and may be peeled or removed within a short period after coating. Therefore, an artificial nail material utilizing a dental resin which is polymerizable at a normal temperature has been developed. 
         [0007]    An artificial nail material utilizing a dental resin which is polymerizable at a normal temperature has excellent strength and durability when compared with a manicure utilizing a lacquer coating material and is therefore accepted by some professional nail technicians. However, due to irritation caused by an acryl monomer, irritating odor and poor operability, such an artificial nail material has not been sufficiently spread among general nail technicians. 
         [0008]    Recently, a gel nail obtained by improving odor irritation and operability of an artificial nail utilizing a dental resin which is polymerizable at a normal temperature is popular in the market. A gel nail, which is now commercially available, is a high-viscosity liquid material containing a (meth)acryl-based monomer and a photopolymerization initiator as main components and is cured by irradiation with ultraviolet rays. These commercially available gel nails cause less odor irritation or skin irritation and also have more excellent operability when compared with the above-described artificial nail material utilizing a dental resin which is polymerizable at a normal temperature. As a result, they are accepted by the majority of general nail technicians. However, commercially available gel nails are ultraviolet curable systems and there is a fear of an adverse influence of ultraviolet rays on the human body. Furthermore, yellowing of a cured body occurs and thus it is impossible to meet aesthetic demands of consumers. 
         [0009]    International Publication No. WO 00/076366 discloses a method of coating a photocurable resin composition to form an uncured layer on a nail and curing the layer by irradiating with visible rays. Although improvement with respect to use of ultraviolet rays harmful to the human body is recognized, improvement with respect to curability, yellowing, internal curing, etc. of the composition are not recognized. 
         [0010]    JP-A No. 11-21212 discloses an artificial nail composition comprising a monomer containing a vinyl monomer and a polymerization initiator, in which a polymerization initiator which is decomposed by absorbing visible rays is used as the polymerization initiator. Although improvement with respect to use of ultraviolet rays harmful to the human body is recognized, improvement with respect to curability, yellowing, internal curing, etc. of the composition are not recognized. 
       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0011]    An object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nail composition having improved curability. Another object of the present invention is to provide an artificial nail composition which causes less yellowing and has excellent internal curability. 
         [0012]    The present invention provides: 
         [0013]    (1) An artificial nail composition comprising: 
         [0014]    a component (a): a compound having at least one radical polymerizable unsaturated double bond in the molecule, and 
         [0015]    a component (b): a photopolymerization initiator selected from (i) an acylphosphine oxide-type photopolymerization initiator and (ii) a mixture of an acylphosphine oxide-type photopolymerization initiator and an α-hydroxyalkylphenone-type photopolymerization initiator, wherein the amount of the component (b) is 0.05 to 4.00 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the component (a). 
         [0016]    The present invention also provides: 
         [0017]    (2) The artificial nail composition according to (1), wherein the component (b) the acylphosphine oxide type photopolymerization initiator is monoacylphosphine oxide and/or bisacylphosphine oxide and the α-hydroxyalkylphenone-type polymerization initiator is 1-hydroxy-cyclohexyl-phenyl-ketone or 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-propan-1-one. 
         [0018]    The present invention provides: 
         [0019]    (3) The artificial nail composition according to (1) or (2), wherein a visible or ultraviolet light source is used as a photopolymerization light source upon curing. 
         [0020]    The artificial nail composition of the present invention enables photopolymerization with visible rays which are harmless to the human body, in addition to conventional ultraviolet rays. Furthermore, since a cured body causes less yellowing, it becomes possible to meet aesthetic demands of consumers. Since it is effective for internal curing of a composition containing a pigment, the artificial nail composition of the present invention can easily impart special beautiful external appearance and a function required as an artificial nail to fingertips. Furthermore, excellent surface gloss can be obtained by good surface curability.

       Preparation of Artificial Nail Composition 
       [0052]    Raw materials were weighed in accordance with the formulations shown in Table 1 and Table 2, mixed under atmospheric pressure at 60° C. for 3 hours and then mixed under atmospheric pressure at 23±2° C. for 12 hours to obtain high-viscosity transparent liquids. The resultant high-viscosity transparent liquids were degassed under 40 to 45 Torr. 
       Evaluation 1 of Curability 
       [0053]    As evaluation of curability, a photopolymerization exotherm temperature of the composition was measured. A cylindrical plastic container having a diameter of 6 mm was filled with 1 ml of the artificial nail composition shown in Table 1. A piercing thermocouple (manufactured by ANRITSU-METER) was inserted into the cylindrical plastic container from the upper portion and the exotherm temperature was measured at intervals of one second. As an example of ultraviolet curing, the cylindrical plastic container filled with the artificial nail composition was fixed at the center in an ultraviolet photopolymerization apparatus using an AKZENTZUV lamp. As an example of visible light curing, the cylindrical plastic container filled with the artificial nail composition was irradiated with light from the side using LED direct bar illumination. In both cases, the time at a peak of an exotherm temperature curve due to photopolymerization was recorded as a curing time, letting a light irradiation time to be zero second. At the same time, the temperature at a peak of an exotherm temperature curve due to photopolymerization was recorded as a curing temperature. For comparison with commercially available gel nails, the curing time and the curing temperature of AKZENTZ (color tone: OPTIONS CLEAR) and CALJRL (color tone: 0) were measured in the same manner. The measured curing time and curing temperature are shown in Table 1. Both AKZENTZ and CALJRL are products manufactured by TAKIGAWA CO., LTD. and AKZENTZ contains a urethane methacrylate oligomer, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, hydroxycyclohexyl phenyl ketone, benzophenone, butyl perbenzoate, and paraffin, while CALJRL contains a polyethylene methacrylate copolymer, hydroxyalkyl methacrylate, butyl perbenzoate and a photopolymerization initiator. 
       Evaluation of Yellowness 
       [0054]    Yellowness was evaluated in accordance with JIS K 7373: 2006 (Plastic—Method for Determination of Yellowness and Degree of Yellowness). A ring-type stainless steel mold having a diameter (inner diameter) of 15 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was filled with an artificial nail composition. The shape was modified and the surface to be irradiated with light was shielded from air by contacting under pressure using slide glasses from upper and lower directions. Using an ultraviolet polymerization apparatus (AKZENTZ UV LAMP), photopolymerization was performed for 3 minutes to prepare a disk-shaped cured body of the artificial nail composition. This resultant disk-shaped cured body was used as a disk-shaped specimen for measurement of yellowness, and a degree of yellowness was measured using Spectrophotometer: CM-2002 (manufactured by Konica Minolta Holdings, Inc.) For comparison with commercially available gel nails, a degree of yellowness of AKZENTZ (color tone: OPTIONS CLEAR) and CALJRL (color tone: 0) was measured in the same manner.

       Evaluation 2 of Curability 
       [0063]    Internal curability in the composition containing a colorant was evaluated. A ring-type stainless steel mold having a diameter of 15 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was filled with an artificial nail composition prepared according to the formulation shown in Table 2. The shape was modified and the surface to be irradiated with light was shielded from air by contacting under pressure using slide glasses from upper and lower directions.
