This invention belongs to the field of functional
textile materials and provides a cooling and antibacterial
polyester fabric and its preparation method. The invention employs a melt-blended
spinning design of a thermally conductive antibacterial core-shell
masterbatch and a
polyester matrix. The
masterbatch uses a
zinc oxide submicron rod-shaped inorganic core as its core, coated with a
silane coupling layer and a quaternized
copolyester shell. During
fiber drafting, the one-dimensional
zinc oxide rods are aligned axially, significantly improving the longitudinal
thermal conductivity of the
fiber and enhancing the instantaneous cooling
sensation upon contact. Simultaneously, the quaternized
copolyester shell exhibits good compatibility with the
polyester matrix, constructing a dense, wash-resistant, and antibacterial network. This achieves synergistic optimization of high-strength, fine-denier spinnability with high-filler
thermal conductivity, durable antibacterial properties after 50
machine washes with a soft and comfortable feel, and high functionalization efficiency with low migration safety. It resolves the technical contradictions in existing polyester fabrics regarding
thermal conductivity and cooling
sensation versus antibacterial durability, functionality versus safety, and processability versus comfort, and has broad application value in areas such as intimate apparel and
bedding.
