The application belongs to the field of
high polymer materials, and provides a water-permeable and air-permeable
sponge and a preparation method thereof. The application adopts a synergistic design of a crosslinked
polydimethylsiloxane continuous phase and a directional through-hole network, forms a through-hole network with an
open hole rate of 85-92% and an orientation index not less than 0.60 through directional soluble particle template
dissolution, and introduces
cellulose nanocrystals with a
mass fraction of 0.50-2.00% modified by
silane coupling to enhance the network, and covalently fixes 0.10-1.00 wt% of hydrophilic functional
silane to realize surface hydrophilic modification, realizes air permeability not less than 400 L·m⁻²·s⁻¹, a pore size gradient of 150-250 μm on the near-
skin side to 400-600 μm on the far-
skin side, and double-medium high-flux water-permeable and air-permeable performance, solves the
coupling contradiction problem between high
open hole rate and mechanical bearing rebound attenuation, directional through-hole network cycle stability, and double-medium high-flux and low VOC, and has wide application value in the fields of
nursing and sports underwear, masks, briefs, eye masks, shoes and mattresses.
