Problems solved by technology

[0018] Polymeric phase change materials have also been used to spin fibers, but although such phase change materials have higher viscosities than low molecular weight hydrocarbon waxes and thus may not require mixing with viscosity modifiers, they are not very effective because their The latent heat value is quite low

[0123] Preparation of polymer-wax mixture

[0124] The polymer particles / powder and wax are melted together in a heated oven with slow stirring. The oven was heated to about 180°C. During heating, the polymer particles gradually melt and the wax begins to enter the particles which gradually swell in size. After a period of time (5-30 minutes, depending on polymer type, polymer particle size and batch size), the swollen polymer particles coalesce into a viscous melt. The polymer-wax mixture was then cooled to room temperature. To further ensure a homogeneous mixture of wax and polymer, the solid mixture was placed in a heated Brabender kneader (180° C.) and melt homogenized at 50 rpm for 5 minutes. After melt homogenization in a Brabender kneader, the material was left to cool and then the solid material was ground into particles of approximately 2-4 mm in size. The first material can be produced and then stored prior to producing the multicomponent fibers. Therefore, all ...

[0149] Various amounts of viscosity modifier in the form of polyethylene material (high density polyethylene) and RT 27 (hydrocarbon wax manufactured and supplied by Rubitherm GmbH, Germany, see Table 2) were mixed. The melt flow rate of the polyethylene material is determined by the method disclosed under "Melt Flow Rate". The mixing of viscosity modifier and polyethylene was then carried out according to the method disclosed under "Preparation of Polymer-Wax Mixture". The viscosity of the different mixtures was then investigated according to the method of "Rheological Evaluation". An angular frequency of 10rad / s was chosen for comparison to roughly correspond to Figure 6 Wall shear rates in a cylindrical pipe with a diameter of 2.5 mm are shown.

[0150] The results are shown in the graph of Table 8, which shows the magnitude of the complex viscosity at 190°C and 10 rad / s versus the weight percent of RT 27. It can be seen that the lower the melt flow rate of polyethylene...

[0155] Table 3 discloses the PCM efficiency of PCM-containing polymers with respect to their latent heat (heat of fusion / crystallization). The PCM-containing polymer should correspond to the first material in the multicomponent fiber. Hydrocarbon wax RT 31 mixed with different polyolefins and prepared according to the method disclosed under "Preparation of polymer-wax mixtures", the heat of fusion in the range 0-50 °C is measured by means of DSC according to the DSC analysis disclosed above .

Abstract

A multi-component fibre includes at least two elongated fibre bodies. A first fibre body consists of a first material including a phase change material and a second fibre body consists of a second material and encloses the first fibre body. The phase change material is non-encapsulated or in raw form and the first material includes a viscosity modifier selected from polyolefines having a density in the range of 890-970 kg / m3 as measured at room temperature according to ISO 1183-2 and a melt flow rate in the range 0.1-60 g / 10 minutes as measured at 190° C. with a 21.6 kg weight according to ISO 1133. Further, a textile, a fabric and an absorbent article include the multi-component fibre.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to multicomponent fibers comprising phase change materials, textiles and fabrics (eg, woven, woven and nonwoven fabrics) comprising said multicomponent fibers and absorbent articles comprising said multicomponent fibers. Background technique [0002] The goal of the human thermoregulatory system is to maintain a constant internal and skin temperature within a range that varies between different body parts. A comfortable skin temperature is in the range of 28-33°C. Outside of this temperature range, the body feels unwell. [0003] The body controls the rate of heat exchange with the environment through regulation of skin blood flow. Sweating (evaporative heat loss) or shivering (heat production) occurs when there are large deviations in body temperature. [0004] The human thermal regulation system is quite limited in its capacity and efficiency. Putting on and taking off clothing helps the body keep the body within com...
