Problems solved by technology

[0002] my country is a big country of fiber production. The output of synthetic fiber has ranked first in the world for 15 consecutive years. The total value of fiber and its textiles accounts for about 10% of my country's GDP, and exports account for 1 / 4, which is very important in the national economy. At present, the development of synthetic fibers in my country has the following problems: First, the development of synthetic fibers is restricted by the shortage of resources, and more than 90% of the raw materials of synthetic fibers depend on oil, and the total amount of proven oil and the consumption rate are calculated , 50 years later, fiber and its related industries will be in a state of "cooking without rice"; secondly, the development of synthetic fibers is restricted by environmental pollution, and petroleum-based chemical fibers cannot be degraded in nature, which will bring very serious "white pollution". Seriously affect people's quality of life
However, the research and development work on the functionalization of PLA fibers is less, and the conductive functionalization of fibers is the focus of development and research in the industry and academia. Therefore, it is necessary to realize the conductive functionalization of PLA fibers, and currently only Petra at the Institute of Polymer Research in Dresden, Germany 【 P.; Kobashi, K.; Villmow, T.; Andres, T.; Paiva, M.C.; Covas, J.A. Liquid sensing properties of melt processed polypropylene / poly(e-caprolactone blends containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes. 71, 1451-1460.] PCL / PLA / MWNTs conductive fibers were prepared by melt spinning, but the mechanical properties of the obtained conductive fibers were poor, and the breaking strength and elongation at break of the obtained as-spun fibers were only 22MPa and 6.2% respectively , has no practical application value in the textile field
