[0061]Example 2

[0062]Adjust the 90wt% red cholesteric liquid crystal in the injection 3 of Example 1 to 80wt% blue cholesteric liquid crystal (U10-006G-480, Shijiazhuang Chengzhi Yonghua Company), and the metal nanowires in the injection 1 Copper nanowires are used, wherein the mass fraction of the copper nanowires is 0.3 wt%; otherwise, the electrochromic liquid crystal microfibers are prepared according to the same preparation steps as in Example 1.

[0063]The electrochromic liquid crystal fiber prepared above was subjected to photoelectric performance test (see Table 1) and water and solvent resistance test (see Table 2). It can be seen from the test results that the electrochromic liquid crystal fiber obtained in Comparative Example 1, as the concentration of cholesteric liquid crystal decreases, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer also becomes thinner, and the required electrochromic driving voltage also increases. .

[0064]Example 3

[0065]Adjust the 90wt% of the red cholesteric liquid crystal in the injection 3 of Example 1 to 70wt% of the yellow cholesteric liquid crystal (U10-006G-580, Shijiazhuang Chengzhi Yonghua Company), and the others were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1. Steps to prepare electrochromic liquid crystal microfibers.

[0066]The electro-chromic liquid crystal fiber prepared above was tested for photoelectric performance (see Table 1) and water and solvent resistance (see Table 2). It can be seen from the test results that the electrochromic liquid crystal fiber obtained in Comparative Example 1, as the concentration of the cholesteric liquid crystal continues to decrease, the thickness of the liquid crystal layer continues to decrease, and the required electrochromic driving voltage also continues to increase.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for preparing electrochromic fibers without additional electrodes by a coaxial microfluid spinning method, and belongs to the technical field of fine chemical engineering and material science. The electrochromic liquid crystal fiber taking a black conductive polymer as an inner conductive layer, a transparent metal nanowire layer as an outer conductive layer and polymer dispersed cholesteric liquid crystal as an electrochromic layer is prepared by adopting the coaxial microflow spinning method, wherein the mass ratio of the metal nanowire layer to the black conductive layer to the cholesteric liquid crystal layer is (5-30): 100: (5-30). The electrochromic liquid crystal fiber prepared by the method disclosed by the invention can change color reversibly under the stimulation of an electric field, can realize a continuous stable state of a certain color changing state under the condition of power failure, not only is bright and variable in colors and lowin driving voltage which is lower than 23.9 V (lower than 36V of safe voltage of a human body), but also has high solvent resistance and water resistance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing electrochromic fibers without external electrodes by coaxial microfluid spinning, and belongs to the technical fields of fine chemical industry and material science. Background technique [0002] The ever-increasing demand for technology and individualization has become a new challenge and new trend for the development of the textile and garment industry. Smart textiles refer to a new class of textiles that are based on the basic materials and technical characteristics of textiles, simulate life systems, and have dual functions of perception and reflection. It not only has the performance of general fabrics, but also can intelligently sense changes in external conditions, and then process information through its own perception, issue instructions and execute actions. Among them, electrochromic materials can change the optical properties of textiles (reflectivity, transmittance, absorption rate, etc.) und...
