Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of functional polymer materials, specifically to a preparation method of a traditional Chinese medicine-nanocellulose composite tensile fiber fabric, especially a bio-based composite fiber material with persistent antibacterial properties, excellent air permeability and quick drying, and enhanced mechanical properties. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's requirements for functional textiles, fiber fabrics with multiple functions integrated such as antibacterial, air permeable and quick drying, comfortable and durable are becoming increasingly popular in the market. Traditional antibacterial fabrics mainly use metal ions (such as silver and copper) or quaternary ammonium salt antibacterial agents. Although they have certain antibacterial effects, they have problems such as poor antibacterial persistence, low environmental friendliness, and easy induction of bacterial drug resistance. The air permeable and quick drying fabrics mainly achieve the moisture management function through special fiber structure design, but it is often difficult to be compatible with the antibacterial function. In addition, while improving comfort, functional fabrics often have insufficient mechanical properties and short service life, which limits their application in high-performance fields.
[0003] US Patent US7737056B2 discloses a breathable and quick-drying fabric, which includes an outer layer and an inner layer. The outer layer is made of hydrophilic synthetic fibers and has multiple pores, and the inner layer is made of hydrophobic synthetic fibers and is combined with the outer layer. When sweating exceeds the evaporation rate of the outer layer, the part of the inner layer exposed in the pores will move away from the human skin and protrude into the pores, thereby reducing the contact area between the inner layer and the skin. However, although this technology has a certain breathable and quick-drying effect, it lacks antibacterial function and relies on synthetic fibers, with insufficient environmental friendliness.
[0004] Russian Patent RU2524635C2 discloses a medical device using a traditional Chinese medicine preparation as an antibacterial coating. The antibacterial composition includes a material capable of forming a polymer film and an antibacterial preparation from traditional Chinese medicine. This technology applies the antibacterial activity of traditional Chinese medicine to the surface of medical devices, but does not organically combine it with the internal structure of fiber materials, making it difficult to achieve a persistent antibacterial effect and lacking air permeability and quick drying functions.
[0005] US Patent US20080241530A1 discloses an antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral polymer material, which consists of rayon fibers and a single antibacterial component. This technology mainly relies on copper oxide particles to provide antibacterial function, has potential environmental and health risks of metal ions, and cannot achieve an intelligent response antibacterial function.
[0006] In recent years, as a renewable bio-based material, nanocellulose has received extensive attention in the field of high-performance composite materials due to its excellent mechanical properties, high specific surface area, and good biocompatibility. At the same time, traditional Chinese medicine extracts, with their safe, broad-spectrum, and multi-target antibacterial characteristics, provide new ideas for solving the limitations of synthetic antibacterial agents. However, how to effectively combine nanocellulose with traditional Chinese medicine extracts to simultaneously achieve the synergistic enhancement of antibacterial, breathable and quick-drying, and mechanical properties remains a technical challenge to be solved urgently.

[0039] 4. The oxidation starch cross - linked interface synergistic technology effectively solves the interfacial compatibility problem between nano - cellulose and the PBAT matrix. Through multiple chemical bonds and physical entanglement, it significantly improves the interfacial bonding strength, realizes the synergistic enhancement of mechanical properties, and provides excellent tensile strength while maintaining good flexibility.

Ultrasonically treat the purified nanocellulose dispersion in an ice bath (20 kHz, 250 W) for 30 minutes with intermittent operation (on for 30 seconds, off for 10 seconds), and then adjust the pH to 5.0 (using 0.1 M acetate buffer). Transfer the treated nanocellulose dispersion to a 1 L double-jacketed glass reactor, and introduce nitrogen for 30 minutes to remove dissolved oxygen. Raise the reactor temperature to 70 °C, dissolve 20.0 g of GMA (20% of the weight of nanocellulose) in 50 mL of deionized water, and slowly add it dropwise to the reaction system within 40 minutes. Subsequently, add a solution of 0.8 g of APS dissolved in 20 mL of water, and then add a solution of 0.3 g of TEMED dissolved in 10 mL of water in two portions (the second portion is added after 30 minutes). After reacting for 3 hours, add 3.0 g of NIPAM (15% of the weight of GMA) solution and continue reacting for 1 hour. Finally, add 0.023 g of hydroquinone to terminate the reaction. Dilute the reaction system two-fold with deionized water, separate the product by centrifugation (4000 rpm, 15 minutes), wash it three times with deionized water and twice with ethanol, and redisperse it in deionized water to adjust the solid content to 2.0 wt%.

Filter, collect the filtrate, and concentrate it under reduced pressure to a relative density of 1.12. Add 95% ethanol for precipitation according to the ratio of extract:ethanol = 1:2, let it stand for 12 hours, filter, and dry it under reduced pressure at 50 °C to obtain the Coptis chinensis extract.
[0061] Extraction of Scutellaria baicalensis: Weigh 25 g of Scutellaria baicalensis medicinal materials, crush them through an 80-mesh sieve, add 250 mL of 70% ethanol, and perform ultrasonic-assisted extraction (300 W) at 60 °C for 2 hours. The subsequent treatment is the same as that for the extraction of Coptis chinensis to obtain the Scutellaria baicalensis extract.

Slowly add 10mL of glutaraldehyde solution (0.5% v / v) for cross-linking for 10 minutes, and then adjust the pH to 7.2 to stabilize the microcapsule structure. Centrifuge (3000rpm, 10 minutes), wash with water 3 times, freeze at -40℃ for 2 hours, and then freeze-dry for 48 hours to obtain microcapsule powder.

The composite suspension (1.2% w / v) was poured into a mold with a thickness of 8mm and placed on the temperature gradient device with the bottom contacting the freezing platform. The cooling rate was controlled to 2°C / min to form a directional ice crystal structure, and the -80°C environment was maintained for 6 hours to ensure complete freezing.

The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 1.
[0157] In order to evaluate the performance of the prepared traditional Chinese medicine - nano - cellulose composite tensile fiber fabric, a series of standard tests were carried out, mainly including mechanical properties, antibacterial properties, and moisture management properties, etc.
[0158] 1. Mechanical property test
[0159] According to the GB / T1040.3 - 2006 standard, a universal material testing machine (model: Instron5967) was used to measure the tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus of the samples. The test conditions were: temperature 23 ± 2 °C, relative humidity 50 ± 5%, tensile rate 20 mm / min, and the specimen size was 150 mm × 10 mm × 0.5 mm. Each sample was tested 5 times and the average value was taken.
[0160] 2. Antibacterial property test
[0161] Adopting the standard method of GB / T20944.3 - 2008, Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC6538) and Escherichia coli (ATCC8099) were selected as test strains to evaluate the antibacterial activity of the samples. The samples were cut into 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm specifications, sterilized by ultraviolet for 30 minutes, then contacted with the bacterial suspension (1 × 10 CFU / mL), and samples were taken at 0, 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours respectively, and the dilution plate counting was carried out to calculate the antibacterial rate. At the same time, the samples were washed repeatedly according to the standard (GB / T8629 - 2017), and the antibacterial persistence after 10 washes was tested.
[0162] 3. Moisture management property test
[0163] (1) Water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) test: According to the ASTM E96 - 00 standard, the cup method was used to measure the water vapor transmission rate of the samples, and the test conditions were 23 °C / 50% RH.

[0175] Through the analysis of the above test results, the following conclusions can be drawn:
[0176] 1. Mechanical properties: Examples 1-6 all showed excellent mechanical properties. The tensile strength was increased by 50-75% compared with pure PBAT, and at the same time, good flexibility was maintained (elongation at break > 270%). In Comparative Example 1, no nanocellulose functionalization treatment was carried out, and its tensile strength was significantly lower than that of the examples, indicating that the gradient functionalization of nanocellulose plays a key role in enhancing the interfacial bonding force and improving the mechanical properties of the composite material.
[0177] 2. Antibacterial performance: Examples 1-6 all showed excellent antibacterial effects. The 24-hour antibacterial rates against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli were both above 99%, and the antibacterial activity remained above 85% after 10 standard washes. In Comparative Example 2, no Chinese medicine microcapsules were added, and it had almost no antibacterial ability, proving that the compound extract of the three Huang herbs in Chinese medicine is the core source of the antibacterial function of the material. Although Comparative Examples 1 and 3 had certain antibacterial properties, the antibacterial retention rate after washing was significantly lower than that of the examples, indicating that the functionalization of nanocellulose and the hierarchical pore structure play an important role in antibacterial persistence.
[0178] 3. Moisture management performance: The water vapor transmission rates of Examples 1-6 were all above 8700 g / m 2 ·24h, the vertical moisture absorption height exceeded 14 cm, and the drying time was less than 21 minutes, showing excellent air permeability and quick-drying characteristics. In Comparative Example 3, the directional freezing technology was not used, and the water vapor transmission rate and moisture absorption height were significantly lower than those of the examples, and the drying time was almost doubled, proving that the hierarchical directional pore structure plays a decisive role in the air permeability and quick-drying performance of the material.
[0179] Example 3 showed the best comprehensive performance. Its tensile strength reached 41.2 MPa, the antibacterial persistence was the best (the retention rate after 10 washes was 92.1%), and the moisture management performance was also the most excellent (the water vapor transmission rate was 10200 g / m 2 ·24h, and the drying time was only 15 minutes). This may be related to its higher GMA grafting amount, lower concentration of the wall material of the Sanhuang microcapsules, and higher temperature gradient. These factors work together to form the best structural and functional synergistic effect.
[0180] The excellent performance of the Chinese medicine-nanocellulose composite tensile fiber fabric of the present invention stems from multiple synergistic action mechanisms:
[0181] 1. Synergistic enhancement mechanism of gradient-functionalized nanocellulose: The surface gradient functionalization of nanocellulose is achieved by controlling the grafting process of GMA and NIPAM. In the initial stage of the reaction, the initiator concentration is high, and GMA preferentially reacts with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of nanocellulose to form a highly functionalized outer layer region. As the reaction proceeds, the initiator concentration gradually decreases, and the degree of functionalization inside the fiber weakens accordingly, forming a gradient structure with a gradually decreasing degree of functionalization from the outside to the inside. This gradient structure retains the natural crystalline regions inside the fiber, maintains the mechanical strength of the material, and at the same time forms a highly active functional layer on the surface, providing conditions for the subsequent combination with the PBAT matrix.
[0182] The epoxy groups grafted with GMA can react with the terminal carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in PBAT to form covalent bond connections. FTIR analysis shows that the characteristic ester group peak at 1730 cm-1 and the weakening of the characteristic epoxy group peak at 910 - 920 cm-1 appear in the products of Examples 1 - 6, confirming the formation of chemical bonds between GMA and PBAT. At the same time, the grafted methacrylic acid chain segments are physically entangled with the PBAT molecular chains, increasing the interfacial entanglement points. As an interfacial compatibilizer, the carboxyl groups of oxidized starch form hydrogen bond networks with the hydroxyl groups of nanocellulose and the ester groups of PBAT, further enhancing the interfacial bonding. XPS analysis shows that in the interfacial region of Example 1, the content of C - O bonds increases by 25% compared with the raw materials, confirming the formation of a rich hydrogen bond and covalent bond network at the interface.
[0183] This multiple action mechanism significantly improves the interfacial tensile strength between the nanofibers and the matrix, makes the stress distribution more uniform, reduces stress concentration, and thus improves the overall tensile properties of the material. In Comparative Example 1, no functionalization treatment of nanocellulose was carried out, and its interfacial shear strength was only 1.8 MPa, while the interfacial shear strengths of Examples 1 - 6 were all above 3.5 MPa, nearly doubling.
[0184] 2. Multilevel structure moisture management synergistic mechanism: Through the directional freezing - lyophilization process, a hierarchical moisture transport channel network is formed. SEM observation shows that there is a three - level moisture transport channel structure in the products of Examples 1 - 6:
[0185] Nanoscale channels (2 - 5 nm): Capillary channels formed between nanocellulose molecules, providing a strong initial moisture absorption capacity
[0186] Micron - scale channels (5 - 20 μm): Oriented micropores formed by the growth of oriented ice crystals, providing a rapid moisture transport path
[0187] Macroscopic channels (50 - 200 μm): A network of ventilation pores formed in the whole material, promoting the evaporation and diffusion of moisture
[0188] This multilevel structure forms an efficient "unidirectional pump effect". The surface hydrophobic layer prevents external moisture from infiltrating, while the internal hydrophilic region absorbs sweat through capillary action. Due to the existence of the gradient structure, a concentration and surface energy gradient of moisture is formed in the material, generating a unidirectional and oriented transport effect, prompting moisture to always migrate from the skin side to the external environment, and still maintaining a dry feeling even in a high - humidity environment. Thermal infrared imaging observation shows that within 15 minutes after being wetted, the surface temperature of Example 3 drops by 3.5 °C, while that of Comparative Example 3 only drops by 1.2 °C, confirming that the multilevel pore structure significantly enhances the moisture evaporation and cooling effect.
[0189] In Comparative Example 3, the directional freezing technology was not adopted, and a randomly distributed porous structure was formed, lacking directionality, resulting in a significant reduction in the water transport efficiency. The dynamic water transport test showed that the one-way water transport index (OWTI) of Examples 1-6 was above 300, while that of Comparative Example 3 was only 120, indicating that the hierarchical pore structure formed by directional freezing is the key to achieving efficient one-way water transport.
[0190] 3. Synergistic antibacterial mechanism of the controlled release of traditional Chinese medicine extracts: The microcapsule system designed a dual response mechanism of pH and temperature. Chitosan swells in an acidic environment (pH < 6.5), and sodium alginate swells in an alkaline environment. This complementary property enables the microcapsules to increase permeability due to the swelling of the wall material when contacting sweat (pH 4.5 - 6.5). At the same time, the NIPAM grafted chains undergo a phase transition and shrink when the temperature is higher than 32 - 34 °C, further promoting the release of the contents. The fluorescence tracer experiment showed that the drug release rate of Example 1 reached 58% under the conditions of pH 5.5 and 35 °C for 24 hours, while it was only 12% under the conditions of pH 7.4 and 25 °C, confirming the effectiveness of the dual response mechanism.
[0191] The Sanhuang composite extract has a synergistic antibacterial effect through multiple mechanisms: Coptis chinensis (berberine) destroys the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane; Scutellaria baicalensis (baicalin) inhibits the activity of DNA gyrase; Phellodendron amurense (obacunone) inhibits cell wall synthesis. This multi-target synergistic effect not only improves the antibacterial efficiency but also reduces the risk of the development of bacterial drug resistance. The antibacterial mechanism study found that the Staphylococcus aureus cells treated with Example 1 shrank and ruptured, the ATP content decreased by 85%, and DNA synthesis was significantly inhibited.
[0192] The antibacterial experiment comparing single traditional Chinese medicine extracts showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of using only the Coptis chinensis extract was 128 μg / mL, while the MIC of the Sanhuang composite extract was only 50 μg / mL, a reduction of more than 60%, confirming the multi-component synergistic antibacterial effect. In Comparative Example 2, no traditional Chinese medicine components were added, and it had almost no antibacterial ability. In Comparative Example 1, although it contained traditional Chinese medicine components but was not functionally treated, its antibacterial persistence was significantly reduced, indicating that the functionalization of nanocellulose plays an important role in controlling the release of traditional Chinese medicine components.
[0193] In summary, the traditional Chinese medicine-nanocellulose composite tensile fiber fabric of the present invention realizes the synergistic enhancement of antibacterial, breathable and quick-drying, and mechanical properties through the organic combination of three innovative points: nanocellulose gradient functionalization, traditional Chinese medicine microcapsule controlled release technology, and hierarchical pore structure design, overcomes multiple technical bottlenecks of traditional antibacterial fabrics, and has significant technological innovation and application value. This material is expected to be widely used in the fields of sportswear, medical protective clothing, outdoor equipment, skin-friendly underwear, and functional home textile products.
