Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of polylactic acid fibers, in particular to a preparation process of an antistatic polylactic acid ultrafine fiber fabric. Background Art

[0002] Polylactic acid microfiber fabric is a new type of fabric based on sustainable biomass raw materials, with biodegradability and excellent physical properties. With people's increasing attention to environmental protection and health, its application prospects will be broader; due to the extremely small fiber diameter of polylactic acid microfiber fabric, it has an extremely high specific surface area and excellent softness, breathability, moisture absorption and other properties, which makes it have broad application prospects in clothing, bedding, sanitary products and other fields; however, in relatively dry seasons with a lack of air circulation, polylactic acid fiber fabrics are prone to static electricity, which will affect the comfort of wearing and cause the fabric to easily absorb dust or hair. In addition, static electricity may also cause spark discharge, causing fire and other dangers. Therefore, improving the anti-static and flame retardant properties of polylactic acid fiber fabrics has become a hot topic of current research.

[0003] In the prior art, in order to avoid static electricity problems on fiber fabrics, some antistatic detergents or antistatic sprays are generally used. Most of them are outer coatings with poor heat resistance and durability, which are harmful to the skin. In addition, they suffer large losses and fail quickly under application conditions such as friction and washing, and are not suitable for use on polylactic acid fiber fabrics. Patent No. CN115058789B discloses a method for preparing flexible antistatic polylactic acid fibers, in which an antistatic agent is added to polylactic acid in a prepolymerization stage with low molecular weight and low viscosity, thereby giving the polylactic acid fibers better antistatic properties. Compared with the process of adding antistatic agents to polylactic acid slices, the method greatly reduces energy consumption and reduces production costs. However, the added antistatic agent still has poor compatibility with the polylactic acid matrix, and the added antistatic agent is a small molecule antistatic agent, which is easy to migrate and precipitate, and the antistatic durability needs to be further enhanced.

[0004] Carbon nanotubes have a hollow tubular structure, a large specific surface area, strong adsorption capacity and excellent electrical conductivity, but they have poor interfacial bonding with the polylactic acid matrix and are unevenly dispersed, which often leads to a decline in mechanical properties and processing performance. At the same time, polylactic acid itself has poor toughness, low impact resistance and poor filling fluidity, which limits its application in fiber fabrics. The present invention aims to modify the surface of carbon nanotubes by synthesizing a star-shaped polylactic acid with flame retardant properties, improve the easy agglomeration of carbon nanotubes in the polylactic acid matrix, make them uniformly dispersed in the polymer matrix and form a strong interfacial bond, give full play to the toughening and strengthening effects, avoid migration and precipitation, and have anti-static durability and good flame retardant properties. Summary of the Invention

[0008] Preferably, in step (1), the ratio of six-arm star-shaped phosphorus nitrogen-based polylactic acid, acyl chloride carbon nanotubes, and pyridine is 100 g: (25-40) g: (18-25) g.

[0009] Preferably, in step (2), the ratio of the polylactic acid dry chips to the star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes is 100 g:(2-10) g.

[0010] Preferably, in step (2), the temperature of each zone of the spinning machine is 180-200°C, the spinning speed is 750-1000 m / min, and the stretching temperature is 80-90°C.

[0011] Preferably, the preparation process of the six-arm star-shaped phosphorus-nitrogen-based polylactic acid in step (1) is carried out according to the following steps: Step S1: under a nitrogen atmosphere, tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride and ethanol were added to a reaction flask, stirred evenly, and then 2-amino-4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazine was added and stirred for reaction. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was allowed to stand for precipitation, filtered, washed with ethanol, and dried to obtain a tetrakis(triazinebismethoxy)phosphonium intermediate.

[0013] Step S3: Add lactide, hexahydroxyphosphorus nitrogen intermediate and stannous octoate to the reactor under nitrogen atmosphere, evacuate to vacuum, react at 140-160° C. for 12-24 hours, cool after the reaction, add chloroform to dissolve, then add methanol to precipitate, filter, wash with ethanol, and dry to obtain a six-arm star-shaped phosphorus nitrogen-based polylactic acid.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Carbon nanotubes have a large aspect ratio and a large number of π bonds. Electrons can move through the π bonds to form current, and a partial conductive path can be formed inside the fiber. As the content of carbon nanotubes increases, a complete conductive network structure is gradually formed. At the same time, carbon nanotubes are also lubricants, which have a certain lubricity on the fiber surface and can reduce the friction coefficient, thereby inhibiting and reducing the generation of static charge. Star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes have a structure similar to that of the polylactic acid matrix and have good interfacial compatibility, so that the carbon nanotubes are evenly dispersed in the polymer matrix and form a strong interfacial bond, avoiding migration and precipitation, and having anti-static and long-lasting properties.

[0020] (2) Star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes contain triazine rings, which decompose to produce inert gases when heated, diluting the concentration of oxygen and combustible gases in the air. At the same time, they have excellent carbonization ability. When the material is burned by a fire source, a foam-like protective layer will be formed to isolate the fire source and the material, thereby slowing down or preventing the spread of the flame. In addition, phosphorus-containing substances decompose to produce phosphoric acid or polyphosphoric acid during combustion, and then form a dense carbon layer, isolating the matrix from heat and oxygen in a solid form. Phosphorus and nitrogen elements synergistically act as flame retardants, and further cross-link into a denser carbon layer during the combustion process, blocking the exchange of oxygen and heat between the fiber matrix and the air, significantly improving the flame retardant properties of the microfiber fabric.

[0021] (3) Carbon nanotubes can be chemically grafted with multi-arm polylactic acid, making them uniformly dispersed in the polylactic acid matrix, improving the interaction between composite materials, forming a cross-linked network structure, and increasing the density of the fiber fabric; at the same time, the carbon nanotubes have a large specific surface area, which increases the contact area with the matrix and provides a guarantee for physical entanglement, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of the ultrafine fiber fabric and broadening its application range.

[0059] Table 1 Antistatic performance test <![CDATA[比电阻×10 -8 (Ω·cm)]]> Tribo-triboelectric voltage (V) Example 1 8.96 988 Example 2 7.52 905 Example 3 5.84 824 Example 4 4.10 708 Example 5 3.88 670 Comparative Example 1 9.02 995 Comparative Example 2 18.35 1680 Comparative Example 3 14.21 1325 The antistatic performance of fiber fabrics is characterized by specific resistivity. As specific resistivity decreases, the insulation of the fiber fabric decreases, the conductivity increases, and the antistatic performance improves. The antistatic performance of fiber fabrics is characterized by the induced static voltage after friction. The smaller the induced static voltage after friction, the better the antistatic performance of the fiber fabric. The test results in the table above show that with the increase of the content of star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes, the antistatic performance of polylactic acid microfiber fabrics gradually increases. The specific resistivity of Example 4 is 4.10×10 -8 Ω·cm, and a tribostatic voltage of 708V, indicating excellent antistatic performance. This is because, on the one hand, carbon nanotubes have a large aspect ratio and a large number of π bonds. Electrons can move through the π bonds to form current, forming a partial conductive path within the fiber. As the carbon nanotube content increases, a complete conductive network structure gradually forms. At the same time, carbon nanotubes are also lubricants, with a certain lubricity on the fiber surface, which can reduce the friction coefficient and thus inhibit and reduce the generation of static charge. On the other hand, the star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes have a structure similar to that of the polylactic acid matrix and have good interfacial compatibility. The carbon nanotubes are evenly dispersed in the polymer matrix and form a strong interfacial bond, avoiding migration and precipitation, and have long-lasting antistatic performance.

[0060] Comparative Example 1 does not contain carbon nanotubes and has no antistatic properties; the carbon nanotubes added in Comparative Example 3 are not modified, have poor compatibility with the polylactic acid matrix, are easily agglomerated, are difficult to form a good conductive path, and have poor antistatic properties.

[0061] Flame retardant performance test: The test is carried out in accordance with GB / T 5455-2014 standard, and the flame retardant performance of microfiber fabrics is evaluated by afterflaming time and damage length.

[0062] Table 2 Flame retardant performance test Afterglow time (s) Damage length (mm) Example 1 10.3 19.6 Example 2 8.2 17.2 Example 3 5.5 14.9 Example 4 3.1 11.5 Example 5 2.4 8.8 Comparative Example 1 38.5 52.7 Comparative Example 2 11.0 19.2 Comparative Example 3 42.8 55.4 The test results in the table above show that the flame retardancy of the polylactic acid microfiber fabric gradually improves with increasing content of star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes. In Example 5, the afterflame time was only 2.4 seconds, and the damaged length was 8.8 mm, indicating good flame retardancy. This is because the star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes contain triazine rings, which decompose upon heating to produce inert gases, diluting the oxygen and combustible gas concentrations in the air. They also have excellent charring ability. When the material is exposed to a fire source, a foam-like protective layer is formed, isolating the fire source from the material, thereby slowing or preventing the spread of flames. Furthermore, phosphorus-containing substances decompose upon combustion to produce phosphoric acid or polyphosphoric acid, which in turn forms a dense char layer that insulates the matrix from heat and oxygen in a solid form. The phosphorus and nitrogen elements synergistically act as flame retardants, further cross-linking during combustion to form a denser char layer, blocking the exchange of oxygen and heat between the fiber matrix and the air, significantly improving the flame retardancy of the microfiber fabric. Comparative Examples 1 and 3 do not contain phosphorus and nitrogen flame retardants and therefore lack flame retardancy.

[0063] Mechanical properties test: The test was carried out using an electronic strength tester for chemical fiber filaments with a clamping distance of 200 mm. Each sample was tested 10 times and the average value was taken.

[0064] Table 3 Mechanical properties test Breaking strength (cN / dtex) Example 1 1.76 Example 2 1.81 Example 3 1.95 Example 4 2.06 Example 5 2.15 Comparative Example 1 1.72 Comparative Example 2 1.63 Comparative Example 3 1.48 It can be seen from the test results in the above table that with the increase of the content of star-shaped polylactic acid grafted carbon nanotubes, the mechanical properties of the polylactic acid microfiber fabric gradually increase, and Example 5 reaches 2.15 cN / dtex. The main reason is that the carbon nanotubes and the multi-arm polylactic acid are chemically grafted, so that they are evenly dispersed in the polylactic acid matrix, which improves the interaction between the composite materials, forms a cross-linked network structure, and increases the density of the fiber fabric; at the same time, the carbon nanotubes have a large specific surface area, which increases the contact area with the matrix, provides a guarantee for physical entanglement, and thus significantly improves the mechanical properties of the microfiber fabric.
