Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of textile fabric technology, specifically to a moisture-resistant, heat-resistant, antibacterial outdoor functional fabric and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With the rise of outdoor enthusiasts, activities such as adventure, camping, and mountain hiking are becoming increasingly popular. The diversity and harshness of outdoor environments pose comprehensive challenges to functional fabrics, with moisture and heat resistance being one of the core requirements. Outdoor scenarios often involve high temperatures and humidity, large temperature differences between day and night, and frequent rain and fog, such as during the rainy season in the south and at coastal campsites. If fabrics absorb moisture, they are prone to problems such as decreased mechanical properties, interfacial delamination, aging, and cracking, which not only affect their service life but may also lead to mold growth, impacting the user experience. Secondly, there is an urgent need for long-lasting antibacterial properties. In hot and humid environments, sweat, dust, and other organic matter easily adhere to the fabric surface, becoming a breeding ground for bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as mold, causing odors, fabric corrosion, and even harming the user's health. This is especially true for long-term outdoor stays, where sustained antibacterial capabilities are extremely important.

[0003] Furthermore, structural stability is indispensable. Outdoor fabrics need to withstand repeated stretching, friction, and environmental erosion. The composite interface must be firmly bonded, non-porous, and have low residual stress to prevent peeling and damage during use. Basalt fiber has become an ideal substrate due to its advantages such as high temperature resistance, strong weather resistance, and environmental friendliness. However, the interface bonding problem caused by its surface inertness limits its application. Therefore, technological research and development must take into account both the characteristics of the substrate and the requirements of the application scenario to achieve a balance between performance and practicality, and adapt to the precise needs of diverse outdoor scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a moisture- and heat-resistant, antibacterial outdoor functional fabric and its preparation method, so as to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing a moisture- and heat-resistant, antibacterial outdoor functional fabric, comprising the following steps: (1) Basalt ore particles are heated to 1450~1500℃ to melt and kept at that temperature for 2 hours. Then, nonwoven fabric is obtained by spinning and needle punching. (2) Fix the polymer film on the workbench, lay non-woven fabric on it, and perform laser composite treatment. At the same time, nitrogen, water vapor and rare earth salt vapor are introduced. Then, lay the polymer film on the non-woven fabric as the third layer, and then introduce nitrogen, water vapor and rare earth salt vapor again for laser composite treatment. Finally, tempering treatment is performed at a temperature of 120~150℃ for 1~2 hours to obtain a moisture-resistant and heat-resistant antibacterial outdoor functional fabric.

[0006] Furthermore, the main components of the basalt ore particles in step (1) are as follows: silicon dioxide 45-55%, aluminum oxide 12-18%, iron oxide 8-12%, calcium oxide 5-8%, magnesium oxide 3-5%, and the particle size is 10-20 mm.

[0007] Furthermore, the spinning process parameters in step (1) are: aperture of 0.08~0.2mm and speed of 1000~3000m / min.

[0008] Furthermore, the process parameters for acupuncture in step (1) are: acupuncture density of 10~50 needles / inch², acupuncture depth of 5~20mm, and speed of 100~600 times / minute.

[0009] Furthermore, the nonwoven fabric in step (1) has a basis weight of 100~150g / m², a thickness of 0.4~1mm, and a porosity of 45~60%.

[0010] Furthermore, the thickness of the polymer film in step (2) is 0.1 mm.

[0011] Furthermore, the raw material for the polymer film in step (2) is at least one of polyurethane, epoxy resin, polyimide, and polylactic acid.

[0012] Furthermore, the process parameters for the laser composite treatment in step (2) are: laser power of 150~200W, scanning speed of 10~50mm / s, and pressure of the pressure roller of 0.5~1MPa.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (2), the flow rate of nitrogen is 10~20L / min, the flow rate of water vapor is 5~10mL / min, and the flow rate of rare earth salt vapor is 5~10mg / m³.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (2), the rare earth salt vapor is produced by mixing rare earth salt and deionized water at a mass ratio of 1:50 and vaporizing them into gas; the rare earth salt is at least one of cerium nitrate and lanthanum chloride.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: This invention utilizes basalt melt to obtain a nonwoven fabric film layer. A polymer protective film is then laminated between the upper and lower layers of the fiber film using a laser process. Under the combined action of roller pressure and laser heating, the film melts and softens, leading to adhesion within the contact area, thus producing a functional fabric. The nonwoven fabric structure enhances the laser's penetration into the substrate and the formation of the composite interface. When a third layer is laid, repeated thermal loading improves self-adhesion, forming interlayer adhesion, eliminating porosity, strengthening tight contact, and increasing crystallinity through cooling crystallization, thereby optimizing moisture and heat resistance and antibacterial properties. The effect is that, in the laser composite process, water vapor and rare earth salt vapor are introduced. Water vapor, as a reaction medium, promotes the chemical bonding between the silanol groups on the surface of basalt fibers and the polymer protective layer, enhancing the interfacial bonding force. At the same time, the thermal conduction of water vapor can reduce the local temperature of laser processing and reduce matrix damage. In synergy with rare earth salt vapor, it can optimize the interfacial layer structure, form a denser silicate hydrate, and improve the long-term moisture and heat resistance and antibacterial properties of the fabric. Finally, tempering treatment is performed to adjust the crystallinity to a uniform level, reduce residual stress, and further enhance the moisture and heat resistance of the fabric.

[0027] A comparison of the experimental data from the embodiments and comparative examples in Table 1 reveals that the present invention utilizes basalt melt to obtain a nonwoven fabric membrane layer. The upper and lower layers of the fiber membrane are then laminated with a polymer protective film using laser technology to produce a functional fabric. The nonwoven fabric structure enhances the laser's penetration into the substrate and its ability to form a composite interface. When the third layer is laid, repeated thermal loading improves self-adhesion, forming interlayer adhesion and strengthening close contact. Cooling and crystallization increase crystallinity, thereby optimizing the resistance to damp heat and antibacterial properties. Furthermore, water vapor and rare earth salt vapor are introduced during the laser lamination process. Water vapor acts as a reaction medium, enhancing interfacial bonding. Simultaneously, the thermal conduction of water vapor reduces the local temperature during laser processing, minimizing substrate damage. In synergy with rare earth salt vapor, the interfacial layer structure is optimized, improving the fabric's long-term resistance to damp heat and antibacterial properties.
