Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for preparing and applying a reactive cationic polymer with adjustable properties, belonging to the field of textile printing and dyeing. Background Technology
[0002] Cotton and linen fibers, with their excellent moisture absorption, softness, comfort, breathability, and biodegradability, are important textile fibers with high market demand. Viscose, Modal, and Lyocell fibers are fibers made from natural plant raw materials (such as wood pulp and cotton linters) through chemical processing. They are regenerated cellulose fibers, possessing the moisture absorption and breathability of natural fibers while having improved dyeing performance, leading to a year-on-year increase in their use in the textile market. Meanwhile, considering the functional requirements of textile fibers such as elasticity and durability, cellulose blended fibers occupy a significant share of the textile market. Both natural fibers like cotton and linen, and regenerated fibers like Modal and Lyocell, have the structure of cellulose fibers and contain reactive hydroxyl groups; therefore, reactive dyes are the main dyes for dyeing cellulose fibers. Traditional reactive dyeing technology suffers from drawbacks such as high salt consumption, low dye fixation rate, and large wastewater volume. The resulting saline dyeing wastewater is difficult to treat and poses a significant environmental hazard. Therefore, achieving salt-free, high-fixation dyeing of cellulose fibers and their blends is a key research focus in the textile printing and dyeing industry.
[0003] Cationic modification of fibers involves introducing cations into the fiber structure through physical or chemical methods, thereby altering the fiber's electronegativity to achieve salt-free dyeing. Chemical modification utilizes the chemical reaction between cationic reagents and hydroxyl groups on the fiber to introduce cations into the fiber structure. When the modifier has a large molecular weight and contains many cationic groups, it exhibits high affinity for the fiber and is easily adsorbed onto the fiber surface. Conversely, when the modifier contains many reactive groups, it improves the reaction efficiency between the reagent and the fiber, reducing reagent hydrolysis. However, excessively high molecular weight and cationic group content may lead to poor reagent penetration, affecting the dyeing permeability. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the effects of different cationic and reactive group contents on the effectiveness of cationic auxiliaries. Cationic polymers obtained from dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride and allyl glycidyl ether are promising cationic auxiliaries. The polymerization reaction of these two polymers is carried out in aqueous solution. Allyl glycidyl ether has low solubility in water, resulting in low two-phase reaction efficiency with the cationic monomer. Furthermore, during polymerization, epoxy groups are prone to hydrolysis, making it difficult to control the content of reactive groups in the product. Most of the reported patents use direct aqueous solution polymerization, which fails to effectively suppress the hydrolysis of epoxy groups, resulting in insufficient epoxy group retention in the polymerization product. This affects the reactivity of the subsequent polymer and fiber. Consequently, the reported patents use a large amount of auxiliaries, leading to resource waste. Furthermore, fiber modification and dyeing are carried out at 25–35 °C with a liquor ratio of 1:100. While low temperatures reduce the possibility of epoxy group hydrolysis in the polymer and a large liquor ratio ensures uniform dyeing, the reaction rate is slower at low temperatures, resulting in longer reaction times for modification and dyeing, and lower production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to synthesize a reactive cationic polymer that enables salt-free, high-fixation dyeing of cellulose fibers and their blends at low dosages.
[0005] A method for preparing a reactive cationic polymer with tunable properties includes the following process steps:

Cationic monomers were then added to the reaction system, along with a phase transfer catalyst or organic solvent. An initiator was added dropwise under a nitrogen atmosphere, and the mixture was stirred to carry out a free radical polymerization reaction. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was allowed to cool naturally and dried to obtain a reactive cationic polymer. The epoxy reactive monomer is one of allyl glycidyl ether, 4-vinylbenzyl glycidyl ether, and glycidyl methacrylate.

[0018] Furthermore, the initiator is one of potassium persulfate, ammonium persulfate, azobisisobutyronitrile, azobisisobutyramidine hydrochloride, azobisisobutyramidine imidazoline hydrochloride, and potassium persulfate-sodium bisulfite.
[0019] Furthermore, the initiator is added to the polymerization reaction system in the form of an initiator aqueous solution, and the amount of water in the reaction system can be controlled by controlling the concentration of the initiator aqueous solution, thus ensuring that the monomer concentration in the polymerization reaction system is within an appropriate range.
[0020] Furthermore, the amount of initiator used is 0.5% to 10% of the total mass of the monomer, and the dropping rate is 0.1 mL / min to 10 mL / min.
[0021] Furthermore, the free radical polymerization reaction temperature is 35 ℃~80 ℃, and the reaction time is 4 h~24 h.
[0022] Furthermore, after the free radical polymerization reaction is completed, the product is allowed to cool naturally, then poured into acetone to precipitate the product. After filtration, the product is dried under vacuum at 30 °C.

[0025] Furthermore, the concentration of the reactive cationic polymer in the modified solution is 0.3 g / L to 8 g / L.
[0026] Furthermore, the cellulose fiber is one of cotton fiber, linen fiber, viscose fiber, modal fiber, or lyocell fiber.
[0027] Furthermore, the modified solution also includes additives, which are one or a combination of two or more of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and sodium carbonate, and the concentration of the additives is 0.5 g / L to 8 g / L.
[0028] Furthermore, the bath ratio of the cellulose fibers to the modified solution is 1:6 to 1:20.
[0029] Furthermore, the specific treatment method is as follows: first, treat at 10 ℃~30 ℃ for 10~40 min, then raise the temperature to 50 ℃~100 ℃ at a heating rate of 0.5 ℃~3 ℃ and treat for 10~60 min, with a bath ratio of 1:6~1:20.
[0030] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for salt-free dyeing of cationized cellulose fibers.
[0031] A salt-free reactive dyeing method involves placing the prepared cationic cellulose fibers in a dye bath, first treating them at 10℃~30℃ for 5~60 min, then raising the temperature to 60℃~90℃ at a rate of 0.5℃~3℃ and treating them for 10~100 min. The bath ratio is 1:4~1:20, the dye concentration in the dye bath is 1%~6%, and sodium carbonate is added to the dye bath at a concentration of 0 g / L~20 g / L.
[0032] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This invention provides a method for synthesizing a reactive cationic polymer with adjustable performance, and uses the polymer for cationic modification of cellulose fibers, achieving salt-free, high-fixation dyeing of reactive dyes with very low amounts of cationic polymer. Firstly, before the free radical polymerization reaction, concentrated hydrochloric acid and epoxy-based reactive monomers are reacted to convert epoxy groups to chlorohydrin groups, increasing the water solubility of the monomers and allowing the entire polymerization system to proceed in a more homogeneous aqueous solution, which is beneficial for promoting the copolymerization reaction and simultaneously protecting the epoxy groups. Secondly, cationic polymers with different reactive group contents and different cationic contents are prepared. Finally, the prepared reactive cationic polymer is used for fiber pretreatment. After treatment, the fibers achieve effective dye adsorption and high-efficiency fixation without the addition of inorganic salts. Attached Figure Description
