Fabric and clothes for atopic dermatitis patients

Abstract

It is intended to provide a fabric and clothes which can be obtained at a high productivity and are little irritative to atopic dermatitis patients. Namely, a fabric for atopic dermatitis patients, which is made of an EVOH-based fiber comprising an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer having 25 to 70% by mol of ethylene copolymerized therein at a ratio of 70% or more of the fiber surface and can be in contact with affected parts of the atopic dermatitis patients and in which the hydroxyl content on the EVOH-based fiber surface amounts to 20 to 70% by mol, the Young's modulus of the EVOH-based fiber is 60cN / dtex or lower and the strand thickness of the EVOH-based fiber is 5 dtex or less, is prepared. The EVOH-based fiber may be a core-shell type compound fiber containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer as the shell component, in particular, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer having 25 to 70% by mol of ethylene copolymerized therein as the shell component, and a crystalline thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 150 DEG C or higher as the core component.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fabric made of synthetic fibers which is suitable for reducing itching on the affected part of atopic dermatitis patients or treating scratches accompanied by itching, has sufficient fiber properties, and is excellent in durability and fabric formability, and clothing. Background technique [0002] Hitherto, as a fiber material excellent in biocompatibility, chitin using chitin, a natural polymer substance contained in shells of crabs or shrimps, or a deacetylated product of chitin is known. For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-92820 (Patent Document 1), it is disclosed that chitin viscose is made into viscose, and the liquid after mixing chitin viscose and cellulose viscose is used as a spinning stock solution, and passed through Fibers are produced by wet spinning of common viscose rayon. Also, "The preparation and application of functional fibers from crabshell chitin" (Journal of Biotechno...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in this technology, there is a problem that the coated chitin or chitosan peels off after use or repeated washing, and lacks durability.

[0007] However, in this type of method, generally speaking, the properties of silk protein can be imparted to the surface of the material, but since it is a method of using an aqueous solution of silk protein or a dispersion of silk protein as a treatment agent, the same as the above-mentioned method, the presence of silk protein in the fiber Easy to fall off during use or washing, lack of durability

Also studied the material that uses silk protein and binder or coating to mix as treatment agent, this treatment liquid is coated on the method for fiber or cloth surface, in this method, because the surface of silk protein is covered with binder or coating resin Covered, there is a problem that the characteristics of silk protein cannot be exerted

[0008] As a method to solve this problem, there is a method proposed in JP-A-2003-342835 (Patent Document 4), which is to knead a thermoplastic resin having an appropriate melting point with silk particles, and use the kneaded resin as a sheath component to form a core. The method of sheath-type composite spinning fibers, but in this method, the same as the above-mentioned method, there is the following problem: because the silk protein is covered by the resin, the desired purpose cannot be achieved, and the thermoplastic resin that can be further used is extremely limited.

However, in this document, there is no description of the details of the polyethylene glycol used, nor is there any description of the relationship between polyethylene glycol and atopic dermatitis
