Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a condensation polyurethane fiber, and more particularly to a condensation non-isocyanate polyurethane fiber. Prior Technology

[0002] Spandex fiber has wide applications in sportswear, such as yoga wear. The raw material for producing Spandex fiber is polyurethane polyurea, such as patents TW200412352, US6916896B2, and US20250129522A1. Its structure contains a high content of urea bonds (>40 mol%), with strong hydrogen bonding. Therefore, solvent spinning is required during fiber production, and waste solvents must be treated afterward. Consequently, the industry hopes to switch to a green process like melt spinning. Common melt spinning raw materials are thermoplastic polyurethanes, such as US10875956B2, which mainly use isocyanates and polyols. Since isocyanates are toxic, non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) processes have become a highly sought-after green process in the industry.

[0003] It is known that the green manufacturing process of non-isocyanate polyurethane can be divided into two methods: addition polymerization and polycondensation. The product structures of the two methods are not the same.

[0004] Addition polymerization, such as US 20230183423 A1, uses a compound containing multiple cyclic carbonate groups to add polymerize with a polyamine to prepare PU. The synthesized PU has OH functional groups on its side chains, hence it is called polyhydroxyurethane (PHU, as shown in the structure below).

[0005] Another more environmentally friendly green process is condensation polymerization. A commonly used starting material is a carbonate reacting with a diamine, followed by transesterification with a polyol to obtain a condensation-polymerized NIPU. The condensation-polymerized NIPU synthesized by condensation polymerization does not have OH functional side chains, and its structure differs from that of the addition polymerization product PHU. For example, CN 101696271 A, CN 103865059 A, CN 116355210 A, CN 112853531 A, and CN 104513393 B disclose the use of carbonate and diamine to first prepare a diurethane diol monomer (a type of diurethane), which is then polymerized with a polyol to obtain NIPU suitable for direct melt processing. However, the preparation of the diurethane diol monomer requires recrystallization purification using organic solvents, resulting in a large amount of waste liquid. The process is energy-intensive and environmentally unfriendly.

[0006] As mentioned above, although there are already green and environmentally friendly processes for preparing NIPU, the industry hopes to process green and environmentally friendly NIPU into fibers. It is worth noting that because the molecular structure of condensation-polymerized NIPU is linear, its molecular entanglement is insufficient (poor cohesion), leading to easy filament breakage or poor yarn uniformity during spinning, thus affecting the fiber's physical properties. For example, CN112853531A discloses a non-isocyanate method for preparing aliphatic polyurethane. This technology uses chain extenders to increase the molecular weight of NIPU to enable smooth spinning. However, in addition to considering molecular weight, the influence of molecular cohesion on the die swell ratio during high-temperature melt spinning also needs to be considered. Simply increasing the molecular weight cannot effectively control the die swell ratio, and filament breakage still occurs during spinning. Summary of the Invention

[0007] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a condensation polyurethane fiber that can overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention provides a condensation polyurethane fiber comprising a condensation polyurethane resin, wherein the condensation polyurethane resin comprises: a plurality of first segments having a structure as shown in chemical formula (1): Chemical formula (1); and a plurality of terminal groups, which are R2-bonded to at least one of the first segments, and the terminal groups have the structure shown in chemical formula (2): Chemical formula (2); wherein R1 and R3 are independently composed of a first organic group from C2 to C20, and the first organic group includes a hydrocarbon group or a group containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, wherein the first segments have the same or different R2, which are independently composed of a second organic group from C2 to C20, and the second organic group includes a hydrocarbon group or a group containing carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, wherein the condensation polyurethane resin has an amine value of not less than 10 meq / kg; and the coefficient of variation (CV value) of the condensation polyurethane fiber is not higher than 6.

[0102] Spinning was performed using a USTER® Tensorapid spinning machine. The polyurethane resins of Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were melted and extruded through a screw extruder, then precisely metered by a metering pump and fed into the spinning element. The resins were then extruded through a spinneret to form filament bundles, which were subsequently cooled, bundled, stretched, and wound to obtain the polyurethane elastic fibers. The melt temperature of the screw extruder was 150°C, and the spinning speed was 200 m / min. The die sizing ratio and fiber denier number in the spinning process can be found in Table 1.

[0103] [[] [Amine Value Measurement] []]

[0104] The amine values ​​of the condensation polyurethane resin, polyurethane resin, urethane mixture and intermediate product of Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were measured using ASTM D2074, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0105] [[] [Polyurethane molecular weight] []]

[0106] The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the condensation polyurethane resins of Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 was measured using ASTM D3536, and the results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0107] [[] [Urea bond content in condensation polyurethane] []]

[0108] The nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the polyurethane resins of Examples 1-17 and Comparative Examples 1-6 were measured by 1H NMR (DMSO-d6). The integral area (A1) with a chemical shift (δ) between 5.6 and 5.8 ppm and the integral area (A2) with a chemical shift between 6.7 and 7.3 ppm were calculated. The urea-containing segment content (mol%) of the polyurethane resin was defined as [A1 / (A1+A2)]×100%. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0109] [[] [Spinning process die swell ratio] []]

[0110] The die swell ratio is defined as: the diameter of the extruder after exiting the spinning die (D, extrudate) / the diameter of the spinning die (D, die).

[0111] [[] [Fiber Variation Coefficient] []]

[0112] The coefficient of variation (CV) is used to measure fiber uniformity, and its formula is as follows: Wherein, the standard deviation (σ) is the dispersion of the fiber denier; the mean (μ) is the average denier of the fiber. Take ten fibers and calculate their average denier. [Table 1] Amine value of polyurethane resin (meq / kg) Urea content (mol%) spinning process Diode swell ratio fiber Coefficient of variation (CV) fiber Dani number Denier E1 31.3 29.7 1.1 1.9 151 E2 22.4 23.5 1.2 2.6 110 E3 28.8 26.3 1.1 1.3 211 E4 26.9 25.1 1.1 3.4 105 E5 14.6 18.5 1.2 4.2 twenty one E6 22.9 23.7 1.1 3.2 106 E7 18.5 20.6 1.3 4.9 99 E8 19.7 21.3 1.2 3.7 89 E9 12.4 16.4 1.4 5.1 74 E10 10.6 7.9 1.4 5.2 71 E11 15.6 19.2 1.5 5.3 74 E12 11.2 10.1 1.4 5.2 72 E13 12.1 8.7 1.4 5.1 101 E14 23.8 24.3 1.1 3.5 104 E15 22.4 23.1 1.2 3.6 103 E16 12.6 19.5 1.4 5.4 79 E17 21.5 22.9 1.1 3.7 101 CE1 45.2 32.1 1.0 6.2 73 CE2 6.4 5.6 2.2 7.9 104 CE3 5.3 1.3 2.0 6.8 114 CE4 6.5 2.4 2.1 7.3 128 CE5 5.3 1.7 2.2 7.6 107 CE6 8.6 4.5 1.9 6.6 93

[0113] As shown in Table 1, the amine values ​​of the condensation-type polyurethane resins in Examples 1-17 ranged from 10.6 to 31.3 meq / kg, exhibiting appropriate hydrogen bond cohesion. Their spinning expansion ratio was controlled between 1.1 and 1.5, and the coefficient of variation of the resulting fibers was all below 6. In contrast, the amine value of the resin in Comparative Example 1 was 45.2 meq / kg, and its spinning expansion ratio was 1, resulting in necking and easy fiber breakage. Furthermore, the coefficient of variation of the spun fibers was greater than 6. The amine value of the resin in Comparative Example 2 was 5.6. The amine value of the polyurethane resin is 2.2, and the sizing ratio during spinning is 2.2. In addition, Comparative Examples 3 to 5 are polyurethanes made from isocyanate. Because isocyanate reacts very quickly, its amine value is low, only 5.3 to 6.5 meq / kg. The amine value of the polyurethanes in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 to 5 is all below 10 meq / kg, and the sizing ratio is greater than 1.7, resulting in poor spinning stability and a fiber variation coefficient greater than 6. It can be seen that the amine value of polyurethane resin will affect the sizing ratio during spinning, and thus affect the fiber variation coefficient after spinning.

[0114] Comparative Example 2 is similar to CN 104513393 B. As shown in Table 2, the amine value of the purified condensation polyurethane resin in Comparative Example 2 is lower than that in Example 2, at only 6.4 meq / kg. Specifically, since Comparative Example 2 removed impurities through recrystallization purification, the purified intermediate product consisted only of diurethane. However, Example 2 in this case did not undergo purification and directly carried out the next polymerization step with the intermediate product. Therefore, the intermediate product of Example 2 in this case is a mixture of urethanes, including diurethane and monourethane, which is different from the reactants in the urethane exchange condensation reaction of Comparative Example 2. After polymerization, the amine value of the product in Comparative Example 2 was too low, which affected the spinning die expansion ratio, and the coefficient of variation of the obtained fiber was 7.9 (poor). The differences in the condensation polyurethane resin processing of Comparative Example 2 and Example 2 are shown in Table 2. [Table 2] Amine value of polyurethane resin (meq / kg) spinning process Diode swell ratio fiber Coefficient of variation (CV) Denier fiber number E2 22.4 1.2 2.6 110 CE2 6.4 2.2 7.9 104

[0115] Comparative Example 6 is similar to CN112853531A. As can be seen from Table 3, the amine value of the condensation-type polyurethane resin in Comparative Example 6 is lower than that in Example 6, at only 8.6 meq / kg (amine value is too low), and the fiber coefficient of variation is 6.6 (relatively high). Specifically, since Comparative Example 6 increased its molecular weight by adding a chain extender (1,6-hexanediol), its amine value was too low, the mold expansion ratio was 1.9, and the coefficient of variation of the resulting fiber was 6.6 (poor). [Table 3] Amine value of polyurethane resin (meq / kg) spinning process Diode swell ratio fiber Coefficient of variation (CV) fiber Dani number Denier E6 22.9 1.1 3.2 106 CE6 8.6 1.9 6.6 93

[0116] In summary, the polycondensation-type polyurethane resin of the present invention has an amine value of not less than 10 meq / kg, can be successfully melt-spun, and the resulting polyurethane fibers have a coefficient of variation of not more than 6, thus effectively achieving the purpose of the present invention.
