Abstract

Device and method for preparing filament yarn of composite nanofibers. The device includes pairs of electrospinning nozzles on a frame and filament guiding roller pair under the frame. The spouts of each pair of nozzles are oppositely facing. The method includes feeding polymer solutions to the pairs of nozzles, applying high DC voltage with opposite polarity respectively to each one of the pairs of nozzles, forming composite nanofibers by attracting nanofibers with opposite charge from each nozzle and striking together of the charged nanofibers, pulling/stretching the composite nanofibers to form filament yarn of composite nanofibers, drawing down the filament yarn of composite nanofibers from the first pair of nozzles and using it as a carrier to receive the nanofibers with opposite charge electrospun from the second pair of nozzles and coated by the same so as to form multi-layer (e.g., two- or more-layer) filament yarn of composite nanofibers.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]is application is a National Phase Patent Application and claims the priority of International Application Number PCT / CN2006 / 003014, filed on Nov. 10, 2006, which claims priority of Chinese Patent Application Number 200610095384.0, filed on Jan. 11, 2006.FIELD OF THE TECHNOLOGY[0002]The present invention relates to device and method for preparing filament yarn of composite nanofibers. It belongs to the technical field of manufacturing special fibers.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]With social development and improvement of people's lives, fiber industry has faced great challenges in recent years as single components could not meet the requirement of fibers with more functions. Various types of composite fibers have been developed, such as core-sheath, filling, bilateral, sea-island and other types of composite fibers. US Patent (No. 4,717,325) designed a spinneret assembly with composite feed plates. Passages are aligned with the orifi...
