Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of dyeing and finishing of textile fabrics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a wettable Janus fabric and a wettable Janus fabric. Background Art

[0002] A wettable Janus fabric refers to a fabric with opposite wettabilities on its front and back sides, that is, one side is hydrophilic and the other side is hydrophobic. Due to its unique wettability, it has now received attention in application fields such as fog collection, oil-water separation, seawater desalination, sensors, unidirectional movement of bubbles, and unidirectional water conduction. Common preparation methods of wettable Janus fabrics include gradient electrospinning, unilateral electrostatic spraying, single-sided light treatment, single-sided coating, two-layer lamination, etc. However, methods such as electrospinning, unilateral electrostatic spraying, and single-sided light treatment have the advantage of a large difference in static contact angles between the hydrophobic surface and the hydrophilic surface, but according to the existing technology, their preparation efficiency is low; the single-sided coating technology has the advantage of large-scale mass production, and the thickeners contained in high-viscosity water-based hydrophobic coatings have a great impact on the hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic surface. Usually, its static contact angle is difficult to exceed 150°, and the coating formed by the high-viscosity coating has a great impact on the air permeability of the fabric; two-layer lamination is to laminate a hydrophilic fabric and a hydrophobic fabric using an adhesive, and the adhesion strength is negatively correlated with the hydrophobicity of the hydrophobic fabric, and the high-viscosity adhesive will also have a great impact on the air permeability of the fabric, while the low-viscosity adhesive will reduce the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the hydrophilic surface and the hydrophobic surface due to penetration.

[0003] Thus, it is difficult for the existing technology to achieve a balance among a large difference in static contact angles between the hydrophobic surface and the hydrophilic surface of the wettable Janus fabric, high air permeability of the fabric, and mass production. In order to overcome the problems existing in these existing technologies, industry players are also actively conducting research and development, developing a new heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane end-capping agent and preparing water-soluble heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane, and using this as the main body of the protective coating to provide a new processing technology for wettable Janus fabrics.

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0047] Figure 1 Schematic flow diagram of the preparation method of the wettable Janus fabric provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown, the preparation method of the wettable Janus fabric includes:

[0049] Step 1: Prepare water-soluble terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane;

[0050] Step 2: Add the water-soluble terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane and a thickener into water to prepare a water-soluble protective coating with high viscosity;

[0051] Step 3: Apply the water-soluble protective coating to one side of the base fabric by single-sided coating, and then dry it to obtain a single-sided protective coating fabric;

[0052] Step 4: Prepare a low-viscosity superhydrophobic spraying liquid, perform hydrophobic spraying treatment on the uncoated side of the single-sided protective coating fabric, and then dry it to obtain a superhydrophobic - single-sided protective coating fabric;

[0053] Step 5: Wash and dry the obtained superhydrophobic - single - sided protected coating fabric to remove the water - soluble single - sided protective coating, and obtain a wettable Janus fabric.

[0054] The preparation method of the wettable Janus fabric of the present application has the following advantages:

[0055] (1) The present invention combines a coating process to synthesize a novel water - soluble terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane. The heptamethyltrisiloxane group has excellent permeability and spreading ability due to its special molecular structure, and can firmly adhere to the surface of high - surface - energy fibers, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the coating during the coating process. A large number of hydrophilic groups in the polyurethane can ensure that the protective coating dissolves rapidly in water. The above characteristics of the newly synthesized polyurethane enable it to protect the hydrophilic surface of the fabric from being infiltrated by low - viscosity hydrophobic coatings. After washing, the wettable Janus fabric can maintain excellent hydrophilicity on the hydrophilic surface, and the difference in static contact angles between the hydrophobic surface and the hydrophilic surface can exceed 160° at most. Specifically, heptamethyltrisiloxane has a unique "umbrella - like" structure, which contains seven Si - CH3 groups with a lower surface energy than C - CH3. In addition, due to the relatively long bond length of the Si - O - Si bond, it has excellent flexibility, which is more conducive to its spreading and penetration. The end - capping agent synthesized from heptamethyltrisiloxane and allyl glycidyl ether used in this application provides this group for the polyurethane, making the polyurethane have high permeability and spreading ability.

[0056] (2) The binder in the low - viscosity superhydrophobic spraying liquid used in the present invention can form a strong force between the fibers and the hydrophobic agent, firmly fixing the hydrophobic agent on the fabric surface, thereby ensuring the durability (wear resistance and wash resistance) of the function in the application of the hydrophobic surface of the wettable Janus fabric.

[0057] (3) The use of low - viscosity hydrophobic spraying liquid is conducive to diffusion on the surface and in the gaps of fabric fibers, and will not block the pores in the fabric, enabling the wettable Janus fabric to have excellent air permeability.

[0058] (4) The process of the present invention has strong applicability and can be mass - produced on a large scale through the existing equipment in ordinary dyeing and finishing workshops to improve the production efficiency of the wettable Janus fabric.

[0065] Adding a salt - forming agent into the terminal - heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane to obtain the water - soluble terminal - heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane.

[0066] In this embodiment, the diisocyanate is one or a combination of toluene diisocyanate (TDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI), dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate (HMDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), lysine diisocyanate (LDI);

[0067] The polyol is one or a combination of polycaprolactone, polyethylene adipate glycol, polytetrahydrofuran glycol, polypropylene glycol, polybutylene adipate diol, polyethylene glycol;

[0068] The small - molecule diol hydrophilic chain extender is one or a combination of dimethylolpropionic acid, dimethylolbutyric acid, dimethylolhydantoin, N - methyldiethanolamine;

[0069] The salt - forming agent is triethylamine, ammonia water or glacial acetic acid. The finally synthesized polyurethane is a terminal - heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane.

[0070] In this embodiment, the thickener in the water-soluble protective coating is one or a combination of polyurethane associative thickeners, cellulose thickeners, polyacrylate thickeners, and natural rubber thickeners;

[0071] The mass fraction of the water-soluble polymer is 2 to 30%, and the viscosity of the water-soluble protective coating is 200 to 30,000 mPa·s.

[0072] In this embodiment, the composition of the superhydrophobic spraying liquid consists of three parts: an adhesive, an organic solvent, and a water repellent; among them,

[0073] The total solute mass fraction of the superhydrophobic spraying liquid is 5 to 70%, and the viscosity of the superhydrophobic spraying liquid is 1 to 50 mPa·s.

[0074] In this embodiment, the adhesive of the superhydrophobic spraying liquid is one or a combination of epoxy resins, polyurethanes, polyacrylates, and cyanoacrylates that are soluble in organic solvents;

[0076] In this embodiment, the drying temperature of the superhydrophobic - single-sided protective coating fabric is 40 to 60 °C, and the drying time is 5 to 120 min.

[0077] In this embodiment, in the water washing treatment of the obtained superhydrophobic - single-sided protective coating fabric, the washing temperature of the water washing treatment is 40 to 90 °C, the washing time is 5 to 100 min; the drying temperature is 40 to 100 °C, and the drying time is 5 to 120 min.

[0078] This application also provides a wettable Janus fabric, which is characterized in that the wettable Janus fabric is prepared by the preparation method of the wettable Janus fabric as described above.

[0079] In this embodiment, for the wettable Janus fabric prepared by the above method, the contact angle of the hydrophilic surface < 90°, the contact angle of the hydrophobic surface > 90°, and the air permeability > 20 mm / s when the test pressure difference is 100 Pa.

[0080] The following further elaborates on this application by way of examples. It can be understood that these examples do not constitute any limitation to this application.

[0081] Referring to Figure 4, the principle of the present invention to solve the above problems is as follows: First, 1,1,1,3,5,5,5-heptamethyl-3(1-ethyl-2,3-epoxypropoxy)trisiloxane was synthesized as the heptamethyltrisiloxanyl capping agent for polyurethane. Using this as the capping agent, water-soluble terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane was synthesized as a water-based protective coating. The heptamethyltrisiloxanyl group has excellent permeability and spreading ability due to its special molecular structure, and can firmly adhere to the surface of high surface energy fibers, ensuring the uniformity and stability of the coating during the coating process. A large number of hydrophilic groups in the polyurethane can ensure that the protective coating dissolves rapidly in water. Secondly, based on these two characteristics, using a single-sided coating process, by adding a thickening agent to adjust the viscosity of the water-based protective coating, the thickness of the coated layer can be controlled, so that the hydrophilic fibers on one side of the fabric are covered by the protective coating formed by the protective coating, and the hydrophilic fibers on the other side are exposed. Then, through a spraying process, a low-viscosity superhydrophobic spraying liquid is arranged on the exposed hydrophilic fibers. Due to the presence of organic solvents in the low-viscosity spraying liquid, its surface tension is extremely low, and it can quickly penetrate to the surface of the hydrophilic fibers in the fabric and combine with the fiber surface with strong forces (covalent bonds, ionic bonds or hydrogen bonds, etc.), and can ensure large pores on the hydrophobic surface. At this time, the protective coating can prevent the hydrophobic spraying liquid from penetrating to the fibers covered by the protective coating. Finally, through a water washing process, the water-soluble protective coating is washed away, and the protected hydrophilic fibers are exposed again. To achieve the effect of hydrophobic on one side, hydrophilic on the other side and high breathability. Based on the above principle, the embodiments in this specification provide a preparation method of a wettability Janus fabric, including:

[0084] Step 12: React diisocyanate and polyol at a certain temperature to prepare a prepolymer with an isocyanate group at the end, then add a solvent, a small molecule diol hydrophilic chain extender and a catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate for chain extension to obtain terminal isocyanate group polyurethane. Add diamine at low temperature (0°C - 10°C) to obtain terminal amino polyurethane. Add the prepared heptamethyltrisiloxanyl capping agent, raise the temperature and react (40°C - 70°C) for a certain time to obtain terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane, and then add a salt-forming agent to obtain water-soluble terminal heptamethyltrisiloxanyl polyurethane.
