Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of spinning fiber technology, and discloses a graphene nylon spinning fiber and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Polyamide is a polymer formed by the polymerization of monomers containing carboxyl and amino groups through amide bonds. When used as synthetic fibers, it is called nylon. Among them, PA-6 and PA-66 are mainly used to spin synthetic fibers, called nylon 6 and nylon 66, which have good comprehensive properties.

[0003] With the increasing demand for products in diversified markets, single nylon fibers can no longer meet practical needs. Therefore, graphene modification is often added. Graphene has excellent hydrophilicity, infrared heating properties, antibacterial properties, and UV protection properties, while also improving the strength of nylon fibers, showing broad application prospects. However, the lack of functional groups on the surface of graphene leads to poor dispersibility, which severely limits its application in modified nylon materials.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to prepare a graphene-nylon spinning fiber with good antibacterial properties, hydrophilicity, high strength, and excellent performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a graphene nylon spun fiber and its preparation process to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A process for preparing graphene nylon spun fiber includes the following steps: S1: Take carboxyl-activated graphene and polylysine to obtain modified graphene A;

[0008] S2: Take carboxyl-activated graphene, polyamide-polyether block copolymer, and water to prepare modified graphene B; take caprolactam, 6-aminohexanoic acid, and modified graphene B to prepare modified nylon 6; and melt spin and then stretch the modified nylon 6 to obtain modified nylon fiber.

[0009] S3: Take modified graphene A, glutaraldehyde, ethanol, propanol and sodium carbonate, stir evenly to obtain impregnation solution, put the modified nylon fiber into the impregnation solution, impregnate, take it out and dry to obtain graphene nylon spun fiber.

[0010] More preferably, the impregnation solution comprises the following raw materials: 5-15 parts modified graphene A, 1-2 parts glutaraldehyde, 600-700 parts ethanol, 50-100 parts propanol, and 1-2 parts sodium carbonate.

[0011] In a more optimized manner, the preparation of the modified graphene A includes the following steps: taking carboxylated graphene and water, ultrasonically dispersing for 1-2 hours to obtain a dispersion, adding 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, stirring for 1-2 hours to obtain carboxylated activated graphene; adding tetralysine, heating to 120-140°C and stirring for 10-14 hours, washing and drying to obtain modified graphene A.

[0012] In a more optimized manner, the modified graphene A comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 3-6 parts of carboxylated graphene, 1-2 parts of 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, and 2-4 parts of tetralysine; the concentration of the dispersion is 1 mg / mL.

[0013] In a more optimized manner, the preparation of the modified nylon 6 includes the following steps: taking carboxyl-activated graphene, polyamide-polyether block copolymer, and water, stirring evenly, heating to 120-140℃ and stirring for 10-14 hours, drying to obtain modified graphene B; taking caprolactam, 6-aminohexanoic acid, and modified graphene B, turning on the reflux condenser, introducing nitrogen gas, heating to 250-260℃ to melt the above substances, stirring for 6-7 hours to obtain modified nylon 6.

[0014] In a more optimized manner, the modified graphene B comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 10-15 parts carboxyl-activated graphene, 3-6 parts polyamide-polyether block copolymer, and 8-15 parts water; the modified nylon 6 comprises the following raw materials, by mass parts: 15-25 parts caprolactam, 0.5-1.5 parts 6-aminohexanoic acid, and 0.05-0.15 parts modified graphene B.

[0015] In a more optimized manner, the preparation of the polyamide-polyether block copolymer includes the following steps: under nitrogen protection, polyetheramine is added, the temperature is raised to 200-210°C, phosphorous acid is added, and the mixture is stirred at this temperature for 0.5-1 h. Nylon 66 salt is slowly added, and the temperature is raised to 220-230°C and reacted at this temperature for 2-4 h to obtain a polyetheramine-terminated polyamide prepolymer; adipic acid and phosphorous acid are added, the temperature is raised to 230-240°C, and the mixture is reacted for 3-4 h. The temperature is lowered to 210-220°C and a vacuum is applied. The temperature is raised to 230-240°C and reacted at this temperature for 1-2 h. The mixture is then cooled to obtain the polyamide-polyether block copolymer.

[0016] In a more optimized manner, the polyamide-polyether block copolymer comprises the following raw materials, in molar amounts: 1-2 mol polyetheramine, 0.8-1.5 mol nylon 66 salt, and 1-2 mol adipic acid; 0.8-1.5 wt% phosphorous acid is added to the polyetheramine-terminated polyamide prepolymer; and 0.3-0.8 wt% phosphorous acid is added to the polyamide-polyether block copolymer.

[0017] An optimized impregnation process is as follows: impregnation at 50~60℃ for 0.5~1h, with a bath ratio of 1:50~1:60.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0019] (1) This invention prepares carboxyl-activated graphene; firstly, carboxyl-activated graphene is reacted with tetralysine to obtain modified graphene A, and modified graphene A is combined with glutaraldehyde, ethanol, propanol and sodium carbonate to prepare an impregnation solution, which is used to impregnate and finish the modified nylon fibers obtained in subsequent steps; usually, when modifying nylon by adding graphene, there is a problem of poor graphene dispersion, so it is not advisable to add too much, and when using an impregnation solution containing graphene to modify nylon fibers, only the fiber surface can be modified, and the effect is not good; in order to achieve This invention achieves excellent performance by adding a small amount of modified graphene B to nylon while simultaneously preparing an impregnation solution containing modified graphene A to impregnate and modify the nylon fiber. This two-pronged approach modifies the nylon with graphene, resulting in high-performance graphene-modified nylon spun fibers. The addition of modified graphene A to the impregnation solution provides good strength and antibacterial properties. The added glutaraldehyde can crosslink with the amino groups in modified graphene A and the modified nylon fiber prepared in subsequent steps under the impregnation process specified in this invention, resulting in a tight bond between the two.

[0020] (2) Modified graphene B was prepared using carboxyl-activated graphene and polyamide-polyether block copolymer. Modified nylon 6 was prepared using caprolactam, 6-aminohexanoic acid, and modified graphene B. After melt spinning and subsequent drawing, modified nylon fiber was obtained. The modified nylon fiber contains amino groups, which can be crosslinked with the amino groups in the modified graphene A by glutaraldehyde, making the two tightly bonded. The modified graphene B incorporates polyamide-polyether block copolymer, which has good hydrophilicity. The polyamide-polyether block copolymer contains nylon. 66 salt, nylon 66 has good compatibility with nylon 6 and has a high elastic modulus. Therefore, this polyamide polyether block copolymer can improve the compatibility between graphene and nylon 6 (nylon), while improving its hydrophilicity and elastic modulus. When preparing modified nylon 6, controlling the amount of modified graphene B added avoids the problem of decreased mechanical properties of nylon due to poor graphene dispersion. At the same time, the combined use of modified graphene A and modified graphene B ensures that the obtained graphene nylon spun fibers have excellent properties. Detailed Implementation
