Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of fiber membrane material preparation, and particularly relates to a gradient composite fiber membrane of polyvinylidene fluoride and polymethyl methacrylate and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With global warming, abnormally high temperatures occur frequently, and high-temperature heat injury becomes a major threat to people's activities in hot weather. In summer, due to strong solar radiation and heat island effect, the temperature of buildings and outer fabrics increases significantly, which not only reduces the thermal comfort of the human body, but also causes fatal danger when the ambient temperature exceeds 37.5℃-38.3℃. With the increase of urbanization rate, the natural environment is gradually replaced by highly artificial reinforced concrete buildings. The dense buildings in the city cause the temperature to rise, which further intensifies the ground object radiation, forming the "urban heat island effect" that the temperature in the city is significantly higher than that in the suburbs. The heat gathered by the buildings is conducted to the indoor through the cement outer wall, and the human body increases the energy consumption of the air conditioning system in order to maintain the thermal comfort at 26℃ in the room. The active cooling equipment such as air conditioner accounts for 40% of the building electricity consumption, 15% of the global electricity, and emits about 10% of the greenhouse gases. Radiative cooling utilizes the "atmospheric window" of 8-13mm to dissipate heat to the cold (about 3K) outer space, while highly reflecting the sunlight of 0.3-2.5mm, realizing the spontaneous cooling of the object surface under the direct sunlight, zero energy consumption and zero pollution.

[0003] Fiber membrane material is a kind of functional material with porous structure, which has the characteristics of comfortable softness and air permeability. On the one hand, its large number of scattering units can carry out strong Mie scattering with sunlight, realizing high reflectivity, and on the other hand, its porous structure can reduce the absorption of non-radiative heat effects such as heat conduction and heat convection of external environment. Human skin is a good infrared emitter, and the emission wavelength basically overlaps with the "atmospheric window" band. In the non-motion state, the heat dissipated by the skin through the radiation path accounts for about 60% of the total heat dissipation of the human body. Clothing plays a crucial role in adjusting the personal thermal comfort under different environmental conditions, however, the design of traditional textiles is mostly based on heat conduction and heat convection, which inevitably blocks the transmission of human body heat radiation, reducing the skin heat dissipation effect. Therefore, it is of great value and practical significance to develop a new type of radiative cooling textile which is environmentally friendly and low in energy consumption, adjusts the spectrum of the inner side fabric, realizes wide spectrum absorption, realizes high-efficiency radiative cooling effect on the outer side, and makes the internal heat conduct to the outside, so that people can have a more comfortable physical and mental feeling when working indoors and outdoors in hot summer.

[0036] Step 4: The polyvinylidene fluoride fiber membrane was removed from the nylon mesh and dried in a vacuum oven at 60 °C for 12 h to obtain a single-component air-jet polyvinylidene fluoride fiber membrane.

[0037] Comparative Example 2

[0038] Prepared according to the preparation method of Comparative Example 1, except that the polyvinylidene fluoride was replaced by polymethyl methacrylate to obtain Comparative Example 2.

[0039] Comparative Examples 3, 4

[0040] Prepared according to the preparation method of Comparative Example 1, except that the mass fraction of polymethyl methacrylate was 10% and 20%, respectively, to obtain Comparative Examples 3 and 4.

[0041] Comparative Examples 5, 6

[0042] Prepared according to the preparation method of Comparative Examples 3 and 4, except that the mass fraction of polyvinylidene fluoride was 10% and 20%, respectively, to obtain Comparative Examples 5 and 6.

[0043] Figure 1 Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 are shown, because the mass fraction of polyvinylidene fluoride increases from 10% to 20% from left to right, the fiber diameter increases significantly, and the fiber morphology is best when the mass fraction is 15%.

[0044] Figure 2 Comparative Examples 1, 3, and 4 are shown, because the mass fraction of polyvinylidene fluoride increases from 10% to 20% from left to right, the fiber diameter increases significantly, and the fiber morphology is best when the mass fraction is 15%.

[0045] Figure 3 A digital camera image of the large-scale preparation sample of Example 1 is shown. Reliable continuous large-scale preparation can be achieved by double-component air-jet.

[0046] Figure 4 The mechanical load digital camera image of the sample of Example 1 is shown. The composite fiber membrane has excellent mechanical strength by combining the two components of the gas spray and the characteristics of the two polymers.

[0047] Figure 5 The tensile stress-strain curves of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the mechanical strength of pure polymethyl methacrylate, and the tensile modulus of the composite gradient fiber membrane of Example 1 are shown. The tensile modulus of Example 1 is significantly improved compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2.

[0048] Figure 6 The scanning electron microscope image of the fiber diameter gradient change of the sample of Example 1 is shown. It can be found that the fiber diameter changes significantly with different components, forming a continuous gradient change, and achieving a gradient change of the scattering unit inside the composite fiber membrane, which is beneficial to more effective multi-stage scattering.

[0049] Figure 7 The reflectivity curves of Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2, and Example 1 are shown. Compared with the uniform fiber structure of the single-component fiber membrane of Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the double-component gradient composite fiber membrane of Example 1 has higher reflectivity, significantly reducing the absorption of sunlight, and the total reflectivity is as high as 98.3%.

[0050] Figure 8 The emissivity curve of Example 1 is shown. The double-component structure does not affect the emissivity of the polyvinylidene fluoride on the outside of the fiber membrane, which still has an emissivity as high as 93%, ensuring its high-efficiency radiation cooling performance.

[0051] Figure 9 The radiation cooling performance comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 is shown. It can be clearly seen that the cooling effect of Example 1 is 1-2℃ lower than that of Comparative Example 1. Because Example 1 considers the internal heat radiation transfer compared to Comparative Example 1, the double-component gradient structure introduces poly-methyl methacrylate with wide-spectrum absorption on the inside, increasing the absorption of internal heat radiation, and maintaining a high-efficiency atmospheric transparent window emission on the outside.

[0052] Figure 10 The radiation cooling performance test graph of Example 1 is shown. In the actual hot summer environment from 10:00 am to 14:00 pm, a significant cooling effect can be observed. The test environment covered with the gradient composite membrane of poly-methyl methacrylate and polyvinylidene fluoride is 4-5℃ lower than the outside natural environment.
