Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of core-spun yarns, and in particular to a thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Basalt fiber is a continuous fiber made from basalt (or diabase) rock through a melt-drawing process. It is widely used in daily life due to its excellent mechanical properties, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and other excellent properties. However, little research has been conducted on the thermal insulation properties of basalt fiber. If its thermal insulation properties can be improved, it will have great application prospects in building insulation.

[0003] Previous studies on the thermal insulation properties of basalt fiber have used coating methods to prepare basalt fiber into insulation boards. For example, prior art discloses a basalt fiber interior wall insulation mesh fabric, which is made by coating and drying a basalt fiber mesh fabric. The basalt fiber mesh fabric is woven from continuous basalt fiber strands twisted into basalt fiber yarns. The coating slurry used for the surface coating contains the following components: 2.8-3.5% film-forming agent, 0.3-0.5% lubricant, 0.1-0.5% antistatic agent, and 0.3-0.7% coupling agent. This technology uses a coating slurry to coat the surface of basalt fiber mesh cloth made of basalt fiber raw yarn. The prepared basalt fiber mesh cloth not only has the characteristics of light weight, high strength, heat resistance, fire resistance, corrosion resistance, crack resistance, and dimensional stability, but also can effectively avoid the overall surface tension shrinkage of the plaster layer and cracking caused by external forces. It has strong tensile strength and fracture resistance and can be used in wall renovation and interior wall insulation. However, this technology is complicated to operate and is not conducive to its promotion and use.

[0004] Core-spun yarn is made by wrapping a core yarn with a covering fiber. It combines the excellent properties of the covering fiber, such as good texture, fluffiness, and high fullness, with the strength, elongation, shape retention, drape, and wrinkle resistance of the core yarn as a skeleton yarn. Therefore, wrapping a layer of fiber with thermal insulation properties around the outside of basalt fiber will help improve its thermal insulation performance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to address the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present application provides a thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn, which uses basalt fiber as the core yarn and wraps heat-regulating and energy-storing nanofibers with a skin / core structure on it. The prepared thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn significantly improves the static air adsorption capacity of the basalt fiber, thereby improving its thermal insulation performance and extending the temperature regulation time.

[0006] To this end, the first aspect of the present application provides a thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn, wherein the core yarn in the core-spun yarn is basalt fiber, and the outer fiber is a thermal regulating energy storage nanofiber with a skin / core structure; wherein the core material in the thermal regulating energy storage nanofiber is an alkyl acrylate polymer, and the skin material is an acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer.

[0007] In the present application, the core material of the outer fiber in the core-spun yarn is a phase change material n-alkyl acrylate polymer, the phase change temperature of the n-alkyl acrylate polymer is close to the human body temperature, and it has excellent heat storage performance; after the outer fiber is wrapped on the basalt fiber, the static air adsorption capacity of the basalt fiber can be significantly improved, thereby improving its thermal insulation performance and extending the temperature regulation time. It can be well used in temperature-regulating fibers and clothing and building energy-saving structures, and has good application prospects.

Adding graphene to the n-alkyl acrylate polymer can improve the heat storage performance of the n-alkyl acrylate polymer, thereby further improving the thermal insulation performance of the obtained thermal insulation basalt core-spun yarn.

[0017] In some embodiments, the molar ratio of acrylonitrile monomer to vinylidene chloride monomer in the acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer is (50-70):(50-30).

The acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer used in this application is a commercially available product, and its molecular weight can be 5,000 to 500,000.

[0019] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing the core-spun yarn according to the first aspect of the present application, the method comprising the following steps:

[0020] S1, preparing a tetrahydrofuran solution of an n-alkyl acrylate polymer and a dimethylformamide solution of an acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer;

[0021] S2, ejecting the tetrahydrofuran solution of the n-alkyl acrylate polymer and the dimethylformamide solution of the acrylonitrile-vinylidene chloride copolymer through a coaxial needle to prepare a thermally regulated energy storage nanofiber having a skin / core structure by electrospinning;

[0022] S3, collecting the heat-regulating and energy-storing nanofibers with a skin / core structure through a metal funnel, and then winding and coating the nanofibers on basalt fibers to form heat-insulating basalt fiber core-spun yarns.

[0023] This application uses a multi-nozzle coaxial electrospinning method to produce a core-spun basalt fiber yarn. Basalt fiber is used as the core yarn and coated with a heat-regulating and energy-storing nanofiber with a skin / core structure and a phase change material as the core. This method produces a thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn. The preparation method is simple and low-cost. The resulting thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn has a down-like fiber structure and strong thermal insulation capabilities. The coated phase change material, an n-alkyl acrylate polymer, can adjust the phase transition temperature and significantly improve the basalt fiber's still air adsorption capacity, resulting in excellent thermal insulation properties and greater ease of use.

[0029] In this application, the structure and thermal energy storage performance of the obtained skin / core structured thermal energy storage nanofibers are not only related to the composition of the skin and core materials, but also to the ejection rate of the skin material solution and the core material solution (i.e., the feed rate or propulsion rate) and the electrospinning voltage. Through research, the inventors of this application found that by controlling the ejection rate of the skin material solution and the core material solution and the electrospinning voltage within the above range, it helps to further improve the thermal energy storage performance of the obtained skin / core structured thermal energy storage nanofibers.

[0030] In the present application, when the core material solution and the skin material solution are coaxially sprayed, the inclination angle of the coaxial needle can be 45-60°, and the distance between the spinneret of the coaxial needle and the receiver (such as a metal funnel) can be 15-20 cm.

[0032] The present application can make the obtained thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn have better structural strength, elasticity, flexibility and hand feel characteristics by controlling the twisting speed and yarn collection speed during the winding and covering process.

[0033] The third aspect of the present application provides a use of the core-spun yarn described in the first aspect of the present application or the core-spun yarn prepared by the method described in the second aspect in the preparation of thermal insulation materials.

[0034] The thermal insulation basalt core-spun yarn in this application has excellent still air adsorption capacity, which makes its thermal insulation performance better and prolongs the temperature regulation time. Therefore, it can be well used in the preparation of thermal insulation materials, such as in temperature-regulating fibers and thermal insulation clothing and energy-saving building structures, and has good application prospects.

[0035] The beneficial technical effects of this application are as follows: the core material of the outer covering fiber in the thermal insulation basalt core-spun yarn provided in this application is a phase change material, an n-alkyl acrylate polymer, whose phase transition temperature is close to human body temperature and is adjustable, and has excellent heat storage performance; the thermal insulation basalt core-spun yarn produced by wrapping the outer covering fiber around basalt fiber has excellent still air adsorption capacity, better thermal insulation performance, and extended temperature regulation time.

[0061] Example 9: Preparation of thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn

[0069] Test Example 1: Thermal Insulation Performance Test

[0070] The thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarns prepared in Examples 1-12 and the comparative basalt fibers of the same length were measured and woven into rectangular strips of about 10mm*5mm in size. The woven strips were placed in a 60°C blast oven for 2 minutes and then taken out. The thermal performance of the strips at different times was then recorded using an infrared thermal imager. The results were expressed using the temperatures of the strips after being placed for different times. The results are shown in Table 1. Among them, the infrared response digital photos of the comparative strips made of comparative basalt fibers, the strips made of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn prepared in Example 2, and the strips made of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn prepared in Example 5 at different times are shown in Table 1. Figure 5 shown.

[0071] Table 1: Temperature of the cloth strips after different periods of time

[0072]

[0073]

[0074] As can be seen from Table 1, compared with the thermal insulation performance of the cloth strips prepared from the comparative basalt fibers, the thermal insulation performance of the cloth strips prepared from the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarns prepared in Examples 1-12 of the present application is significantly improved.

[0075] From the test results of Examples 1-7 of the present application, it can be seen that when preparing thermal-regulating energy-storage nanofibers with a skin / core structure, the composition of the core material will have a significant effect on the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn finally obtained. Compared with the phase-changing material poly(n-hexadecyl acrylate), the use of poly(n-tetradecyl acrylate-n-hexadecyl acrylate) (the molar ratio of TDA monomer to HDA ​​monomer is 1:1) as the core material can make the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn better; at the same time, when graphene is added to poly(n-tetradecyl acrylate-n-hexadecyl acrylate), due to the high thermal conductivity of graphene, the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn can have better heat transfer performance, which helps to further improve the thermal insulation performance of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn.

[0076] The test results of Examples 1 and 8-12 of the present application show that when preparing thermally regulated energy-storing nanofibers with a skin / core structure, the preparation of the core solution and the spraying rates of the core and skin solutions also affect the thermal insulation properties of the resulting thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn. When the content of n-alkyl acrylate polymer in the core solution is controlled at 50 wt%, the spraying rates of the core and skin solutions are controlled at 0.01 mL / h and 0.36 mL / h, respectively, and the electrospinning voltage is controlled at 20 kV, the thermal insulation properties of the thermal insulation basalt fiber core-spun yarn can be improved.
