Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of lyocell fiber technology, and in particular to a lyocell fiber, its preparation method, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Lyocell fiber combines the excellent properties of both natural and synthetic fibers. As a green fiber, its raw material is the inexhaustible cellulose found in nature. The production process involves no chemical reactions and uses non-toxic solvents, thus attracting significant attention from the polymer materials industry both domestically and internationally in recent years. Typically, lyocell fiber is used in textiles and clothing fabrics. Garments made from it not only have a natural luster, smooth feel, high strength, and minimal shrinkage, but also excellent moisture permeability, breathability, and perspiration wicking properties. However, because lyocell fiber has poorer compression resilience and crimp recovery compared to synthetic fiber fillers, it suffers from rebound failure after repeated compressions. Therefore, the industry currently rarely uses lyocell fiber as a filler in lyocell products. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a lyocell fiber, its preparation method, and its application to address the above-mentioned problems. This preparation method can obtain lyocell fibers with a three-dimensional helical crimp structure, which have excellent crimp, high compression resilience, and crimp recovery properties, and can be used as a filling material in home textile products.
[0004] A method for preparing lyocell fiber includes the following steps:
[0005] The first spinning solution is prepared by mixing the first pulp, polyacrylamide, and an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide.
[0006] The second pulp is mixed with an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide to prepare a second spinning solution, wherein the degree of polymerization of the first pulp is greater than that of the second pulp, and the difference is ≥100.
[0007] The first spinning solution and the second spinning solution are spun to obtain a parallel solution flow. The side of the parallel solution flow containing the first spinning solution is cooled and shaped by blowing air. After solidification bath molding and drying treatment, the first spinning solution forms a first fiber and the second spinning solution forms a second fiber, resulting in lyocell fiber with the first and second fibers distributed side by side. The drying temperature is greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamide.
[0008] In one embodiment, the degree of polymerization of the first pulp is 600 to 1200.
[0009] In one embodiment, the degree of polymerization of the second pulp is 400 to 600.
[0010] In one embodiment, the polyacrylamide has a molecular weight of 200,000 to 20,000,000.
[0011] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of each component in the first spinning solution is: 9% to 13% first pulp, 1% to 10% polyacrylamide, 74% to 78% N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, and 9% to 13% water.
[0012] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of each component in the second spinning solution is: 9% to 13% of first pulp, 74% to 78% of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide, and 9% to 13% of water.
[0013] In one embodiment, the area ratio of the first spinning solution to the second spinning solution in the cross-section of the parallel solution flow is 2:3 to 3:2.
[0014] In one embodiment, the airflow speed for the blowing cooling and shaping is 35 m / min to 45 m / min, the temperature is 10°C to 20°C, and the humidity is 70% to 80%.
[0015] Lyocell fibers prepared by the method described above have a three-dimensional helical crimp structure, wherein a first fiber and a second fiber are arranged side by side, and the first fiber is located inside the three-dimensional helical crimp structure of the lyocell fiber.
[0016] In one embodiment, the crimp of the lyocell fiber is 15% to 23%.
[0017] In one embodiment, the elastic recovery rate of the lyocell fiber is ≥70%.
[0018] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the lyocell fiber has an area ratio of 2:3 to 3:2 for the first fiber to the second fiber.
[0019] The application of lyocell fiber as a filling material in home textile products, as described above.
[0020] In the method for preparing lyocell fiber described in this invention, a first spinning solution is prepared using a high-polymerization-degree pulp, polyacrylamide, and an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO). A second spinning solution is prepared using a low-polymerization-degree pulp and an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO). The two spinning solutions with different components are then spun to obtain a parallel solution stream. Simultaneously, the side of the parallel solution stream containing the first spinning solution is cooled and shaped by blowing air, causing the molecular chains of polyacrylamide and the first pulp to be oriented along the fiber axis. In a rapid-setting state, the polyacrylamide and cellulose molecules in the first pulp are quickly fixed in the fiber. Under subsequent drying conditions, on the one hand, the straightened polyacrylamide and cellulose molecules in the first pulp relax and return to their natural curled state, pulling the two ends of the molecular chain segments towards the middle; on the other hand, the first pulp has a higher degree of polymerization than the second pulp, and its cellulose has longer molecular chains, resulting in a better shrinkage effect when curling. This macroscopically causes the side of the lyocell fiber where the first fiber is located to shrink axially, thus obtaining lyocell fiber with a three-dimensional helical curled shape.
[0021] Therefore, the lyocell fiber obtained by this invention has excellent crimp, compression resilience and crimp recovery, as well as good dimensional stability, toughness and elasticity and moisture absorption and perspiration wicking properties. When used as filling material for bedding such as quilts and pillows, it can greatly improve the comfort of consumers. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, it will be described in more detail below. However, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments or examples described herein. Rather, these embodiments or examples are provided to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and complete.
[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the specification of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments or examples only and is not intended to limit the invention. The optional scope of the term "and / or" as used herein includes any one of two or more of the related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items, including any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items.
[0029] This invention provides a method for preparing lyocell fibers, characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0030] S1, mix the first pulp, polyacrylamide and an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide to prepare the first spinning solution;
[0031] S2, the second pulp is mixed with an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide to prepare a second spinning solution, wherein the degree of polymerization of the first pulp is greater than that of the second pulp, and the difference is ≥100;
[0032] S3, the first spinning solution and the second spinning solution are spun to obtain a parallel solution flow, and the side of the parallel solution flow containing the first spinning solution is cooled and shaped by blowing air. After solidification bath molding and drying treatment, the first spinning solution forms a first fiber and the second spinning solution forms a second fiber, resulting in lyocell fiber with the first fiber and the second fiber distributed in parallel. The drying temperature is greater than or equal to the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamide.
[0033] In steps S1 and S2, two spinning solutions are prepared using two types of pulp with a degree of polymerization difference ≥100. Polyacrylamide is added to the spinning solution prepared with the pulp of higher degree of polymerization. Since the two spinning solutions have different components, the parallel solution flows have two different properties. The first pulp has a higher degree of polymerization than the second pulp, and its cellulose molecular chains are longer. At a certain temperature, the first pulp exhibits better curling effect than the second pulp. Furthermore, the first pulp has a higher dynamic viscosity, and the addition of high-viscosity polyacrylamide has a smaller impact on its overall viscosity, thus giving the spinning solution system better stability.
[0034] Preferably, the degree of polymerization of the first pulp is 600 to 1200, and / or the degree of polymerization of the second pulp is 400 to 600, which can effectively ensure the crimp, dimensional stability and crimp resilience of lyocell fibers.
[0035] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of each component in the first spinning solution is: 9% to 13% first pulp, 1% to 10% polyacrylamide, 74% to 78% N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), and 9% to 13% water.
[0036] In one embodiment, the mass fraction of each component in the second spinning solution is: 9% to 13% of first pulp, 74% to 78% of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO), and 9% to 13% of water.
[0037] The aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) used in the first and second spinning solutions is a commonly used solvent in the production process of cellulose fibers, and has the advantages of being non-toxic and recyclable.
[0038] In one embodiment, the polyacrylamide has a molecular weight of 200,000 to 20,000,000 and has a water-soluble polyacrylamide macromolecule, which can achieve better deorientation effect at a specific temperature.
[0039] Preferably, the polyacrylamide has a molecular weight of 200,000 to 10,000,000, which not only helps to improve the curling effect of polyacrylamide, but also ensures the water solubility of polyacrylamide and improves its dissolution effect in the first spinning solution.
[0040] It should be noted that the order of preparation of steps S1 and S2 is not affected. It is feasible to prepare step S1 first and then step S2, or to prepare step S2 first and then step S1, or to prepare steps S1 and S2 simultaneously.
[0041] In step S3, two different components of spinning solution are spun to obtain a parallel solution stream. By blowing air to cool and fix the side of the parallel solution stream containing high-polymerization pulp and polyacrylamide, the axially oriented molecular chains of pulp cellulose and polyacrylamide can be quickly fixed in the fiber. At the same time, the side of the parallel solution stream containing low-polymerization pulp is naturally cooled without blowing air. Before slowly dropping to the glass transition temperature of low-polymerization pulp, some pulp cellulose molecular chains undergo spontaneous deorientation and are fixed in a coiled state in the macroscopically straight fiber.
[0042] Furthermore, during the drying process, such as Figure 1As shown, on the one hand, since the drying temperature exceeds the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamide, the molecular chains of the straightened and oriented polyacrylamide 101 and the cellulose in the first pulp relax and return to their natural curled state. The disoriented polyacrylamide chains 102 pull the two ends of the molecular chain segments to shrink towards the middle. At the same time, based on the difference in the degree of polymerization between the first pulp and the second pulp, lyocell fiber achieves excellent curling and shrinkage effect.
[0043] On the other hand, during the natural cooling process of the second pulp, some of the pulp cellulose molecular chains have already curled up and been fixed in the macroscopically straightened fibers, so they cannot be further curled up during the drying process, which is conducive to further increasing the shrinkage difference on both sides of the lyocell fiber.
[0044] Therefore, on a macroscopic level, the side containing the first fiber in the lyocell fiber experiences axial shrinkage, and the side containing the second fiber is passively bent due to the shrinkage of the first fiber, thus resulting in a lyocell fiber exhibiting a three-dimensional helical crimp shape.
[0045] Furthermore, the preparation method provided by this invention is an improvement on the conventional lyocell fiber production process, which has stable production process and low production cost. At the same time, the air blowing cooling and shaping treatment used in this invention has the advantages of high safety and simple operation. Therefore, the preparation method of lyocell fiber provided by this invention is conducive to further scale-up production.
[0046] In one embodiment, after the solidification bath and before the drying process, the preparation method further includes bundling, stretching, washing, cutting and refining processes. All of the above processes adopt existing processing methods, and the present invention does not limit them. For example, bundling can be performed using conventional bundling devices to gather parallel fibers into large strands of a certain linear density under uniform tension; drawing can be performed by passing the bundled parallel fibers, whose microstructure is not yet fully fixed, through the gaps between two or three sets of guide rollers or guide discs with different rotation speeds. The speed difference between the two guide rollers or guide discs causes the parallel fibers to elongate and the molecular chains of the crimped and disordered macromolecules to align and extend axially to achieve ordering, increase the contact points between macromolecules, and improve tensile strength; washing can be performed by passing the parallel fibers through one or two consecutively arranged washing tanks to remove the solution and organic and inorganic impurities adhering to the surface of the parallel fibers, or by spraying a cleaning solution onto the moving parallel fibers until the filaments are clean; cutting can be performed by wet cutting, dry cutting, or drawing cutting; refining can be performed by chemical refining methods or physical refining methods to remove impurities, dirt, and residual sizing from the parallel fibers.
[0047] Furthermore, the present invention does not limit the apparatus used for spinning in step S3; any apparatus capable of ejecting parallel flow of solution is acceptable.
[0048] In one embodiment, the area ratio of the first spinning solution to the second spinning solution in the cross-section of the parallel solution flow is 2:3 to 3:2.
[0049] Preferably, in the cross-section of the parallel solution flow, the area ratio of the first spinning solution to the second spinning solution is 1:1, and the first spinning solution and the second spinning solution are equally distributed on the left and right sides, so that the resulting lyocell fiber has two different properties on both sides, thereby generating a shrinkage difference during the drying process. The lyocell fiber can curl towards the side where the first fiber is located. The lyocell fiber produced by the parallel solution flow with this area ratio has the best curlability.
[0050] In one embodiment, the air velocity for the blowing cooling and shaping is 35 m / min to 45 m / min, the temperature is 10°C to 20°C, and the humidity is 70% to 80%. At this time, the first spinning solution can be rapidly cooled, and the molecular chains of polyacrylamide and first pulp cellulose in the first spinning solution can be rapidly shaped in a straightened state under the dual action of solution flow stretching and blowing cooling and shaping.
[0051] It should be noted that the airflow direction in the blowing cooling and shaping process can be directly facing the first spinning solution and perpendicular to the axis of the parallel solution flow, or it can be facing the first spinning solution and at a certain angle to the axis of the parallel solution flow. This invention does not limit this.
[0052] Polyacrylamide of different molecular weights has different glass transition temperatures. When the drying temperature is 150℃~170℃, the glass transition temperature of polyacrylamide can generally be reached, so that the polyacrylamide molecular chains can be deoriented and restored to their natural curled state, and the lyocell fiber can be bent on one side. At the same time, it can also avoid the problem of discoloration of lyocell fiber caused by excessive temperature.
[0053] The present invention also provides a lyocell fiber prepared by the method described above, wherein the lyocell fiber has a three-dimensional helical crimp structure and the lyocell fiber includes a first fiber and a second fiber arranged in parallel, wherein the first fiber is located inside the three-dimensional helical crimp structure of the lyocell fiber.
[0054] The lyocell fiber of the present invention has a uniform, permanent three-dimensional helical crimp structure. The lyocell fiber has a fluffy feel, excellent resilience, and also possesses the excellent moisture-wicking properties of cellulose fiber. Moreover, the tensile strength of the lyocell fiber can reach 3.6 cN / dtex to 4.4 cN / dtex, and the elongation at break is about 10% to 14%, exhibiting excellent mechanical properties.
[0055] In one embodiment, the crimp of the lyocell fiber is 15% to 23%.
[0056] In one embodiment, the elastic recovery rate of the lyocell fiber is ≥70%.
[0057] In one embodiment, the cross-section of the lyocell fiber has an area ratio of 2:3 to 3:2 between the first fiber and the second fiber.
[0058] Preferably, in the cross-section of the lyocell fiber, the area ratio of the first fiber to the second fiber is 1:1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the first fiber 10 and the second fiber 20 are equally distributed on both sides of the lyocell fiber.
[0059] The application of lyocell fiber as a filling material in home textile products, as described above.
[0060] When the lyocell fiber of the present invention is used as a filling material for textiles that come into contact with the human body, it has excellent resilience and can quickly absorb and expel sweat produced by the human body, which can greatly improve the comfort of consumers during use.
