In the preparation process, an antibacterial agent is added to give it good antibacterial properties.

[0004] Chinese patent CN102845842A: discloses a multi-functional underwear fabric, which consists of a surface layer and an inner layer. The surface layer fabric is a multi-component fiber blended fabric, which is a blend of nano-silver polyester, modal fiber and spandex. The inner layer fabric uses milk protein fiber, and the surface layer and the inner layer of the fabric are woven using a water jet loom.

[0005] Chinese patent CN102429326A: discloses an elastic healthy underwear fabric, including: the fabric is interwoven by warp yarn and weft yarn, the warp yarn includes bamboo charcoal fiber, polyester fiber, spandex filament, the spandex filament is a spandex composite yarn composed of 3 single yarns, and the ratio of the bamboo charcoal fiber, polyester fiber, and spandex filament is 15-35:25-55:30-40.

[0006] However, the underwear fabrics prepared by the patent and the prior art have the disadvantages of low tensile elastic recovery rate, poor moisture absorption and perspiration discharge, poor antibacterial property, and unsatisfactory wearing comfort.

[0007] To this end, the method proposes a process for producing mint fiber antibacterial knitted underwear fabrics. Summary of the invention

[0008] The technical task of the present invention is to address the above shortcomings and provide a process for producing mint fiber antibacterial knitted underwear fabric. Modal and mint fiber are knitted by weft plain knitting to obtain single-sided weft plain knitted fabric; and then the mint fiber antibacterial knitted underwear fabric is obtained through pretreatment, dyeing, soaping, shaping and curling.

[0009] The technical solution of the present invention is achieved in this way:

[0010] A process for producing mint fiber antibacterial knitted underwear fabric, the operating steps of which are as follows:

[0011] S1: 60-70 parts of modal and 20-30 parts of mint fiber are fed into a single-sided circular knitting machine for weft plain knitting to obtain a single-sided weft plain knitted fabric;

[0012] S2: put 30-40 parts of the single-sided plain knitted fabric treated with S1 into 300-400 parts of deionized water, add 1-5 parts of sodium carbonate, 1-5 parts of scouring agent, 1-5 parts of detergent, and 1-5 parts of penetrant, heat to 90-98°C, soak for 40-60 minutes, cool to 40-50°C, add 0.1-1 parts of glacial acetic acid, continue to soak for 5-10 minutes, fish out, and dry;

[0013] S3: put 30-40 parts of the single-sided plain knitted fabric treated with S2 into 300-400 parts of deionized water, add 0.05-0.8 parts of ficin CAS No.: 9001-33-6, heat to 50-60°C, add 15-20 parts of sodium carbonate, 70-90 parts of sodium sulfate, and 1-5 parts of dye, soak for 40-60 minutes, remove and dry;

[0014] S4: plasma treatment of the single-jersey plain knit fabric treated with S3;

[0015] S5: Add 1-3 parts of soaping agent to 30-40 parts of single-sided plain knitted fabric treated with S4, heat to 85-95°C, soap for 5-10 minutes, cool to 40-50°C, wash with water for 10-20 minutes, remove and dry;

[0016] S6: The single-sided plain weft knitted fabric is fed into a setting machine, set at 150-160° C. for 40-60 seconds, cooled to room temperature, and rolled to obtain a mint fiber antibacterial knitted underwear fabric.

[0017] Wherein, the scouring agent is one of fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, lauryl alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate, secondary alkyl sodium sulfate, alkyl polysaccharide, fatty acid methyl ester sulfonate, and tea saponin.

[0018] Wherein, the cleaning agent is one of cleaning agent AR-815, cleaning agent AR-812 and cleaning agent 6501.

[0019] Wherein, the penetrant is one of penetrant JFC, J penetrant FC-1, penetrant JFC-2 and penetrant JFC-E.

[0020] Wherein, the soaping agent is Albatex AD, Albatex DS, Albatex AB-45, Albatex AB-55.

[0021] The plasma treatment parameters are as follows: the power frequency is set to 13.56 MHz radio frequency, the power range is 100-150 watts, the operating pressure is 100-150 mTorr, and the treatment time is 10-30 minutes.

[0022] The mixed gas for plasma treatment has a volume ratio of ammonia to isopentenyl flavonoid vapor of 1:0.03-0.07 and a flow rate of 30-50 ml / min.

[0023] Reaction mechanism

[0024] 1. Plasma treatment introduces amino groups: Ammonia is used as part of the plasma treatment to introduce amino groups onto the fabric surface. These amino groups provide the necessary active sites for subsequent chemical addition reactions.

[0025] 2. Thiol-olefin addition reaction: The thiol (-SH) provided by ficin and isopentenyl flavonoids (an olefin-containing compound) undergo an addition reaction under the catalytic action of the amino group. This reaction involves opening the C=C bond of isopentenyl flavonoids and reacting with the thiol in ficin to form a sulfhydryl-alkane bond.

[0026] 3. Formation of protein-flavonoid adducts: Through the above reaction, the surface of the fabric is modified with a complex of protein and flavonoids, which not only changes the surface properties of the fabric, but also enhances its antibacterial properties.

[0027] 4. Improvement of fabric functionality: The introduction of this protein-flavonoid adduct improves its antibacterial properties and may enhance its antioxidant properties.

[0028] Technical Effects

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0030] 1. Destroy bacterial cell membrane: Protein-flavonoid adducts can interact with bacterial cell membranes, destroy their structural integrity, and lead to bacterial death.

[0031] 2. Inhibit the activity of enzymes related to bacterial growth: Flavonoids have the ability to inhibit enzymes necessary for the growth of certain bacteria, so this fabric can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.

[0032] 3. Provide lasting protection: Through the combination of physical and chemical methods, the antibacterial layer formed by protein-flavonoid adducts on the surface of the fabric is not easily washed off, providing long-term antibacterial protection.

[0033] 4. Enhance the functionality of fabrics: In addition to antibacterial properties, the introduction of this protein-flavonoid adduct improves other functional properties of fabrics, including better comfort and durability. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
