Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polymer material preparation, and particularly relates to a solvent-resistant, degradable, super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of science and technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, the demand for environmentally friendly and high-performance fabric materials is growing. Polylactic acid, as a completely biodegradable polymer material, has broad application prospects. However, conventional polylactic acid fabrics are insufficient in solvent resistance and hydrophobicity, and are difficult to meet the needs of specific fields. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a solvent-resistant, super-hydrophobic and environmentally friendly polylactic acid fabric.

[0003] Polylactic acid (PLA) is an aliphatic polymer compound. It is fermented from bio-based materials such as plant starch or straw to form lactic acid, which is then chemically synthesized and purified to obtain lactide, which is then catalytically polymerized to generate PLA. It can be degraded to generate CO by landfill or bioaccumulation. 2 With H 2 O, does not cause pollution to the environment. Polydivinylbenzene (PDVB) is a new type of porous organic material, which not only has micro / nano structure and low free energy, but also has low preparation cost and no secondary pollution.

[0004] Single polylactic acid fibers generally have poor thermal stability, poor hydrolysis resistance, and poor mechanical properties. When PLLA and PDLA are melt-blended in a certain ratio, the molecular chain structures of PLLA and PDLA complement each other to form a compact stereocrystalline structure (SC), forming sc-PLA under certain temperature conditions. However, the stereocrystalline structure of sc-PLA has good water resistance, solvent resistance, and high temperature resistance, which broadens the application field of polylactic acid fabrics and can be used to produce various textiles, such as clothing, household goods, and industrial products.

[0005] Patent CN109234834A discloses an electrospun polylactic acid fabric prepared from super-hydrophobic left-handed polylactic acid modified fibers. Although it has certain super-hydrophobic properties, the single homogeneous crystals result in low solvent resistance and few reuse times. Regarding the hydrophobic modification of the fabric surface, a hydrophobic finishing method for the fabric surface is often used to greatly improve the super-hydrophobic properties of the fabric. Patent CN 118166543 A discloses a super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fiber precursor, which is prepared by nano-structuring the polylactic acid fiber using a vapor deposition method and then modifying it using a fluorine compound or a silicon compound. Although the polylactic acid fiber has super-hydrophobic properties, the surface coating is difficult to degrade, which causes environmental pollution to a certain extent. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the above prior art, the object of the present invention is to provide a solvent-resistant, degradable super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric and a preparation method thereof. The polylactic acid fabric has a high water contact angle, excellent solvent resistance and high temperature resistance, and is also a completely biodegradable, environmentally friendly fabric, and has a simple production process, which is conducive to industrial production.

[0007] The first aspect of the present invention provides a method for preparing a solvent-resistant, degradable, super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. The sc-PLA fibers prepared from the PLLA / PDLA mixed particles were woven to obtain sc-PLA fabrics;

[0009] S2. spraying the sc-PLA fabric with a polydivinylbenzene solution and then subjecting the fabric to infrared irradiation to cause a cross-linking reaction between the sc-PLA fabric and the polydivinylbenzene in the polydivinylbenzene solution, and drying the fabric to obtain the degradable super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric.

[0010] Furthermore, in the PLLA / PDLA mixed particles, the mass ratio of PLLA particles to PDLA particles is 1:1.

[0011] Furthermore, in step S1, the method for preparing the sc-PLA fiber comprises the following steps:

[0012] S11. melt spinning the PLLA / PDLA mixed particles to obtain sc-PLA primary fibers;

[0013] S12. After the sc-PLA nascent fibers are stretched in a hot water bath, heat treatment is performed for 10-30 minutes to obtain sc-PLA fibers. The heat treatment induces stereocrystallization and improves temperature resistance so that the fibers can be properly treated with infrared irradiation later.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, the weaving is specifically: using a plain weave structure to weave into a sc-PLA fabric.

[0015] Furthermore, the melt spinning is specifically as follows: PLLA / PDLA mixed particles are extruded by a twin-screw extruder, the spinning temperature is 220° C., and the spinning speed is 400-600 r / min.

[0016] Furthermore, the temperature of the hot water bath is 60° C., and the total stretching multiple of the stretching is 3 times.

[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the heat treatment is 190-205°C.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S2, the concentration of the polydivinylbenzene solution is 1wt%-5wt%.

[0019] Furthermore, in step S2, the infrared irradiation treatment time is 10-30 minutes.

[0020] Furthermore, the drying temperature is 40° C. and the drying time is 20 min.

[0021] The second aspect of the present invention provides a solvent-resistant, degradable, super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric prepared by the above-mentioned preparation method.

[0022] Furthermore, the diameter of the sc-PLA fiber of the solvent-resistant, degradable and super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric is 0.3-0.6 mm, and the thickness of the solvent-resistant, degradable and super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric is 3-5 mm.

[0023] Furthermore, the solvent-resistant, degradable, super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric has a water contact angle of 155.3°-162.7°, a strength of 264MPa-300MPa, is insoluble in dichloromethane, and after 200 washes, the water contact angle of the super-hydrophobic fabric remains at 153.7°-160.9°.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention first prepares sc-PLA fibers, and stereocrystallization can improve the solvent resistance and high temperature resistance of polylactic acid fabrics, and then processes them into woven fabrics, and then sprays a hydrophobic PDVB solution for infrared heat treatment to form solvent-resistant super-hydrophobic sc-PLA fabrics, thereby improving the application field of polylactic acid fabrics, and the sc-PLA fabrics have super-hydrophobic / degradable properties.

[0025] The solvent-resistant and high-temperature-resistant super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric of the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) The super-hydrophobic polylactic acid fabric prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of high water contact angle (155.3°-162.7°), which can effectively prevent water penetration, and the polylactic acid fabric has excellent solvent resistance and high temperature resistance. In addition, the fabric is a completely biodegradable environmentally friendly material, has no pollution to the environment, and meets the requirements of sustainable development.

[0027] (2) The preparation process is simple and low-cost. After repeated use for 200 times, the water contact angle still maintains the superhydrophobic property of 153.7°-160.9°, which realizes the superhydrophobicity and solvent resistance of polylactic acid fabric, and provides new ideas and methods for the development of environmentally friendly fabrics.
