Abstract

The present invention discloses an antibacterial sleep-aiding latex pillow and a preparation method thereof, relating to the field of latex technology. The present invention first preliminarily modifies silica with 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde, sodium m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonate, and solid phosgene to achieve antibacterial and anti-dust effects. Then, natural silk fibroin and collagen are used for further modification to improve performance while enabling the modified silica to form a particle layer on the surface of natural latex. The modified silica is used as a nucleating agent, and through supercritical foaming and vulcanization, the two are unblocked and then cross-linked to form an interpenetrating network structure, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the latex pillow. After foaming, the present invention further incorporates aromatic particles, utilizes graphene aerogel microspheres to fix the load of a sleep-aiding essential oil composition, and encapsulates the composition with cyclodextrin, so that the aromatic particles release the essential oil only when in use.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of latex, and particularly to an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Regarding the production process of latex foaming materials or latex pillow cores, the current main process is to chemically foam natural latex. However, the odor contained in the chemical foaming agent affects the visual experience of using the latex pillow, and the natural latex after chemical foaming is prone to deformation and has insufficient support. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to hygienic, safe and healthy products, and functional latex products are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Due to the accelerating pace of life and relatively high life pressure nowadays, the number of people with poor sleep quality or even insomnia throughout the night is gradually increasing. Therefore, sleep - aiding pillows have emerged.

[0003] In addition, the pillow will show yellowish marks after being used for a long time. The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: dust is likely to accumulate on the surface of the pillow, and the humidity, temperature and sealing degree of the pillow are all conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi. Ordinary latex pillows do not have antibacterial and anti - dust - sticking effects, and are extremely prone to yellowing during use. And long - term cleaning of the latex pillow will cause damage to the internal structure, shortening its service life and use effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow and a preparation method thereof to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow, comprising natural latex, modified silica, aromatic particles, vulcanizing agent, and gelling agent.

[0006] Further, the modified silica is composed of 4 - trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde, silica, sodium m - phenylenediamine - 4 - sulfonate, triphosgene, and a protein mixture; the protein mixture is natural silk fibroin and collagen.

[0007] Further, the aromatic particles are obtained by spraying an essential oil composition on graphene aerogel microcapsules and then encapsulating with cyclodextrin; the essential oil composition is prepared by mixing tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil.

After stirring at 100 - 200 rpm for 20 min, add 5 drops of glacial acetic acid. React at 65 - 72 °C for 1.5 - 2.0 h, then cool to room temperature, filter by suction, take the filter cake, wash it 3 times with ethanol, and dry it at 70 °C for 24 h to obtain Schiff base silica;

Under nitrogen protection, seal and react for 24 h to obtain a polymer solution. Open the seal, add aromatic microspheres that are 0.1 - 0.2 times the mass of the polymer solution. Stir at 400 - 600 rpm for 10 min, then seal and let it stand for 3 d. Place it in a Soxhlet extractor and extract with distilled water for 48 h. Place it in a refrigerator, pre - freeze for 24 h, then freeze at -50 °C for 3 - 4 h, and grind through a 100 - mesh sieve to obtain aromatic particles;

[0013] (5) Mix natural latex and modified silica at a mass ratio of 50:2 - 5. Under stirring at 200 - 400 rpm, add hydrochloric acid until the pH of the system is 2.7, then stop stirring. React at 60 °C for 3 - 5 h, and then add sulfur, potassium oleate, ricinoleic acid, coconut fatty acid, and aromatic particles according to a mass ratio of 4 - 9:1 - 3:0.5 - 2:0.5 - 1:2 - 8. The mass ratio of sulfur to natural latex is 2 - 4:50. Stir at 10000 rpm for 10 - 20 min, then inject into a mold, evacuate and fill with carbon dioxide until the pressure is 10 - 14 MPa, foam at 70 - 80 °C for 1 - 3 h, and then cure in a steamer at 90 - 110 °C for 30 min, and cool to obtain an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow.

[0014] Further, the preparation method of the pretreated silica in step (1) is as follows: Mix silica and absolute ethanol in a mass ratio of 1:23.7, ultrasonically disperse for 10 min at 400 - 600 W, add an aqueous silane solution that is 10 - 18 times the mass of the silica. The mass ratio of 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde to deionized water in the aqueous silane solution is 1:2. After stirring evenly, react at 60 - 70 °C for 2 - 3 h, then wash with absolute ethanol and filter until the filtrate is clear and transparent. Take the filter cake and dry it at 70 °C for 24 h.

[0015] Further, the particle size of the silica is 60 - 100 μm.

[0016] Further, the mass ratio of natural silk fibroin, collagen, and ice water in the protein aqueous solution in step (3) is 3:1:55.

[0017] Further, the preparation method of the aromatic microspheres in step (4) is as follows: Spray a plant essential oil composition that is 0.05 - 0.2 times the mass of the graphene aerogel microspheres onto the graphene aerogel microspheres in 3 times. After each spraying, place it in the refrigerator and freeze for 30 - 60 min, then tumble the graphene aerogel microspheres once and continue spraying. After the spraying is completed, place it in the refrigerator and freeze for 24 h.

[0018] Further, the mass ratio of tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil in the plant essential oil composition is 0.3 - 1:1:1:0.1 - 0.4.

[0019] Further, the particle size of the graphene aerogel microspheres is 50 - 100 μm.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows:

[0021] The present invention uses natural latex, modified silica, and aromatic particles as the main raw materials, with the help of modified silica as a nucleating agent, and obtains a latex pillow through supercritical foaming to achieve the effects of antibacterial, anti-dust adhesion, sleep aid, and anti-allergy.

[0022] First, the present invention adopts the silicon-oxygen bond of 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde to be grafted on the surface of silica, and then utilizes the aldehyde group to react with the amino group of sodium m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonate to form a Schiff base antibacterial group, which effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria; then, the remaining unreacted amino group reacts with solid phosgene to introduce an isocyanate group, so that it can react with the amino, hydroxyl and other active groups of silk fibroin and collagen, and then graft protein on the surface of silica. Since silk fibroin and collagen have excellent biocompatibility, they can promote the compatibility of modified silica with natural rubber, reduce interchain defects, and enhance the performance of latex molecular chains. In addition, silk fibroin and collagen contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which adsorb Trace amounts of moisture form a molecular conductive layer, which improves antistatic properties and prevents the adsorption of charged dust. The side chain is connected to a sulfonic acid-metal ion bond, which can decomplex to generate positive and negative ions for ionic conductivity, thereby improving the anti-dust ability. At the same time, silk fibroin has certain antibacterial properties and can work together with Schiff base to improve the antibacterial ability of latex pillows. Then, the modified silica relies on the protein mixture in the molecular chain to coagulate with natural latex, and wraps the modified silica particle layer on the surface of the natural latex particles. During the vulcanization and foaming process, the two are unsealed and then cross-linked to form an interpenetrating network structure, which improves the mechanical properties of the latex pillow. At the same time, the introduction of silk fibroin and collagen greatly reduces the allergic nature of natural latex.

[0023] Secondly, tangerine peel essential oil can achieve a calming effect, rose essential oil has the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, and can effectively relieve insomnia, lavender has a calming and tranquilizing effect, and jujube kernel oil has a calming and hypnotic effect. These essential oils are mixed and sprayed on graphene aerogel microspheres, and penetrate into the microspheres along the pores. The essential oil components contain unsaturated double bonds, which can form π-π conjugation with the unsaturated double bonds on graphene, thereby fixing the essential oil in the graphene and playing a sustained-release role. Then, cyclodextrin is used to encapsulate the microspheres to prevent the aromatic particles from being released in the natural environment. During use, after the cyclodextrin is subjected to external pressure, the inclusion effect is reduced, and the essential oil is released, which promotes the user's sleep. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

After stirring at 10,000 rpm for 15 min, inject into a mold, evacuate and fill with carbon dioxide until the pressure reaches 12 MPa, foam at 75°C for 2 h, then place in a steamer at 100°C for vulcanization for 30 min, and cool to obtain an antibacterial and sleep-aiding latex pillow. The remaining steps are the same as those in Example 2.

[0063] Comparative Example 5

[0064] The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 2 is that step (5) is absent, and step (6) is changed to: Dissolve β-cyclodextrin in distilled water 50 times the mass of β-cyclodextrin, add a plant essential oil composition according to a wall-core ratio of 3:1. The mass ratio of tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil in the plant essential oil composition is 0.3:1:1:0.1 and mix. After stirring at 40°C and 400 rpm for 3 h, let it stand for precipitation for 12 h, filter by suction, and dry at 60°C for 5 h to obtain aromatic particles.

[0070] From the comparison of the rebound test data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the modified silica used in the present invention can wrap the natural latex particles. During the vulcanization and foaming process, the two are unsealed and then cross-linked to form an interpenetrating network structure, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the latex pillow; from the comparison of the antibacterial rate experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the present invention uses 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde, sodium m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonate and protein mixture as raw materials to modify silica, so that Schiff base and silk fibroin are introduced into the surface of the silica, which work together to improve the antibacterial ability of the latex pillow; from the comparison of the sleep aid and usage time experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, acid Jujube seed oil has an excellent sleep-inducing effect. At the same time, graphene aerogel microspheres can play a fixing role and enhance the sustained-release effect. At the same time, cyclodextrin encapsulation can prevent the essential oil from volatilizing at high temperature during the vulcanization process, thereby improving the sleep-inducing and sustained-release effects. From the comparison of the anti-dust and resistivity experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the present invention introduces a sulfonic acid group-metal ion bond on the surface of silica, which can decomplex and generate positive and negative ions for ion conduction, thereby improving the anti-dust ability. At the same time, silk fibroin and collagen contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which can improve the hydrophilicity of natural latex, effectively adsorb trace moisture in the environment, form a molecular conductive layer, improve antistatic properties, and prevent the adsorption of charged dust.
