Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cellulose spinning, and particularly relates to a semi-interpenetrating network cellulose-based aqueous colloidal material for spinning, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, for the purpose of reducing and replacing petrochemical resources, the research on the fiber resource utilization of biomass such as cellulose has received more attention from the academic and industrial circles, especially the processing and manufacturing of regenerated cellulose fibers. However, the currently commercialized regenerated cellulose fibers are all limited by problems such as complex and expensive production processes and serious pollution of the solvent system, making it difficult to achieve the true green processing and development of cellulose fibers. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the crystalline structure of cellulose restricts the movement and arrangement between molecular chains, making it difficult to process. At present, the industrial production of cellulose fibers mainly relies on solvent systems, but there are many problems. For example, the viscose process has a long processing process and the generation of pollutant CS2, and the Lyocell process has difficulties in synthesizing raw material NMMO, mainly imported at a high price, is easily decomposed at high temperatures, and has important quality problems such as wet fibers being prone to fibrillation; while the relatively green low-temperature alkali-urea system and ionic liquid system still face various challenges in industrialization due to their own defects (such as solvent recovery costs and process equipment problems). Therefore, the preparation of high-quality cellulose spinning dope based on green processing is particularly important for the green and environmentally friendly industrial production and development of cellulose fibers.

[0003] In the existing technologies regarding cellulose colloidal solutions, Chinese Patent No. CN116396405A discloses a preparation method of microcrystalline cellulose colloid based on straw pith. In this invention, the pretreated straw pith raw material is added to an alkali solution and impregnated for a certain time, and then the alkali solution is filtered out, crushed, shear-dispersed, filtered, and washed to obtain a stably dispersed microcrystalline cellulose colloid; Chinese Patent No. CN103304824A discloses a preparation method of a high-concentration nano-microcrystalline cellulose colloid. This invention prepares a low-concentration nano-microcrystalline cellulose dispersion by sulfuric acid hydrolysis, and then removes water by rotary evaporation to obtain a nano-microcrystalline cellulose colloid with a mass fraction of 35 - 85 wt%; Chinese Patent No. CN104072787B also discloses a preparation method of a high-concentration nano-cellulose colloid. This invention prepares nano-cellulose by mechanical method, chemical method, biological method or mechanochemical method, and the obtained nano-cellulose is separated by centrifugation or microporous filter cloth filtration to obtain a nano-cellulose colloid. Then, the nano-cellulose colloid is cryogenically frozen to form aggregation and entanglement between nano-celluloses, and then the frozen nano-cellulose colloid is placed at 0 oThaw at a temperature above C, and finally disperse the precipitate in a solvent through filtration, pressure filtration, washing and mechanical shearing to obtain a high-concentration nanocellulose colloid; Chinese Patent Nos. CN107090607B and CN113150314B both disclose the invention technology of preparing composite fibers or gel materials by mixing a cellulose dissolution solution based on a cellulose solvent system with a polyvinyl alcohol component. There is no relevant report on the above-mentioned green processing technology for preparing a cellulose-based aqueous colloid with good spinnability in the published inventions.

[0052] Comparative Example 1:

[0053] In order to compare the mechanical properties of cellulose-based fibers prepared from cellulose-based aqueous colloids based on water systems with those prepared from cellulose dissolution systems, and to illustrate that the cellulose-based fibers developed using the green and environmentally friendly water system meet the industry standards. The spinning dope of the comparative example was compared with the semi-interpenetrating network cellulose-based aqueous colloid spinning solution with a solid content of 10% in Example 1 using the current industrial Lyocell process. The method of preparing the spinning dope and spinning in Comparative Example 1 using the traditional Lyocell process is as follows:

[0054] Taking dry cotton fibers (cotton pulp) as raw materials, they were dissolved in an aqueous solution of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) with a mass fraction of 86 wt% to prepare a cellulose spinning solution with a mass fraction of 10 wt%; then the dissolved cellulose spinning solution was extruded through a spinneret (3.5 m / min) into a coagulation bath, where the first and second coagulation baths were aqueous solutions of NMMO with mass fractions of 30 wt% and 10 wt% respectively. Finally, the fibers prepared by wet spinning were placed in a water bath for washing to remove the residual solvent. After washing, the fibers were further stretched and dried by heat to obtain typical Lyocell fibers.

[0055] It should be noted here that the thickness dimensions of the fibers obtained by the spinning processes in the above Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 are the same. The semi-interpenetrating network cellulose-based aqueous colloid material samples and spinning fiber samples obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were tested:

[0056] (1) Characterization of colloid rheology: A digital viscometer (SNB-2, China) was used to test the cellulose-based composite aqueous polymer colloid. 50 mL of the aqueous colloid was taken in a beaker and left standing for 24 h at room temperature of 25o Measurements were carried out using the L4 rotor at C, and the unit of measurement was mPa·s.

[0057] (2) Characterization of the mechanical properties of single fibers: The mechanical properties of the fibers prepared by wet spinning of cellulose-based aqueous colloids were tested using an electronic single yarn strength tester (YM061, China). The gauge length was set to 30 mm, the drawing speed was fixed at 10 mm / min, and each sample was measured 5 times and the average value was taken. The dry strength (cN / dtex) and elongation at break (%) were calculated and recorded.

[0058] (3) Characterization of the apparent morphology of fibers: The surface and cross-sectional micro-morphologies of the fibers prepared by wet spinning of cellulose-based aqueous colloids were tested using a scanning electron microscope (FEI Quanta 200, USA). For the complete sample preparation of the fiber cross-section, liquid nitrogen brittle fracture treatment was used.

[0059] The test data of Examples 1-3 are shown in Table 1.

[0060] Table 1

[0061]

[0062] Result analysis:

[0063] The semi-interpenetrating network cellulose-based aqueous colloids based on the water system prepared in Examples 1-3, and the cellulose-based aqueous colloids with different solid contents prepared using the same cellulose and aqueous polymer all have good spinnability. It can be seen that the preparation of aqueous colloids with different cellulose contents (solid contents) has good uniformity and processability. Further, a large number of spinning experiments were carried out using cellulose-based aqueous colloids with different solid contents as the spinning dope. By comparison, it was found that the solid content and apparent viscosity of the spinning dope are important indicators for determining the good spinnability of the aqueous colloids. According to the experimental results, when the solid content of the cellulose-based aqueous colloid is not less than 2 wt%, and the viscosity is greater than 12000 mPa·s, the colloid has good spinnability. However, when the solid content of the cellulose-based aqueous colloid exceeds 50 wt%, continuous spinning cannot be carried out due to excessive viscosity. Therefore, the preferred solid content of the cellulose-based aqueous colloid in this application is 2.3-46 wt%. In addition, by observing the apparent morphology of the cellulose-based fibers prepared by wet spinning in Example 2 through a scanning electron microscope ( Figure 1 c-d in), it can be clearly seen that the cellulose-based fibers obtained through multiple stretching treatments such as spinning, drying, and stretching have good orientation, which is beneficial to the improvement of the mechanical properties of the fibers. Figure 2 By comparing the cellulose-based fibers prepared from the cellulose-based aqueous colloids based on the water system of the present invention with the cellulose fibers produced by the current industrialized Lyocell process, the results are as

[0064] shown in Figure 3As shown. The tensile breaking strength of the cellulose-based fibers prepared in Examples 1-5 of the present invention is 2.98-3.74 cN / dtex, and the breaking strength of the cellulose fibers prepared by the laboratory Lyocell process is 2.83 cN / dtex; the corresponding breaking elongation rates are 6.14%-9.16% and 7.3% for the latter. From Figure 3 It can be seen that the average strength and breaking elongation rate of the fibers obtained by wet spinning of cellulose-based aqueous colloids are higher than those of the cellulose fibers prepared by the laboratory NMMO process, further illustrating the feasibility and practicality of the green process for preparing cellulose-based fibers by cellulose-based aqueous colloid spinning in an aqueous system.

[0065] In summary, the cellulose-based fibers prepared using cellulose-based aqueous colloids have good fiber-forming properties, and the mechanical properties of the fibers meet the current industrialization indicators.

[0066] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are only examples, and various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is only defined by the appended claims.
