Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a silk fibroin-based fabric processing method with personal heat and moisture management capability, and belongs to the technical field of functional textile processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, due to global warming, the energy demand for refrigeration is increasing, which causes serious environmental problems such as greenhouse effect and ozone hole. Traditional textiles cannot meet the urgent cooling demand of people in outdoor high-temperature environment due to the lack of personal heat and moisture management function, which easily leads to various high-temperature diseases. In view of this problem, many researchers focus on strengthening the reflection of sunlight (0.5-2.5 μm), transmitting human infrared thermal radiation (7-14 μm) to the cold outer space close to absolute zero through the atmospheric window (8-13 μm), and other ways to realize the construction of wearable passive cooling textiles. At present, passive cooling textile products mainly focus on the adjustment of personal micro-environmental thermal comfort. In the outdoor high-temperature environment (> 35℃), through strengthening the evaporation of sweat to replace heat conduction and heat radiation, which is also the main way of heat dissipation and cooling of human body. In this high-temperature scene, if the sweat cannot be evaporated in time through the clothes, but accumulates on the surface of the human body, it will lead to the decrease of wearing comfort. Therefore, the rapid evaporation of sweat is also an important aspect for the design of passive cooling textiles.

[0003] Introducing nanoparticles with high infrared vibration into fibers and constructing a porous layered structure is the most commonly used method to manufacture passive cooling textiles with radiative cooling capability. The specific implementation methods include impregnation of coupled nanoparticles, in-situ growth of nanoparticles, functional coating of nanoparticles, etc. By depositing nanoparticles on the surface of fibers, the method has the advantage of convenience, but the disadvantage is that it will reduce the inherent air permeability and hand feeling of the textile. In recent years, the preparation of nanofibers by melt spinning or wet spinning has gradually attracted attention for the preparation of textiles with radiative cooling function. In addition, designing a wetting gradient and manufacturing a layered structure are also common ways to prepare heat and moisture management textiles with directional sweat. Specific methods include lamination, chemical coating, spray modification, ion plasma treatment and weaving of special structures. In the construction of the above cool textiles, due to the limitation of the cross-sectional wettability gradient or the small change of porosity of the fiber product, there are many problems such as insufficient driving force in the wet process and low efficiency of sweat transport. At present, in the design and processing of passive cooling textiles, there is still a lack of efficient processing methods that combine multiple passive cooling strategies such as rapid heat conduction and radiative cooling. The comprehensive cooling efficiency of most cool fabrics is not ideal, and some cool fabrics based on synthetic fibers also have the problem of poor biodegradability. SUMMARY

[0032] Advantages:

[0033] Compared with the cool finishing of traditional nanofiber textiles, the moisture and heat management silk fibroin-based fabric prepared by the processing method of the present application has the following advantages:

[0035] (2) The fabric has low thermal conductivity. The nano boron nitride in the fabric B layer is uniformly wrapped by the silk fibroin fiber, forming a large number of continuous heat conduction networks inside the fiber membrane, improving the thermal conductivity in the vertical and parallel directions, and facilitating the rapid dissipation of human body heat through the textile or the rapid diffusion from the main heat production part of the human body to other parts, thereby providing the human body with a lasting cool feeling.

[0036] (3) Good directional sweat effect. The layered design gives the silk fibroin-based fabric differences in fiber diameter, pore distribution and wettability gradient, providing a driving force for the transport of sweat from the skin to the external environment; the rapid evaporation of sweat not only maintains the dry comfort of the human skin, but also rapidly cools the human body, thereby improving the thermal and moisture comfort of the human body.

[0037] (4) The fabric has excellent biodegradability. The raw material of the moisture management silk fibroin-based fabric is derived from natural protein fibers, rather than non-renewable and non-degradable synthetic polymers derived from the petrochemical industry, which has the advantage of low-carbon sustainable development.

[0065] Comparative Example 1

[0066] The difference compared with Example 1 is that no nano-alumina is added in step (2).

[0067] Comparative Example 2

[0068] The difference compared with Example 2 is that no nano-boron nitride is added in step (3).

[0069] Comparative Example 3

[0070] The difference compared with Example 1 is that no solution of heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane is sprayed in step (4).

[0071] Comparative Example 4

[0072] The difference compared with Example 1 is that formic acid is used instead of hexafluoroisopropanol to dissolve the silk fibroin in step (3), and the electrospinning parameters of step (3) are the same as those of step (2) of Example 1.

[0073] Comparative Example 5

[0074] The difference compared with Example 2 is that no nano-alumina is added in step (2).

[0075] Comparative Example 6

[0076] The difference compared with Example 2 is that no nano-boron nitride is added in step (3).

[0077] Comparative Example 7

[0078] The difference compared with Example 2 is that no solution of heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane is sprayed in step (4).

[0079] Comparative Example 8

[0080] The difference compared with Example 2 is that formic acid is used instead of hexafluoroisopropanol to dissolve the silk fibroin in step (3), and the electrospinning parameters of step (3) are the same as those of step (2) of Example 2.

[0081] The thermal conductivity of the inner surface (the side close to the human body, coated with heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane) of the moisture management silk-based fabric, the average solar reflectance and the average solar reflectance of the outer surface (the side facing the sunlight radiation, fabric A layer), the one-way water transfer index from the inside to the outside, the water vapor transmission rate of the moisture management silk-based fabric, and the breaking strength of the sample of Example 1-2 and Comparative Examples 1-8 are tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0082] As shown in Table 1, the wet heat management silk fabric prepared by the method of the present application (Example 1, Example 2) has higher average infrared emissivity, average solar reflectivity and thermal conductivity, and the unidirectional water transport index and water vapor permeability are better than those of the samples in other examples, and the directional sweat discharge capacity is obvious. The reason is that the nanometer aluminum oxide in the fabric A layer increases the solar light reflection ability, the nanometer boron in the fabric B layer improves the thermal conductivity of the fabric, the differential fiber diameter setting and surface hydrophobic modification between the two layers form a strong unidirectional wetting effect from the inside to the outside, and a composite fabric with double Janus characteristics is constructed, which gives the silk fabric excellent thermal and moisture management effect and good mechanical properties.

[0083] Table 1

[0084]

[0085] The wet heat management silk fabric treated by steps (1)-(4) but without adding nanometer aluminum oxide in step (2) treatment (Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 5) has slightly lower average infrared emissivity and average solar reflectivity, because the nanometer aluminum oxide itself can increase the infrared emissivity and average solar reflectivity of the surface of the silk fabric; the fabric directional sweat discharge capacity and thermal conductivity are comparable to those of the examples, and the fabric strength is slightly increased.

[0086] The wet heat management silk fabric treated by steps (1)-(4) but without adding nanometer boron nitride in step (3) treatment (Comparative Example 2, Comparative Example 6) has average infrared emissivity and average solar reflectivity similar to those of the samples in the examples, but the thermal conductivity of the silk fabric is lower, because nanometer boron nitride has a high thermal conductivity, and the lack of nanometer boron nitride increases the thermal resistance of the fabric B layer; the directional sweat discharge capacity of the prepared fabric is comparable to that of the samples in the examples, and the fabric strength is slightly increased.

[0087] The silk fabric treated by steps (1)-(4) but without spraying heptadecafluorodecyltrimethoxysilane in step (4) treatment (Comparative Example 3, Comparative Example 7) has average infrared emissivity, average solar reflectivity and fabric thermal conductivity similar to those of the samples in the examples, but the unidirectional water transport index of the prepared silk fabric is lower than that of the wet heat management silk fabric prepared in the examples, because the surface of the fabric B layer does not form a hydrophobic structure layer, and the moisture (used to simulate sweat) on the surface of the prepared silk fabric is difficult to efficiently diffuse and transfer from the inside to the outside to the hydrophilic fabric A layer, the directional sweat discharge capacity of the fabric is relatively poor, and the fabric strength is comparable to that of the examples.

[0088] The average infrared emissivity, average solar reflectivity and thermal conductivity of the silk fabric treated by steps (1)-(4) but using formic acid instead of hexafluoroisopropanol to dissolve silk in step (3) (Comparative Example 4 and Comparative Example 8) are similar to those of the samples in the examples, but the unidirectional water transport index of the fabric is not as good as that of the moisture management silk fabric prepared in the examples. The reason is that the spinning parameters in step (3) are the same as those in step (2), i.e. the diameters and porosities of the fibers in the B layer and the A layer of the fabric are similar, which results in the failure to form the differential effect of the B layer in quickly absorbing water and quickly transporting the water to the outside of the A layer in the simulation of unidirectional sweat transport, and thus the fabric has a lower ability to direct sweat from the inside to the outside than the examples. The strength of the fabric is slightly higher than that of the examples. This result also verifies that the different spinning solvents have a significant effect on the diameter of the silk fibers and the unidirectional moisture transport capacity in the design of the structure of the silk fabric, i.e. even if thick fibers are used as the inner layer and thin fibers are used as the outer layer, it is still beneficial to form the unidirectional moisture transport performance from the inside to the outside.

[0089] The above examples are not intended to limit the scope of the present application, and the described steps are not intended to limit the execution order. The modifications of the present application that are obvious to those skilled in the art in combination with the existing common knowledge also fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present application.
