Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of fiber wet spinning technology, and more specifically to an enlarged preparation process of high-performance protein-like fibers. Background Art

[0002] Bionic materials refer to materials developed by imitating various characteristics or properties of organisms. People extract, explore and learn the structural laws of biological models and biological materials in nature, and design a series of bionic materials based on this principle. Bionic materials are highly designable, more environmentally friendly than plastic products, and have excellent product performance. Bionic fibers are an important component of bionic materials. Since the 20th century, people have developed various spinning methods for chemical fibers by simulating the process of silkworms spinning silk; people have discovered that a moth that is active at night has a micro-conical protrusion structure on the surface of its cornea, so by simulating this special structure, ultra-micro pit fibers are produced; as well as chemical fibers that are similar in morphology, structure, appearance and performance, or artificial fibers that imitate the contact between natural fibers and human skin. They are low-cost and highly efficient in production, and have become an indispensable part of people's daily lives.

[0003] The natural polymer fiber - spider silk has excellent elasticity and flexibility, strong impact resistance, and good low temperature resistance. Its strength is higher than that of aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers. From the microstructure analysis of the material, natural spider silk has soft and hard segments, that is, a microphase separation structure formed by amorphous and crystalline regions. The crystalline phase is dispersed in the amorphous phase in the form of nanocrystals, and when the fiber is subjected to external tensile force, these microcrystals are axially oriented along the tensile direction, thereby giving the natural spider silk high strength. The non-crystalline region in the natural spider silk gives the spider silk high elasticity and flexibility. People have been inspired by the structure of natural spider silk and developed a new generation of high-strength and high-elasticity bionic fibers.

[0004] However, the current preparation processes of bionic fibers mainly include dry spinning, wet spinning and melt spinning. The wet spinning process can be applied to materials that cannot be melt-spun, such as natural biological macromolecules. However, the fiber breaking strength of the protein-like fibers prepared by the current wet spinning method is about 0.5-0.9 cN / dtex in dry state and about 0.35-0.88 cN / dtex in wet state, which has the defect of insufficient fiber strength.
