AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

While maintaining excellent performance, existing stabbing materials are difficult to achieve the goals of low cost, lightweight, high comfort and safety. In particular, single-layer high-performance fiber fabrics cannot provide sufficient stabbing protection. Multiple layers of stacking are required to achieve effective protection, resulting in high manufacturing costs, increased weight and reduced flexibility.

Method used

By coating treatment using a non-spherical particle suspension, the non-spherical particles self-assemble on the fiber surface to form a single-layer, ordered and hard particle structure, which significantly enhances the friction between the fiber wires and thus improves the anti-spun properties of the fabric.

Benefits of technology

It achieves excellent anti-sting performance under a smaller number of layers, and has low raw materials, simple and environmentally friendly preparation process, and maintains good flexibility and flexibility of fabrics.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stab-proof materials, and in particular to a method for improving the performance of stab-proof cloth by utilizing non-spherical particles. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of security requirements, the demand for bulletproof and stab-proof equipment in the military and civilian fields has become increasingly urgent. Currently, the stab-proof materials on the market can be divided into three categories according to their flexibility: hard, semi-hard and soft.

[0003] Hard stab-resistant materials: These materials are usually made of metal, ceramic or hard plastic in a specific shape to achieve their stab-resistant function. However, these materials often have disadvantages such as heavy weight, high hardness, bulky and uncomfortable to wear.

[0004] Semi-rigid stab-resistant materials: They are generally made of metal sheets or metal rings riveted or ringed, or made of metal or ceramic plates embedded in fabric. Although these materials provide a certain degree of protection, they still have weight problems and lack of integrity.

[0005] Soft stab-resistant materials: These materials are mainly made of high-performance fibers (such as aramid, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, PBO, polyester and carbon fiber, etc.) or non-woven fabrics. These fibers are known for their high strength, high modulus and low density. They not only solve the weight and wearing comfort problems of hard and semi-hard materials, but also provide good flexibility, significantly improving the freedom of movement and comfort of the wearer.

[0006] However, in research and application, it is found that a single layer of high-performance fiber fabrics often cannot provide sufficient anti-stab protection, and multiple layers are required to achieve effective protection. This not only increases the manufacturing cost, but also increases the weight and thickness of the product, reduces the flexibility of the fabric, and affects the flexibility and comfort of the wearer. Although the stab resistance of the fabric can be improved by increasing the strength of the yarn or increasing the weaving density, these methods are costly and have strict processing requirements, making them difficult to be widely used.

[0007] Therefore, how to reduce the number of fabric layers while maintaining the excellent performance of stab-proof materials to achieve the goals of low cost, light weight, high comfort and safety has become the focus and challenge of research in academia and industry. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the performance of stab-proof fabric by using non-spherical particles in order to solve the above problems. The present invention improves the overall performance of stab-proof fabric by using non-spherical particles. By applying the method of the present invention, the obtained stab-proof fabric has only a small increase in surface density compared with the unmodified fabric, good flexibility, and strong flexibility, and the fabric can obtain excellent stab-proof performance with a small number of layers.

[0009] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0010] A method for improving the performance of stab-proof fabric by using non-spherical particles comprises the following steps:

[0011] Step (1) Preparation of non-spherical particle suspension: adding an appropriate amount of non-spherical particles to the solution, and ultrasonically dispersing for 5 min-2 h to obtain a uniform non-spherical particle suspension;

[0012] Step (2) Preparation of coated stab-proof fabric:

[0013] Method 1: Use a scraper to evenly apply the non-spherical particle suspension prepared in step (1) on the surface of the stab-proof cloth, and dry it naturally at room temperature to obtain a non-spherical particle coated stab-proof cloth;

[0014] Method 2: Place the stab-proof fabric in a vacuum filtration device, then pour an appropriate amount of the non-spherical particle suspension prepared in step (1) onto the upper surface of the fabric, perform vacuum filtration, remove excess water, and dry naturally at room temperature to obtain a non-spherical particle coated stab-proof fabric.

[0015] A further solution is that the non-spherical particles in step (1) include one or more of silica nanorods, rough silica particles, graphene sheets, graphite sheets, montmorillonite, silicon carbide nanorods, carbon nanotubes, zinc oxide nanowires, starch particles, polystyrene rods, and polystyrene ellipsoids; and the mass percentage of the particles in the suspension is 0.01%-70%.

[0016] A further solution is that the solution in step (1) is distilled water and ethanol, and a small amount of sodium dodecyl sulfate, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, polyethylene oxide, etc. may be added to promote the dispersion of particles; the amount of these dispersants added does not exceed 1% of the mass of the suspension.

[0017] A further solution is that the stab-proof fabric in step (2) is one or both of high-strength fiber woven fabric and high-strength fiber non-woven fabric; the high-strength fiber woven fabric is one or more of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fabric, aramid fabric, and poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) fabric; the high-strength fiber non-woven fabric is one of aramid non-woven fabric, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene non-woven fabric, and superimposed aramid and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene non-woven fabric.

[0018] A further embodiment is that the coating amount in step (2) is 1 to 100 g / m 2 .

[0019] A further solution is that the coating method described in method 1 in step (2) is single coating or double coating, and the double coating is single-sided double-layer coating or double-sided single-layer coating.

[0020] Another aspect of the present invention provides a stab-proof cloth coated with non-spherical particles obtained by the above method.

[0021] Another aspect of the present invention provides a stab-proof core layer, which is formed by laminating the above-mentioned stab-proof fabrics of the same or different types, or by laminating the above-mentioned stab-proof fabrics of the same or different types and untreated fabrics.

[0022] A further solution is that the number of stacked layers is 10-80 layers.

[0023] Another aspect of the present invention also provides the use of the non-spherical particle coated stab-proof cloth obtained by the above method; or the use of the above stab-proof core layer.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0025] The present invention discloses a method for improving the performance of stab-proof fabric by using non-spherical particles. The particles are anisotropic in shape and are passed through water evaporation and vacuum-assisted filtration to promote self-assembly on the fiber surface. The non-spherical particles form a single-layer, ordered, and hard particle structure on the fiber surface, and the particles and the fibers have good interface interaction. Different from the common coating method, this method only needs to add a small amount of non-spherical particles to significantly improve the friction between the fiber filaments, thereby improving the stab-proof performance of the fabric.

[0048] Pictures of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene woven fabric before and after graphene treatment Figure 2 As shown. After coating, the sample changed from white to black.
