Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of conductive fibers, and in particular to a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance and a continuous preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Stretchable conductive fibers are a type of fiber that has certain mechanical and electrical properties. They can effectively solve the problem that deformation and conductive stability cannot coexist in traditional rigid wires. They have broad application prospects in smart textiles, wearable electronic devices, human motion detection and other fields.

[0003] At present, there are three main methods for preparing stretchable conductive fibers: The first method is to disperse the conductive material in a polymer elastomer solution and prepare elastic conductive fibers by wet spinning. For example, in the literature (Appl. Mater. Today, 2018, 11, 255), poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), polystyrene sulfonate and polyurethane solution are mixed to obtain a spinning solution, and then an elastic conductive yarn is prepared by a wet spinning process. This method can achieve the continuous preparation of stretchable conductive fibers, but due to the limited addition of conductive components, the conductive properties of the prepared fibers need to be improved. The second method is to coat the outer layer of the existing elastic fiber with a conductive material, thereby giving the elastic fiber a certain conductivity. For example, patent CN114108152B discloses a method for preparing a multi-layered composite yarn with both strain sensing and tensile resistance stability, using spandex filaments as core yarns, adding a conductive wrinkle layer (the conductive material is carbon nanotubes or liquid metal) on this basis, and then using electrostatic spinning for surface coating, and then coating carbon-based nanomaterials and metal nanomaterials, and finally coating a layer of electrostatically spun fiber mesh to prepare a complete yarn. Although the multi-level structure disclosed in this patent can well avoid the problem of nanomaterial shedding, the preparation method is complicated, the materials used are more, and the cost is high. The third method is to first prepare conductive fibers, and then wrap them on the surface of elastic fiber filaments to prepare elastic conductive yarns. For example, patent CN110129942B discloses elastic conductive yarns and their preparation methods, first using ring spinning to prepare conductive core-spun yarns, and then twisting and wrapping the elastic fiber filaments with the obtained conductive core-spun yarns to finally obtain elastic conductive yarns. This preparation method is easy to achieve large-scale production, but the preparation process is complicated, and there is a problem of unstable resistance under large deformation.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance, simple preparation method, continuous operation and low cost. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance and a continuous preparation method thereof. With elastic fiber as a baseline, the elastic fiber is stretched to a preset multiple through the speed difference between a feeding roller and a collecting roller, and the stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance is obtained by multiple wetting and coating of carbon nanotubes. The preparation method is simple, low-cost, and can realize continuous production.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a continuous preparation method of stretchable conductive fibers with stable resistance, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1, taking the elastic fiber as the baseline, unwinding through a feeding roller, wetting, coating with carbon nanotubes, solvent bathing, and drying, and then winding through a collecting roller. After winding, the tension is released and the elastic fiber shrinks;

[0008] Wherein, the linear speeds of the feeding roller and the collecting roller are set according to the pre-stretching multiple, and the linear speed of the collecting roller is greater than the linear speed of the feeding roller;

[0009] S2, the fiber obtained in the previous step is unwound through a feeding roller, and after being wetted, coated with carbon nanotubes, solvent bathed, and dried, it is taken up through a collecting roller, and after the taking-up is completed, the tension is released, and the elastic fiber shrinks;

[0010] Wherein, the linear speed of the feeding roller and the collecting roller is the same as that in step S1;

[0011] S3, repeat step S2 to coat multiple layers of carbon nanotubes to obtain the stretchable conductive carbon fiber with stable resistance.

[0012] The present invention uses elastic fiber as the baseline, and through the speed difference between the feeding roller and the collecting roller, the elastic fiber is stretched to a preset multiple, the stretching multiple of the fiber is maintained, and the carbon nanotubes are repeatedly wetted and coated. After the coating of multiple layers of carbon nanotubes is completed, the stretching force is released, the fiber shrinks, and the carbon nanotube layer folds with the shrinkage of the baseline, thereby obtaining a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance. When the fiber is used, when it is stretched again, the folded carbon nanotube layer produces spatial reconstruction with the stretching of the baseline, and the carbon nanotube layer has a strong bonding force with the baseline wetted with a polyurethane solution, and there is no risk of falling off, so the conductive performance of the fiber is stable. The diameter and resistance of the stretchable conductive fiber are adjusted by adjusting the thickness of the baseline and the number of coatings. The preparation method is simple, low-cost, and can achieve continuous production.

[0013] Furthermore, the pre-stretching multiple is 1.5-4 times.

[0014] Furthermore, in S1 and S2, the solution used for wetting is an aqueous polyurethane solution with a mass concentration of 5%-10%. After being wetted with the aqueous polyurethane solution, the carbon nanotubes are coated. The polyurethane plays a bonding role between the baseline and the carbon nanotube layer, thereby improving the bonding strength between the two and reducing the risk of carbon nanotubes falling off.

[0015] Furthermore, the elastic fiber is polyurethane fiber, and the fineness of the elastic fiber is 280-2280D.

[0016] Furthermore, in S1 and S2, the coating is specifically to contact the moistened elastic fiber with the carbon nanotubes to coat the surface of the elastic fiber with a layer of carbon nanotubes.

[0017] Furthermore, in S1 and S2, the carbon nanotubes are prepared by a floating catalyst chemical vapor deposition method.

[0018] Furthermore, in S1 and S2, the solvent used in the solvent bath is water, ethanol or acetone.

[0019] Furthermore, the number of repetitions is 0-4 times.

[0020] The second aspect of the present invention discloses a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance prepared by the preparation method described in the first aspect.

[0021] Furthermore, when the tensile deformation rate of the fiber is 50%-300%, the resistance change rate is less than 15%.

[0022] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0023] The present invention uses elastic fiber as the base line, and coats the carbon nanotube cylinder on the pre-stretched base line surface. After releasing the stretching force, a stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance is obtained. The preparation method is simple, low-cost, can be carried out continuously, and is suitable for mass production.

[0024] The stretchable conductive fiber with stable resistance prepared by the method of the present invention has good bonding strength between the outer carbon nanotube layer and the inner elastic fiber baseline, has no risk of falling off, can achieve stable conductive performance within a certain deformation range, and has good flexibility.

[0025] The present invention can adjust the diameter and resistance of the fiber by adjusting the thickness of the base line and the number of coatings, thereby obtaining stretchable conductive fibers with different sizes and resistances. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
