Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wool bioenzyme anti-felting finishing method based on subtraction-addition method, and belongs to the technical field of textile dyeing and finishing. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the anti-felting treatment of wool fiber products in the textile industry primarily relies on chlorination, with the chlorination-Hercosett process being the most widely used commercially. While this process offers excellent anti-felting results, it also produces significant amounts of adsorbable organic halides, which pose significant risks to both humans and the environment due to their inherent toxicity, lack of microbial degradation, and carcinogenicity. Therefore, the search for environmentally friendly, energy-efficient, and effective bio-based anti-felting treatments for wool has become a research hotspot within the wool textile dyeing and finishing industry in recent years.

[0003] Compared to traditional chemical wool anti-felting methods, enzymatic methods offer several advantages, including mild treatment conditions, reduced environmental pollution, and a softer feel after finishing. Protease is the most commonly used enzyme in enzymatic wool shrinkage-proofing. The basic principle is to hydrolyze and destroy the keratin in the scale layer of wool fibers, achieving a subtractive anti-felting effect. Although numerous studies have reported on the use of proteases for wool anti-felting, the effectiveness of protease-based shrinkage-proofing alone in actual production is suboptimal. This is primarily due to the protease's tendency to diffuse into the fiber and hydrolyze the intercellular matrix and cortex between the scale layers, causing significant fiber damage. To compensate for the fiber damage caused by subtractive enzymatic anti-felting, some researchers have employed a resin deposition method for additive anti-felting. The basic idea is to deposit a thin resin film on the surface of the wool fibers. This film, by covering the scale layer, reduces the risk of felting between fibers under humid and hot conditions. Furthermore, the resin film also has a certain degree of fiber-strengthening properties. Existing production practices have shown that additive resin deposition methods can significantly reduce the felt shrinkage of wool fiber products. However, their drawback is that they can affect the handle of wool fiber products to varying degrees. Furthermore, some resin films exhibit poor bonding strength to the wool fiber surface, adversely affecting the durability of the anti-felting effect. Therefore, developing an eco-friendly anti-felting method for wool that not only meets the requirements of low felting and strength loss, but also minimizes the impact on the handle of wool fiber products, is a technical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed in wool textile dyeing and finishing. Summary of the Invention

[0004]

Technical Issues

[0005] In the anti-felting finishing process of wool fiber products, the chlorination method of anti-felting is prone to cause adverse environmental pollution, the single protease subtractive method of anti-felting is prone to cause wool fiber damage, and the additive method based on resin deposition will affect the feel of the fiber products. The above problems affect the anti-felting finishing process of wool fiber products.

[0006]

Technical solution

[0007] To solve the above problems, the present invention first uses keratinase, which is specific to the wool scale layer, to hydrolyze the wool fiber scale layer to perform subtractive anti-felting finishing on wool fiber products; on this basis, with the help of horseradish peroxidase, catalyzes the oxidation of disulfide-bond phenolic small molecules to react with tyrosine in wool fiber macromolecules, and forms polyphenol macromolecules on the wool surface through graft polymerization; finally, heating is used to induce the opening of disulfide bonds in the side groups of the polyphenol macromolecules, promote the reconstruction of disulfide bonds between the polyphenol macromolecules, and form a network cross-linked structure on the wool fiber surface, thereby achieving additive anti-felting and giving wool fiber products an additive anti-felting finishing effect.

[0038] The third object of the present invention is to provide the application of the above-mentioned subtractive-additive anti-felting wool fiber product in the field of textiles.

[0039] Beneficial effects:

[0040] The present invention combines keratinase, horseradish peroxidase, and disulfide-bonded phenolic small molecules to perform a subtractive-additive enzymatic anti-felting treatment for wool. Compared with conventional chemical or protease-based subtractive anti-felting treatments and resin deposition-based additive anti-felting treatments, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0041] (1) Ecological safety of the finishing process. Biological enzymes are protein macromolecular biological agents with good ecological safety. No chlorine-containing oxidants or chemical reducing agents are used in the finishing process of the method, achieving zero AOX emissions in the anti-felting finishing process of wool fiber products, meeting the requirements of low-carbon green dyeing and finishing.

[0042] (2) Low felting shrinkage and low strength loss. Keratinase can hydrolyze the keratin in the wool scale layer during subtractive anti-felting. After adding sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonic acid to combine with keratinase, it can inhibit the excessive hydrolysis of the wool cortex and scale cell matrix by enzyme molecules, thereby reducing the fiber strength loss in the subtractive anti-felting of wool. On this basis, horseradish peroxidase catalyzes the reaction between tyrosine on the wool surface and disulfide-bonded phenolic small molecules, and grafting polymerization is performed on the fiber to form polyphenol macromolecules containing disulfide side groups. Combined with high-temperature heating, the disulfide bond ring opening and intermolecular reconstruction on the side groups of the polyphenol macromolecule are promoted, forming a network cross-linking on the fiber surface, further reducing the felting shrinkage of the fiber product and improving the strength.

[0043] (3) The fiber products have a better feel: Compared with the traditional resin deposition method, the method of the present invention uses disulfide bond-containing phenolic small molecules as raw materials, and forms covalently bonded polyphenolic small molecules on the fiber surface through enzyme-catalyzed graft polymerization. The disulfide bonds are opened and reconstructed during the heating process, thereby improving the anti-felting finishing effect. The finishing method has little effect on the feel of the fiber products. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0095] The difference from Example 2 is that step (2) is not performed.

[0098] The wool fabrics prepared in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 12 were tested, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0099] Table 1

[0100]

[0101] The area felting rate of the subtractive-additive anti-felting wool fabrics prepared by the present invention (Example 1 and Example 2) is ≤6%, which meets the requirements of anti-shrinkage wool fabrics; the strength loss rate of the subtractive-additive anti-felting wool fabrics is less than 10%, indicating that the fibers are less damaged during the treatment; the drape coefficient of the prepared subtractive-additive anti-felting wool fabrics is similar to that of the wool fabrics of Comparative Example 1 or 7, and the hand feel is good.

[0102] The wool fabrics without any treatment (Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 7) had a higher area felting rate (>15%), indicating that the anti-felting effect was poor.

[0103] The wool fabrics treated only with step (2) without the addition of sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonate (Comparative Examples 2 and 8) showed a certain degree of reduction in area felting compared to the untreated wool fabrics, but were still much higher than 6%, not yet meeting the standard for shrink-proof wool products. At the same time, the strength loss rates of the wool fabrics prepared in Comparative Examples 2 and 8 were both greater than 15%, indicating that the keratinase treatment alone hydrolyzed the intercellular components and cortical layer of the wool scales, causing damage to the wool fibers. This result indicates that it is difficult to meet the requirements for anti-felting wool using only keratinase.

[0104] Compared with the wool fabrics without the addition of sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonate (Comparative Example 2 and Comparative Example 8), the wool fabrics treated only by step (2) (Comparative Example 3 and Comparative Example 9) have a slightly lower area felting rate and a slightly lower strength loss rate. The reason is that sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonate binds to the keratinase enzyme protein, preventing the keratinase enzyme protein from diffusing into the wool fiber. This shows that the addition of sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonate can reduce the fiber damage in the anti-felting finishing of wool protease to a certain extent.

[0105] The wool fabrics treated only by step (2) but using protease instead of keratinase (Comparative Examples 4 and 10) had similar felting shrinkage rates to those of the samples in Comparative Examples 3 and 9, respectively, under the same total enzyme activity conditions, but had higher strength loss rates, indicating that in the presence of sodium 2-cyclohexylaminoethanesulfonate, keratinase can more effectively hydrolyze keratin flakes with a higher disulfide bond content than protease, thereby reducing damage to the interior of the wool fiber.

[0106] The wool fabrics not treated with step (2) (Comparative Example 5 and Comparative Example 11) have a lower area felting rate than the wool fabrics not treated with any treatment (Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 7). The reason is that the phenolic small molecules are grafted and polymerized on the wool fiber surface by horseradish peroxidase, so that the wool fabrics obtain an additive anti-felting finishing effect. On the other hand, since the wool fabrics have not been treated with keratinase, there are more hydrophobic lipid structures on the surface of the fiber scales (i.e., fewer exposed tyrosine acids), which makes the number of polyphenolic macromolecules bound to the wool fiber surface by horseradish peroxidase less. Therefore, the felting rate of the wool fabric cannot meet the requirement of less than 6%. In addition, the strength of the prepared wool fabric is slightly increased because it has not been hydrolyzed by keratinase and thus no fiber damage is caused.

[0107] The wool fabrics not treated in step (4) (Comparative Examples 6 and 12) had lower felting rates, but still higher than the subtractive-additive anti-felting wool fabrics produced by the present invention (Examples 1 and 2). This is because they were not treated with hot water in step (4). The effect of hot water treatment is to break the disulfide bonds on the side groups of the polyphenol macromolecules on the wool surface at high temperatures to generate sulfhydryl groups. Further, through the bonding between the sulfhydryl groups, disulfide bonds are re-formed between the polyphenol macromolecules, forming a cross-linked network on the wool fiber surface, achieving an additive anti-felting effect and simultaneously increasing the strength of the wool fiber. The wool fabrics produced in Comparative Examples 6 and 12 were not treated with hot water, and no network structure was formed on the fiber surface. Therefore, the finishing effect was inferior to that of Examples 1 and 2.

[0108] The embodiments provided above are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, nor are the steps described to limit their execution order. Any obvious improvements to the present invention made by those skilled in the art in combination with existing common knowledge shall fall within the scope of protection defined by the claims of the present invention.
