Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of textile materials, and in particular relates to an anti-ultraviolet textile material and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of outdoor sportswear, medical protective textiles and special military equipment, anti-UV fiber materials have long faced two major technical difficulties: First, the lack of durability in protection. Traditional UV shielding agents, such as TiO2 / PEG coatings, have a UPF value decay of more than 40% after 20 washes due to physical attachment on the surface, which causes the functional particles to fall off. Second, it is difficult to strike a balance between comfort and protection. Although a high content of inorganic nanoparticles of >5wt% can increase the UPF to 50+ and improve the protective effect, it causes the fiber breaking strength to decrease by 18-22%, and the air permeability of the fabric to decrease by about 37%, resulting in a significant decrease in its physical properties and air permeability, and a significant decrease in comfort.
[0003] In the face of the above dilemma, there are currently three main solutions. First, co-spinning is used to blend ZnO nanoparticles with polyester melt, but when the particle size is greater than 30nm, the fiber haze is greater than 85%, which will lead to the loss of the transparent texture demand of textiles and the decrease in comfort and breathability; second, the in-situ mineralization method, constructing metal organic frameworks such as ZIF-8 in cellulose fibers, although it improves washability, but the thermal stability of MOFs is less than 280℃, which is incompatible with the melt spinning process, and the product yield and yield rate are difficult to improve. The cost of industrialization is extremely high, and it is currently limited to experimental research; third, biomimetic method, Rubik's Cube Biology constructs multi-layer reflection, refraction, and interference films to reduce ultraviolet penetration, but the multi-layer film interference structure cannot maintain continuity in the fiber axis, and the actual UPF is far from reaching the theoretical value. The highest value currently recorded is only 32% of the theoretical value.
[0004] In this regard, our R&D personnel have pioneered ideas for modifying and optimizing textile materials from other angles. They can achieve anti-UV effects through the intrinsic mechanisms of directional UV band shielding and dynamic energy dissipation, so that the material itself has good stability. At the same time, they can significantly optimize the anti-UV effect of textile material fabric products, and achieve better anti-UV performance in a lighter and thinner state. They can also greatly maintain the breathability of the fabric while achieving anti-UV, greatly improving comfort. Summary of the invention

[0023] A UV resistant textile material.
[0024] The core of the solution of the present invention is to optimize the raw materials so that the textile has a pore-maintaining effect, so that the textile has a breathable mechanism that is less affected by humidity.
[0025] In the field of textile materials, although the current anti-ultraviolet fibers have made some contributions in resisting ultraviolet rays, they still have functional defects. When such fibers are wet, water will form a liquid phase blocking layer in the mesoporous and microporous areas through the capillary condensation effect, and the blockage will cause the air permeability to be significantly reduced. According to the principles of fluid mechanics and mass transfer, the reduced air permeability makes the air circulation blocked, and the heat and moisture of the human body cannot be dissipated in time, resulting in a stuffy feeling when wearing, which seriously affects the comfort. In view of the difficulties of the prior art, the present invention proposes an innovative technical solution. The present invention utilizes the conformational memory effect of polyether block polyamide polymer to enable the textile to have a pore maintenance effect. The polymer has a special molecular structure and undergoes reversible conformational changes under different environments. When absorbing water and swelling, the molecular chain specifically stretches and rearranges, expanding the preset microgroove channels on the surface or inside of the fiber. This dynamic pore maintenance mechanism can ensure smooth air circulation even when the fiber is wet, avoid the decrease in air permeability caused by pore blockage, and significantly improve the air permeability and wearing comfort of fiber products. In addition, the present invention introduces carbonized polymer particles to optimize fiber performance. The surface of carbonized polymer particles contains a variety of polar groups, which form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. The formation of hydrogen bonds is selective and directional. The particles specifically capture water molecules and bind them on the surface or inside, reducing the probability of free water accumulation and clogging pores, ensuring smooth pores. The surface of carbonized polymer particles also carries sulfonic acid groups, which are acidic and undergo ion exchange reactions with environmental cations, changing the charge distribution on the fiber surface and reducing the surface free energy. At the same time, the principle of capillary phenomenon shows that the free energy of the fiber surface is reduced, which promotes the diffusion of water along the axial or radial direction of the fiber and accelerates the evaporation of water.
[0026] In the scheme of the present invention, another core point is that through the construction of a multi-stage ultraviolet energy dissipation system, while ensuring that the textile has a strong anti-ultraviolet effect, its mechanical properties are significantly optimized and the service life of the fiber products is extended.
[0027] In the field of textile materials, current anti-ultraviolet fibers have the phenomenon of UV-humidity and heat synergistic degradation. The three environmental factors of ultraviolet radiation, humidity and temperature interact with each other. Especially under high temperature and high humidity conditions, ultraviolet energy stimulates the activity of fiber molecular chains and is easy to react chemically with water vapor. Increased humidity provides reactants, and high temperature accelerates the reaction rate. The three work together to accelerate fiber aging. Aging is manifested as a decrease in physical properties (such as strength and toughness) and chemical properties (such as anti-ultraviolet properties and dyeing properties), shortening the service life of fiber products. This technical solution constructs a ZnO@TiO2 core-shell heterojunction system with directional energy transfer characteristics through molecular engineering design and interface regulation technology, and realizes the topological epitaxial growth of TiO2 on the surface of ZnO nanocrystals through surface coordination chemical reactions. This special band structure induces a significant band bending effect, generates a built-in electric field under ultraviolet light, drives photogenerated electrons to migrate along the ZnO→TiO2 direction, and realizes carrier spatial separation. Compared with the pure ZnO system, the physical barrier effect of the TiO2 shell reduces the contact probability between ZnO and H2O / O2, and constructs a Schottky barrier at the same time. The height of the Schottky barrier induced by the TiO2 shell increases the activation energy that electron migration needs to overcome, inhibits electron-hole recombination, and prolongs the carrier lifetime. In addition, the surface oxygen vacancies act as electron traps to promote the disproportionation reaction of superoxide radicals and inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen. The present invention introduces a carbonized polymer to construct a Z-type heterojunction system. The surface plasmon resonance effect of the carbonized polymer enhances the separation efficiency of photogenerated electron-hole pairs and further promotes the dissipation of ultraviolet energy. Under ultraviolet light irradiation, the ZnO@TiO2 core-shell heterojunction system absorbs ultraviolet photons and excites the generation of electron-hole pairs. Due to the band bending effect, electrons are transferred from the conduction band of ZnO to the conduction band of TiO2, while holes remain in the valence band of ZnO. At the same time, the carbonized polymer particles act as electron acceptors to accept electrons from the conduction band of TiO2 to form a Z-type heterojunction system. This structure not only effectively separates electron-hole pairs, but also reduces the probability of electron-hole recombination, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of ultraviolet energy. In addition, the present invention uses γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane to perform molecular layer deposition on the fiber surface, and constructs a monolayer amino functionalized interface on the TiO2 surface through a hydrolysis condensation reaction (-Si-O-Ti-), thereby promoting interfacial charge transfer. At the same time, the modification process induces the generation of surface oxygen vacancies, forms new defect energy levels, and broadens the light response range.
[0028] In the scheme of the present invention, the last core point is to achieve the synergistic enhancement of the mechanical properties and functionality of the material by restricting the fiber spinning conditions.
[0029] In the prior art, adding functional additives to fibers often leads to problems such as deterioration of spinning processability and loss of fiber strength. Functional additives may produce complex interactions with fiber polymer molecules, including strong hydrogen bonding, electrostatic interactions, or steric hindrance effects. These interactions will interfere with the orderly arrangement and relative sliding of polymer molecular chains, resulting in significant changes in the melt viscosity of the material, which no longer meets the rheological properties required by the spinning process. This abnormal fluctuation in viscosity will cause melt rupture, uneven filaments, and increased breakage during the spinning process, seriously interfering with the continuity and stability of spinning. The introduction of functional additives may affect the strength of the fiber in many ways. On the one hand, the dispersion of additives inside the fiber is difficult to achieve an ideal uniform state, and it is easy to form local agglomerations or concentration gradients. These uneven areas become stress concentration points inside the fiber. Under the action of external forces, stress will preferentially concentrate in these weak parts, thereby initiating the initiation and expansion of cracks and reducing the overall strength of the fiber. On the other hand, the interfacial bonding between the functional additive and the fiber polymer may be insufficient. When subjected to external forces, debonding may easily occur at the interface, making it impossible for the fiber to effectively transmit and disperse stress, further weakening the fiber's load-bearing capacity. In addition, the chemical properties of the additive may be incompatible with the fiber polymer. During long-term use, it may trigger a chemical reaction, destroy the fiber's molecular chain structure, and cause the fiber strength to gradually decrease over time.
[0030] In the present invention, in order to improve the fiber structure and its performance, a three-leaf structure is constructed by adopting a special-shaped cross-section design to enhance the comprehensive performance of the fiber. The bending stiffness of the fiber is a key indicator to measure its ability to resist bending deformation, and has a decisive influence on the morphological retention and mechanical performance of the fiber in practical applications. The introduction of the three-leaf structure significantly increases the moment of inertia of the fiber by changing the cross-sectional geometry of the fiber, and the increase in the moment of inertia directly leads to an effective improvement in the bending stiffness of the fiber. In the fiber system involved in the present invention, although the addition of polyether block polyamide gives the fiber functional characteristics, it inevitably leads to a loss in the fiber modulus. The improvement in bending stiffness brought about by the three-leaf structure appropriately compensates for the modulus loss caused by the addition of polyether block polyamide, ensuring that the fiber can maintain a good balance of mechanical properties while having new functions.
[0031] In the present invention, a chemical reaction occurs between the amino group of the carbonized polymer and the carboxyl group at the end of the polyamide. The amino group has a strong nucleophilicity and can undergo a nucleophilic addition-elimination reaction with the carboxyl group at the end of the polyamide to eventually form a graft copolymer. The formation of the graft copolymer means that a tighter and more stable chemical bond connection is established between the carbonized polymer and the polyamide. Compared with simple physical mixing, this chemical bond connection greatly improves the interfacial bonding force between the two. The enhancement of the interfacial bonding force has many positive effects on the improvement of the overall performance of the fiber. It helps to achieve more effective stress transfer between different components, so that the fibers can work together as a whole when subjected to stress, avoiding performance degradation caused by interface debonding. This enhanced interfacial bonding force can improve the tensile strength, toughness and other mechanical performance indicators of the fiber, and may also have a positive indirect effect on the thermal stability, chemical corrosion resistance and other properties of the fiber, thereby comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of the fiber.
[0032] In addition, the present invention adopts multi-stage drawing-induced crystallization technology in the fiber forming process. The crystal morphology and structure have an impact on the physical and chemical properties of the fiber. Different crystal forms have different molecular arrangements and lattice parameters, which leads to significant differences in density, hardness, tensile strength, thermal stability and other aspects of the fiber. In the multi-stage drawing-induced crystallization process, the molecular chains of the first-stage drawing fibers are gradually arranged in an orderly manner, inducing the formation of α crystals. The α crystal usually has a relatively regular molecular arrangement structure, and its formation helps to preliminarily construct the crystal skeleton of the fiber, laying the foundation for subsequent crystal transformation and performance optimization. Subsequently, the second-stage drawing further plays a role on this basis, promoting the transformation of the β crystal, and having better flexibility and plasticity.
[0033] The advantages of the present invention are: by optimizing the ultraviolet protection performance of the fiber material and structure, the wet air permeability retention rate of the textile is improved, and the service life of the textile in extreme environments is extended.

[0055]
[0056] Analysis of the above characterization results Compared with Example 1, Example 2 increases the content of polyether block amide by carefully adjusting the raw material ratio, preparation conditions and spinning parameters, thereby enhancing the flexibility and elasticity of the fiber. This makes the fabric more comfortable and durable while maintaining high strength and UV resistance. At the same time, increasing the preparation temperature of the nanoparticles and shortening the aging time help to obtain nanoparticles with smaller particle size and more uniform distribution, thereby further improving the UV resistance of the fiber. In addition, adjusting the preparation conditions of the carbonized polymer particles, such as increasing the pyrolysis temperature and adjusting the pH value of the reaction environment, helps to improve the interface bonding between the carbonized polymer and the fiber polymer, thereby improving the overall performance of the fiber. In the spinning process, by increasing the monofilament diameter and adjusting the draft multiple, the crystal morphology and structure of the fiber can be further optimized, so that the fiber maintains good air permeability and hygroscopicity while maintaining excellent physical properties. These fine adjustments work together in the preparation process of the fiber, so that the UV-resistant textile material prepared in Example 2 is significantly improved in various performance indicators.

[0063]
[0064] Analysis of the above characterization results Compared with Example 1 and Example 2, Example 3 makes further adjustments in terms of raw material ratio, preparation conditions and spinning parameters to increase the content of polyether block amide, thereby enhancing the flexibility and elasticity of the fiber. This not only maintains the high strength and UV resistance of the fabric, but also makes it softer and more durable. At the same time, by increasing the preparation temperature of the nanoparticles and extending the aging time, it is helpful to obtain nanoparticles with suitable particle size and uniform distribution, thereby further enhancing its UV resistance while maintaining the high strength and toughness of the fiber. In addition, adjusting the preparation conditions of the carbonized polymer particles, such as increasing the pyrolysis temperature and further adjusting the pH value of the reaction environment, helps to further improve the interface bonding between the carbonized polymer and the fiber polymer, thereby improving the overall performance of the fiber. During the spinning process, by increasing the monofilament diameter and adjusting the draft multiple, the crystal morphology and structure of the fiber can be further optimized, so that the fiber maintains good air permeability and hygroscopicity while maintaining excellent physical properties.

[0067] After analyzing the above characterization data and comparing it with Example 2, it is found that pure polycaprolactam is used as the matrix material in the experimental setting of Comparative Example 1. The samples prepared in Comparative Example 1 show a downward trend in key mechanical performance indicators such as fracture strength, bending strength, tensile strength and elastic modulus. Fracture strength is used to measure the maximum stress that a material can withstand during the stretching process, reflecting the ability of the material to resist fracture damage; bending strength reflects the bearing capacity of the material when subjected to bending load; tensile strength intuitively shows the ultimate bearing performance of the material under the action of axial tensile force; elastic modulus characterizes the ratio of stress to strain of the material within the elastic deformation range, reflecting the ability of the material to resist elastic deformation. In Comparative Example 1, these important performance indicators are reduced to varying degrees compared with Example 2. The results show that in the preparation process of the textile material, the present invention can have a positive impact on the microstructure and intermolecular interaction inside the material by introducing polyether block amide and accurately adjusting the ratio between the raw materials. This effect can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the textile material, so that the material shows more excellent toughness and durability in practical applications.
[0068] Comparative Example 2: A method for preparing an anti-ultraviolet textile material. The specific preparation method is the same as that of Example 2. In this example, only the core-shell structure of the nanoparticles is changed. Group A uses an equal amount of TiO2 spherical particles to replace the modified nanoparticles, and Group B uses an equal amount of ordinary TiO2 / ZnO physical mixed particles with a particle size of 200 nm to replace the modified nanoparticles. The same partial performance tests as in Example 2 are performed, and the specific characterization results are as follows.
[0069]
[0070] Analyzing the above characterization results, both Group A and Group B showed a significant decrease in wet UPF value, strength retention rate after wet heat aging, and UPF value after 50 washes. After Group A used TiO2 spherical particles to replace the modified nanoparticles, the wet UPF value dropped to 45.2, the strength retention rate after wet heat aging dropped to 68%, and the UPF value after 50 washes dropped to 36.5. After Group B used ordinary TiO2 / ZnO physical mixed particles with a particle size of 200 nm to replace the modified nanoparticles, the performance indicators dropped more significantly, the wet UPF value was only 33.4, the strength retention rate after wet heat aging was only 51%, and the UPF value after 50 washes was only 33.3. In the functionalized core-shell nanocomposite system described in the present invention, the multi-scale synergistic protection mechanism with ZnO@TiO2 heterojunction nanocrystals as the core realizes the synergistic optimization of ultraviolet shielding efficiency, material durability and wet heat stability. In the present invention, the band engineering regulation of the heterojunction interface is used to promote the effective separation and cross-interface directional migration of photogenerated electron-hole pairs through the heterojunction channel, significantly improving the absorption and conversion efficiency of ultraviolet photons. Secondly, the strain buffering effect of the core-shell structure and the geometric strengthening effect of the trilobal shaped fibers jointly construct a multi-level stress dissipation network. The wet-heat cycle experiment verified that the composite system exhibited excellent creep resistance. Finally, the present invention uses a silane coupling agent-mediated surface grafting modification to achieve covalent bonding of nanoparticles and polymer matrices. This chemical bonding mechanism effectively suppresses the interfacial debonding phenomenon under wet-heat conditions.
[0071] Comparative Example 3: A commercially available UV-resistant textile material, whose main component is nylon, was subjected to the same partial performance tests as in Example 2, and the specific characterization results are as follows.
[0072]
[0073] Analyzing the above characterization results, all the test data of commercially available anti-ultraviolet textile materials are lower than those of the materials prepared in Example 2. The static pore structure of commercially available anti-ultraviolet textile materials causes a sharp attenuation of wet air permeability. In addition, the single ultraviolet shielding mechanism triggers the recombination of photogenerated carriers, accelerates the photo-oxidative degradation of the polymer matrix, and affects the service life of the fabric. In the present invention, the textile is provided with a pore maintenance effect by optimizing the raw materials, so that the textile has a ventilation mechanism that is less affected by humidity. And by constructing a multi-stage ultraviolet energy dissipation system, while ensuring that the textile has a strong anti-ultraviolet effect, its mechanical properties are significantly optimized, and the service life of the fiber product is extended. Finally, the synergistic enhancement of the mechanical properties and functionality of the material is achieved by restricting the fiber spinning conditions. Not only is the wet air permeability retention rate of the textile improved, but also the service life of the textile in extreme environments is extended.
