Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of latex, and specifically to a preparation method of an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow. Background Art
[0002] Regarding the manufacturing process of latex foaming materials or latex pillow cores, the current main process is to chemically foam natural latex. However, the odor contained in the chemical foaming agent affects the visual experience of using the latex pillow, and the natural latex after chemical foaming is prone to deformation and has insufficient support. With the continuous improvement of living standards, people are paying more and more attention to hygienic, safe, and healthy products, and functional latex products are becoming more and more popular among consumers. Due to the accelerating pace of life and relatively high life pressure nowadays, the number of people with poor sleep quality or even insomnia throughout the night is gradually increasing. Therefore, sleep - aiding pillows have emerged.
[0003] In addition, the pillow will show yellowish marks after being used for a long time. The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: dust is easily accumulated on the surface of the pillow, and the humidity, temperature, and sealing degree of the pillow are all conducive to the growth and reproduction of bacteria and fungi. Ordinary latex pillows do not have antibacterial and dust - proofing effects, and are extremely prone to yellowing during use. Moreover, long - term cleaning of the latex pillow will cause damage to its internal structure, shortening its lifespan and usage effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above - mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow, comprising natural latex, modified silica, aromatic particles, vulcanizing agent, and gelling agent.
[0006] Further, the modified silica consists of 4 - trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde, silica, m - phenylenediamine - 4 - sulfonic acid sodium salt, triphosgene, and a protein mixture; the protein mixture is natural silk fibroin and collagen.
[0007] Further, the aromatic particles are obtained by spraying an essential oil composition on graphene aerogel microcapsules and then encapsulating them with cyclodextrin; the essential oil composition is prepared by mixing tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil.
[0008] Further, a preparation method of an antibacterial and sleep - aiding latex pillow includes the following preparation steps: (1)Mix pre-treated silica, sodium 4-sulfonatophenylenediamine, and absolute ethanol at a mass ratio of 0.15:0.2 - 0.4:15.8. After stirring at 100 - 200 rpm for 20 min, add 5 drops of glacial acetic acid. React at 65 - 72 °C for 1.5 - 2.0 h, then cool to room temperature, filter by suction, take the filter cake, wash it 3 times with ethanol, and dry it at 70 °C for 24 h to obtain Schiff base silica; (2)Mix solid phosgene particles and toluene at a mass ratio of 1:8.

Under nitrogen protection, seal and react for 24 h to obtain a polymer solution. Open the seal, add aromatic microspheres that are 0.1 - 0.2 times the mass of the polymer solution. Stir at 400 - 600 rpm for 10 min, then seal and let it stand for 3 d. Place it in a Soxhlet extractor and extract with distilled water for 48 h. Place it in the refrigerator, pre-freeze for 24 h, then freeze at -50 °C for 3 - 4 h, and grind through a 100-mesh sieve to obtain aromatic particles; (5)Mix natural latex and modified silica at a mass ratio of 50:2 - 5. Under stirring at 200 - 400 rpm, add hydrochloric acid until the pH of the system is 2.7, then stop stirring. React at 60 °C for 3 - 5 h, and then add sulfur, potassium oleate, ricinoleic acid, coconut fatty acid, and aromatic particles at a mass ratio of 4 - 9:1 - 3:0.5 - 2:0.5 - 1:2 - 8. The mass ratio of sulfur to natural latex is 2 - 4:50.

[0009] Further, the preparation method of the pretreated silica in step (1) is as follows: Mix silica and absolute ethanol at a mass ratio of 1:23.7, disperse them by ultrasonic wave at 400 - 600W for 10 min, add an aqueous silane solution which is 10 - 18 times the mass of the silica. The mass ratio of 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde to deionized water in the aqueous silane solution is 1:2. After stirring evenly, react at 60 - 70 °C for 2 - 3 h, then wash with absolute ethanol and filter by suction until the filtrate is clear and transparent. Take the filter cake and dry it at 70 °C for 24 h.
[0010] Further, the particle size of the silica is 60 - 100 μm.
[0011] Further, the mass ratio of natural silk fibroin, collagen, and ice water in the protein aqueous solution in step (3) is 3:1:55.
[0012] Further, the preparation method of the aromatic microspheres in step (4) is as follows: Spray a plant essential oil composition which is 0.05 - 0.2 times the mass of the graphene aerogel microspheres on the graphene aerogel microspheres. Spray it in 3 times. After each spraying, place it in the refrigerator and freeze for 30 - 60 min, then tumble the graphene aerogel microspheres once and continue spraying. After the spraying is completed, place it in the refrigerator and freeze for 24 h.
[0013] Further, the mass ratio of tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil in the plant essential oil composition is 0.3 - 1:1:1:0.1 - 0.4.
[0014] Further, the particle size of the graphene aerogel microspheres is 50 - 100 μm.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: The present invention uses natural latex, modified silica, and aromatic particles as the main raw materials, with the help of modified silica as a nucleating agent, and obtains a latex pillow through supercritical foaming to achieve the effects of antibacterial, anti-dust adhesion, sleep aid, and anti-allergy.
[0016] First, the present invention adopts the silicon oxygen bond of 4-trimethoxysilyl butyraldehyde to be grafted on the surface of silica, and then, the aldehyde group is used to react with the amino group of sodium m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonate to form a Schiff base antibacterial group, which effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria; then, the remaining unreacted amino group reacts with solid phosgene to introduce isocyanate groups, so that it can react with the amino group, hydroxyl group and other active groups of silk fibroin and collagen, and then the protein is grafted on the surface of silica. Since silk fibroin and collagen have excellent biocompatibility, they can promote the compatibility of modified silica with natural rubber, reduce the defects between chains, and strengthen the performance of latex molecular chains. In addition, silk fibroin and collagen contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which can adsorb the hydrophilic groups in the environment. Trace amounts of moisture form a molecular conductive layer, which improves antistatic properties and prevents the adsorption of charged dust. The side chain is connected to a sulfonic acid group-metal ion bond, which can decomplex to generate positive and negative ions for ionic conductivity, thereby improving the ability to prevent dust from being contaminated. At the same time, silk fibroin has certain antibacterial properties and can work together with Schiff base to improve the antibacterial ability of latex pillows. Then, the modified silica relies on the protein mixture in the molecular chain to coagulate with natural latex, and wraps the modified silica particle layer on the surface of the natural latex particles. During the vulcanization and foaming process, the two are unsealed and then cross-linked to form an interpenetrating network structure, which improves the mechanical properties of the latex pillow. At the same time, the introduction of silk fibroin and collagen greatly reduces the allergic nature of natural latex.
[0017] Secondly, tangerine peel essential oil can achieve a calming effect, rose essential oil has the effects of regulating qi and relieving depression, and can effectively relieve insomnia, lavender has a calming and tranquilizing effect, and Chinese jujube seed oil has a calming and hypnotic effect. These essential oils are mixed, sprayed on graphene aerogel microspheres, and penetrate into the microspheres along the pores. The essential oil components all contain unsaturated double bonds, which can form π-π conjugation with the unsaturated double bonds on graphene, thereby fixing the essential oil in the graphene and achieving a sustained release effect. Cyclodextrin is then used to encapsulate the microspheres to prevent the aromatic particles from being released in the natural environment. When in use, the cyclodextrin is subjected to external pressure, which reduces the inclusion effect, allowing the essential oil to be released, which promotes the user's sleep. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] Comparative Example 5 The difference between Comparative Example 5 and Example 2 is that step (5) is absent, and step (6) is changed to: Dissolve β-cyclodextrin in distilled water that is 50 times the mass of β-cyclodextrin, add a plant essential oil composition at a wall-core ratio of 3:1. The mass ratio of tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, and wild jujube seed oil in the plant essential oil composition is 0.3:1:1:0.1. After stirring at 40°C and 400 rpm for 3 h, let it stand for precipitation for 12 h, perform suction filtration, and dry at 60°C for 5 h to obtain aromatic particles.
[0031] Effect Example Table 1 below shows the performance analysis results of the antibacterial sleep-aiding latex pillows of Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention and Comparative Examples 1 to 5.
[0032] Table 1 From the comparison of the rebound test data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the modified silica used in the present invention can wrap the natural latex particles. During the vulcanization and foaming process, the two are unsealed and then cross-linked to form an interpenetrating network structure, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the latex pillow; from the comparison of the antibacterial rate experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the present invention uses 4-trimethoxysilylbutyraldehyde, sodium m-phenylenediamine-4-sulfonate and protein mixture as raw materials to modify silica, so that Schiff base and silk protein are introduced into its surface, which work together to improve the antibacterial ability of the latex pillow; from the comparison of the sleep aid and usage time experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the tangerine peel essential oil, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, acid essential oil used in the present invention Jujube seed oil has an excellent sleep-inducing effect. At the same time, graphene aerogel microspheres can play a fixing role and enhance the sustained-release effect. At the same time, cyclodextrin encapsulation can prevent the essential oil from volatilizing at high temperature during the vulcanization process, thereby improving the sleep-inducing and sustained-release effects. From the comparison of the anti-dust and resistivity experimental data of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the present invention introduces a sulfonic acid group-metal ion bond on the surface of silica, which can decomplex and generate positive and negative ions for ion conduction, thereby improving the anti-dust ability. At the same time, silk protein and collagen contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, which can improve the hydrophilicity of natural latex, effectively adsorb trace moisture in the environment, form a molecular conductive layer, improve antistatic properties, and prevent the adsorption of charged dust.
