Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical fields of fiber surface reconstruction and low-temperature dyeing, and in particular to a low-temperature dyeing processing method for hydrophilic modified polyester fibers. Background Art

[0002] Polyester fiber, also known as polyester, is a synthetic fiber with high crystallinity. It can be spun using conventional processing techniques, requiring no specialized equipment or techniques. It exhibits high strength, good abrasion resistance, excellent elasticity, and resistance to chemical, heat, and chemical corrosion. The resulting yarn and fabric possess excellent hand feel and drape. It has broad application prospects in various industries, including clothing, home textiles, and footwear. It is also widely used in automotive and industrial applications.

[0003] Low-temperature dyeing technology currently offers numerous advantages over traditional dyeing. Typically performed at lower temperatures, low-temperature dyeing reduces dye usage and the emission of hazardous substances, lowering production costs while also reducing environmental pollution. Dyeing at low temperatures reduces damage to fibers caused by high temperatures, preserving their mechanical properties. Furthermore, low-temperature dyeing improves dye substantivity and color fixation, enhancing product quality, and further increasing equipment utilization and production efficiency, resulting in substantial economic benefits for businesses.

[0004] However, polyester fibers have two significant drawbacks: First, they have poor dyeability. The lack of specific dyeing groups on the chains and their low polarity make dyeing difficult and difficult, preventing dye molecules from easily entering the fibers. Second, they have poor hydrophilicity, lacking water absorption and water affinity, and lacking comfort. Polyester fiber's tightly packed macromolecular chains, high crystallinity and orientation, low polarity, and lack of hydrophilic groups make traditional dyeing and post-processing processes cumbersome and inefficient. Dyeing requires high temperatures and pressures, and the use of numerous chemical additives creates significant environmental pollution and produces less vibrant colors.

[0005] Deep eutectic solvents (DES), analogs of ionic liquids, are non-polluting, biodegradable, and easily prepared high-efficiency solvents. The research aims to modify polyester using DES to etch and reconstruct its surface without damaging its internal structure and mechanical properties, resulting in highly hydrophilic and biocompatible polyester materials. Furthermore, the modified polyester can be dyed at low temperatures and atmospheric pressure, achieving dyeing efficiencies comparable to those achieved at high temperatures and high pressures.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology for improving the cell affinity of the surface of polyester tissue engineering materials has bottlenecks such as complex processes, unsatisfactory results, high costs under high temperature and high pressure dyeing conditions, and high pollution, which need to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0044] In the present invention, the operation process of low temperature dyeing is:

[0045] Weigh 1g of modified hydrophilic polyester fiber, which requires 2-3% dye (based on fabric weight). The required amount of liquid dye is calculated using the solid content. An appropriate amount of water (pH 5) is added at a bath-to-cloth ratio of 50:1, and the fiber is then placed in an infrared dyeing machine. The dyeing temperature profile is to increase the temperature from room temperature to 110-120°C at a rate of 2°C / min, maintain this temperature for 60 minutes, and then cool back to room temperature at a rate of 2°C / min. Afterwards, the fiber is rinsed with a reducing detergent consisting of 2g / L sodium hydroxide and 2g / L sodium dithionite at a bath ratio of 1:100.

[0046] The following is an explanation through specific examples:

The required amount of liquid dye is calculated using the solid content. An appropriate amount of pH 5 acetic acid aqueous solution is added to the dye mixture at a 50:1 bath-to-cloth ratio (i.e., the mass ratio of dye mixture to modified hydrophilic polyester fiber is 50g:1g). The resulting mixture is then placed in an infrared dyeing machine. The dyeing temperature profile is: heating at room temperature to 110°C at a rate of 2°C / min, maintaining this temperature for 60 minutes, and then cooling to room temperature at a rate of 2°C / min.

After rinsing, the fabric is dried at 60°C before testing.

Afterwards, the fiber is cleaned with a reducing detergent consisting of 2g / L sodium hydroxide and 2g / L sodium dithionite at a bath ratio of 1:100. After cleaning, the fiber is dried at 60°C and tested.

[0059] Surface micromorphology test of treated polyester fibers:

[0060] From the SEM of the original polyester fiber, we can see that Figure 1As shown in Figures ad, it can be clearly observed that the surface structure of the original polyester fiber (Figures a and b) is dense and smooth, lacking obvious rough features, and no swelling, thinning, broken fibers, or fiber splitting occurs, indicating that the fiber is not damaged or slightly damaged. However, the surface of the fiber treated with DES (Figures c and d) shows obvious etching features, accompanied by cracks, particle accumulation, and multi-level pore structures. This change in morphology indicates that DES has a strong etching ability on the polyester surface, which can destroy the original molecular chain arrangement and induce local swelling or dissolution, thereby forming a multi-level structure. This structural change not only helps to significantly increase the specific surface area of the material, but also provides more active sites for subsequent interface modification.

[0061] Polyester fiber mechanical properties test:

[0062] The electronic strength meter was used to compare the breaking strength of polyester fibers treated with different alkali concentrations. The results are as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the stress-strain curves show that the original polyester fabric has high tensile strength and good ductility, while the samples treated with DES show varying degrees of mechanical property degradation under different treatment conditions. Example 2 maintains good mechanical properties, indicating that the treatment conditions impart functionality to the polyester fabric surface while maintaining the integrity of the fiber structure. In contrast, the treatment intensity in Example 3 is too high, resulting in damage to the fiber structure and a significant deterioration in mechanical properties.

[0063] Hydrophilicity test of polyester fabric:

[0064] The static and dynamic contact angles of polyester fabrics were tested using a video contact angle tensiometer. Figure 3 As shown, the contact angle of a water droplet on the original polyester fabric surface remained at 130.6°, indicating strong hydrophobicity. However, after DES treatment, the contact angle rapidly dropped from 127.3° to 0°, achieving complete spreading in just 2 seconds, demonstrating superhydrophilic behavior. This phenomenon suggests that DES etching not only effectively alters the surface microstructure but also may introduce polar functional groups, significantly improving the wettability of the polyester surface.

[0065] Dyeing performance test of polyester fabric:

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is obvious that the modified PET has a significant improvement in color depth compared to the original PET at different dyeing temperatures, whether dyed with Disperse Orange 30 or Disperse Blue 79. In contrast, DES-PET can achieve a color depth at 110 or 120°C similar to that achieved by PET at 130°C.

[0067] In order to further analyze the dyeing performance of polyester before and after surface reconstruction, the K / S value was used to quantify the dyeing depth. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the K / S value of DES-PET dyed orange at 120°C is similar to that of original PET dyed orange at 130°C, while the K / S value of DES-PET dyed blue at 120°C is much higher than that of original PET dyed blue at 130°C. Furthermore, the K / S value of DES-PET dyed at 120°C is much higher than that of DES-PLA dyed at other temperatures. This indicates that the K / S value is proportional to the dyeing temperature within a certain range. Untreated polyester fabric achieves an ideal dyeing depth only at a higher temperature (130°C), while DES-treated polyester samples achieve significantly higher K / S values at lower temperatures (110°C and 120°C), indicating that the improved surface structure and wettability effectively promote the adsorption and penetration of dye molecules. Surface DES (deep eutectic solvent) treatment offers significant advantages in achieving efficient low-temperature dyeing of polyester, significantly improving the K / S value of fabric dyeing with lower energy consumption.

[0068] Table 1 shows the color parameters of the modified hydrophilic polyester fiber. It can be clearly seen that the K / S value increases with the increase of temperature, showing a positive relationship. The K / S value of DES-PET is higher than that of the original PET at the same temperature. Moreover, the K / S value of DES-PET dyed with two different dyes at 120℃ is higher than that of the original PET dyed at 130℃. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 Correspondingly, it shows that it has completed effective modification and achieved the dyeing advantages of low temperature and low energy consumption. Table 1
