Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of polyester fibers, and in particular to a high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Polyester is a fiber-forming polymer made from dimethyl 1,4-phthalate and ethylene glycol through esterification or transesterification and polycondensation reactions; polyester fiber is also the most widely used and most widely consumed synthetic fiber. The ester group and benzene ring of polyester form a rigid conjugated system, restricting the free rotation of the flexible aliphatic hydrocarbon group. Therefore, compared with other fibers, polyester fiber has the advantages of a higher melting point, greater rigidity, and higher strength. However, the strength of ordinary polyester still cannot meet the industrial demand for high-strength products such as curtain fabrics, outdoor canvas, and military fabrics. In addition, due to the high geometric regularity and high crystallinity of the polyester molecular structure, it is difficult to modify, which limits the improvement of its waterproof function and makes it difficult to use as an outdoor fabric.

[0003] Patent application CN103088460A discloses a high-strength industrial polyester fiber and its preparation method. The polyester fiber comprises a PET matrix and Ti dispersed in the PET matrix. x (OR 1 O) y (OOCC6H4COO) z H4. By introducing lamellar nanomaterials into the PET matrix, the mechanical properties are improved by inducing orientation of the PET molecular chains during processing. However, the synthetic polyester fibers are highly chemically inert and cannot be modified with water-repellent materials. This results in a lack of water-repellency and poor suitability for outdoor use.

[0004] In view of the technical defects in this aspect, a solution is now proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use and a preparation method thereof, so as to solve the technical problems of poor mechanical properties and poor waterproof ability of outdoor polyester fibers in the prior art.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solution: A method for preparing high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. The modified polyester masterbatch is vacuum dried and added to a screw extruder for melt extrusion at a screw box temperature of 265-275°C, and then spun and stretched to obtain filaments; the filaments are cooled and solidified to synthesize modified polyester fibers;

[0008] S2. The modified polyester fiber is added to a water-repellent finishing liquid for post-finishing at a bath ratio of 1:25-30 to obtain a finished polyester fiber; the finished polyester fiber is dried and baked to obtain a high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S1, the method for preparing the modified polyester masterbatch comprises the following steps:

[0010] A1. Dissolve eucommia gum in toluene, then add rosin and an initiator to obtain a mixture; react the mixture at 75-85° C. for 4-6 hours to obtain a product; and perform post-processing on the product to prepare a composite elastomer;

[0011] A2, dimethyl 1,4-phthalate, ethylene glycol, and a catalyst are added to the transesterification kettle, which is heated to 190-195°C and reacted at this temperature for 2-3 hours. The transesterification rate is determined to be 80-85% based on the amount of distilled methanol, which indicates the completion of the first reaction stage. The composite elastomer is then added to the transesterification kettle, and esterification is continued at a constant temperature for 1-2 hours, which indicates the completion of the second reaction stage to obtain an intermediate.

[0012] A3. Add a stabilizer to the intermediate and distill off excess ethylene glycol to obtain a reacted material; the reacted material is subjected to post-processing to prepare a modified polyester masterbatch.

[0013] The present invention utilizes an intermittent transesterification polycondensation process to prepare a modified polyester masterbatch. The polycondensation process can be divided into a first stage and a second stage. In the first stage, dimethyl 1,4-phthalate and ethylene glycol undergo an ester exchange reaction to produce an intermediate and release methanol; the ethylene glycol is slightly in excess. In the second stage, the carboxyl groups of the composite elastomer continue to react with the alcoholic hydroxyl groups of the intermediate to produce a modified polyester masterbatch modified with the composite elastomer.

[0014] Furthermore, in step A1, the initiator is dibenzoyl peroxide; the usage ratio of eucommia gum, toluene, rosin and initiator is 5-10g:200-400mL:5-12g:0.5-1g; the post-processing step includes: placing the product in anhydrous ethanol for precipitation to obtain a precipitate; washing the precipitate with ethanol, and then drying to remove the toluene solvent to obtain a composite elastomer.

[0015] Furthermore, in step A2, the catalyst is tetrabutyl titanate, the amount ratio of dimethyl 1,4-phthalate, ethylene glycol and composite elastomer is 19.4-38.8g:12-24g:10-25g, and the amount of catalyst is 50-80ppm of dimethyl 1,4-phthalate; in step A3, the stabilizer is trimethyl phosphate, the amount of intermediate is 35-75g, and the amount of stabilizer is 40-100ppm of dimethyl 1,4-phthalate; the post-processing steps include: transferring the reacted material to a polycondensation kettle with nitrogen, and conducting a polycondensation reaction under vacuum; after the polycondensation reaction is completed, obtaining a product; using nitrogen to extrude all the product, casting and pelletizing, to obtain a modified polyester masterbatch.

[0016] Furthermore, in step S1, the vacuum drying temperature is 115-135° C., the vacuum drying time is 3-4 hours, the spinning speed is 1000-1500 m / min, and the stretching ratio is 2-4 times.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S2, the preparation method of the water-repellent finishing liquid comprises the following steps:

[0018] B1. Add dye powder to NaOH solution and stir at 60-70°C until the dye powder is completely dissolved to obtain a powder solution;

[0019] B2. Deionized water, copper chloride, and zinc chloride are sequentially added to the powder solution to obtain a dye powder solution; wherein the concentration of the dye powder is 10-15 g / L, the concentration of the copper chloride is 1-5 g / L, and the concentration of the zinc chloride is 1-5 g / L, and the dye powder solution is then subjected to high-speed shear emulsification to obtain an organically coordinated metal ion solution;

[0020] B3. Preheat trichlorosilane to 150-200°C to obtain preheated gas; heat the reactor to 200-220°C, and pass the preheated gas into the reactor until the reactor is filled with trichlorosilane gas; then spray the organically coordinated metal ion solution into the reactor, carry out constant temperature circulation reaction for 2-3 hours, and then cool to room temperature. Collect the liquid to obtain the prepared water-repellent finishing liquid.

[0021] Furthermore, in step B1, the concentration of the NaOH solution is 0.1 mol / L, the high-speed shearing speed is 1000-2000 r / min, and the emulsification time is 20-30 min; in step B2, the reactor volume is 500 mL, and the amount of the organically coordinated metal ion solution is 30-50 mL.

[0022] Furthermore, in step S2, the post-finishing adopts a two-immersion and two-rolling process with a rolling rate of 90-95%; the drying temperature is 90-100°C and the drying time is 10-15 minutes; the baking temperature is 110-120°C and the baking time is 3-5 minutes.

[0023] As another aspect of the present invention, a method for preparing high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use is provided to prepare high-strength waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use.

[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. This invention uses dimethyl 1,4-phthalate and ethylene glycol as monomers to synthesize a polyester masterbatch. An appropriate amount of composite elastomer is added during toughening modification. The composite elastomer is an addition product of eucommia gum and rosin. The main component of natural eucommia gum is trans-1,4-polyisoprene; the chemical components of rosin are primarily abietic acid, neoabietic acid, l-alginic acid, and palustric acid, containing various functional groups such as conjugated double bonds and carboxyl groups. In the presence of an initiator and using toluene as a solvent, eucommia gum and rosin undergo a double bond addition reaction to synthesize the composite elastomer. By adding an appropriate amount of elastomer during the polyester masterbatch synthesis process, the toughness of the resulting polyester masterbatch can be significantly improved. Furthermore, both rosin and natural eucommia gum are non-toxic to humans and organisms, making them exemplary environmentally friendly materials.

[0026] 2. Cochineal carmine, an anthraquinone-based natural dye, contains polyhydroxy and polycarboxyl functional groups, capable of forming salts with polyvalent metal ions, thereby synthesizing organically coordinated metal ions with copper and zinc ions. When trichlorosilane is introduced into a solution of organically coordinated metal ions, it undergoes further hydrolysis under high temperature and thermal cycling conditions, chelating the metal ions and producing a water-repellent finish containing polysilicon, polymetallic ions, and polyhydroxycarboxyl groups. This water-repellent finish is then applied to the modified polyester fiber for post-finishing. The carboxyl functional groups of the composite elastomer in the modified polyester fiber react with the polyol hydroxyl functional groups in the water-repellent finish, thereby enhancing the fastness of the finish in the modified polyester fiber and improving its water resistance and mechanical properties. After a double drying process, a high-strength, waterproof polyester fiber for outdoor use is produced. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0081] Table 1. Sample performance test data

[0082]

[0083] Performance Testing: Analysis of the data in Table 1 shows that the modified polyester masterbatches prepared in Examples 1-3 of the present invention exhibit excellent mechanical properties, as demonstrated by high values ​​for breaking strength and elongation at break.

[0085] 2. The high-strength polyester fabrics prepared in Examples 10-12 and Comparative Examples 4-6 were cut into 1 cm × 2 cm specimens and fixed on a glass slide for testing. Water was ejected from a needle and dropped onto the fabric. Each fabric sample was tested three times to obtain the average water contact angle.

[0086] 3. Sequentially immerse the high-strength polyester fabrics prepared in Examples 10-12 and Comparative Examples 4-6 in 2 g / L soap solution, with a bath ratio of 1:50, at 40°C, and wash with shaking water for 10 min, followed by washing with clean water for 2 min. The above soaping is completed once, and repeated 5 times. The fabric is dried and the water repellency is measured.

[0087] 4. In accordance with GB / T3923.1-2013 "Tensile Properties of Textile Fabrics," the high-strength polyester fabrics prepared in Examples 10-12 and Comparative Examples 4-6 were subjected to tensile strength tests using a YG026MB-250 electronic tensile testing machine. The tensile speed was 100 mm / min, the sample spacing was 200 nm, and each sample was tested five times to obtain the average value. The specific test results are shown in the table below:

[0089]

[0090] Data Analysis: A comparative analysis of the data in the above table shows that the high-strength waterproof outdoor polyester fibers (Examples 10-12) prepared using the high-strength waterproof outdoor polyester fibers (Examples 7-9) of the present invention exhibit excellent water repellency, as evidenced by large water contact angles and high water repellency ratings. However, in Comparative Example 5 (using the water-repellent finishing solution prepared in Comparative Example 2), the organically coordinated metal ion solution did not further chelate with the trichlorosilane hydrolyzate to form an organosilicon polymer, thereby reducing the water repellency of the prepared high-strength waterproof outdoor polyester fibers, as evidenced by a lower water contact angle and a decreased water repellency rating.

[0091] When preparing a water-repellent finish, chelated metal ions act as a "mediator" to connect the cochineal carmine and trichlorosilane hydrolyzate in the finish. In Comparative Example 6 (using the water-repellent finish prepared in Comparative Example 3), copper chloride and zinc chloride were omitted. This resulted in the dispersion of the components of the finished finish, resulting in poor water repellency, poor washability, and a low water repellency rating.

[0092] Compared to the eucommia gum and rosin mixture, the composite elastomer itself significantly improves the mechanical properties of the polyester fiber produced. In Comparative Example 4 (using the water-repellent finishing liquid prepared in Comparative Example 1), replacing the composite elastomer with an equal mass of eucommia gum and rosin mixture resulted in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the high-strength polyester fabric produced in Comparative Example 4.
