Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of layered composite fabrics, and in particular to a bionic breathable composite material based on a microporous nanofiber membrane. Background Art

[0002] Genuine leather fabric is to take animal hide as raw material, is processed through the operation such as tanning, has the characteristics such as breathable, soft, wear-resistant, warmth-keeping, is deeply loved.But, due to the high cost of raw materials, expensive, and widely used is restricted.Synthetic leather is a kind of as imitation leather material, can approach the texture of genuine leather, and with low cost, good waterproofness, especially microfiber leather, obtains common application.Microfiber leather adopts microfiber (usually terylene or nylon) and polyurethane composite to make, has the characteristics such as soft and delicate hand feel, wear resistance height.In the prior art, adopting microfiber leather base cloth is immersed in polyurethane solution more, or is coated with polyurethane solution, also forms polyurethane film layer and prepares microfiber leather, but continuous film layer can affect the air permeability of microfiber leather.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN119392494A discloses a method for preparing microporous, moisture-heat migration-resistant microfiber synthetic leather based on waterborne polyurethane. The method involves immersing a microfiber leather base fabric in a nano-waterborne polyurethane solution and padding it to produce the microfiber synthetic leather. During the preparation process, nano-SiO2 is doped into the aqueous polyurethane solution, and then an alkali solution reacts with the SiO2 to form pores to improve the breathability of the microfiber synthetic leather. However, this method suffers from uneven pore formation caused by the uneven doping of the SiO2 with the polyurethane solution. Furthermore, polyurethane, particularly polyester-type polyurethane, has poor alkali resistance and is susceptible to molecular chain breakage and strength loss under the action of alkali solution. Chinese patent application CN112430911B discloses a method for preparing a nanofiber biomimetic membrane with a simulated leather grain surface layer. Using an electrospinning process, polyurethane is applied to the surface of a second leather layer to form a membrane layer with a nanofiber network structure, addressing the problem of a missing second leather grain surface layer. However, the molecular structure and performance characteristics of the polyurethane are not disclosed, making it impossible to predict its waterproof properties and dyeing effect. If the polyurethane film layer is not waterproof, on the one hand, water will penetrate into the material; on the other hand, if the polyurethane absorbs water and swells, it will cause pore blockage and reduce air permeability.

[0114] Step 3: Using a needle-punched microfiber non-woven fabric as a receiver, the spinning solution was heated to 50°C, and a microporous nanofiber membrane was formed on one surface of the needle-punched microfiber non-woven fabric by an electrospinning process, and then dried in a vacuum drying oven at 50°C for 10 hours. Then, a microporous nanofiber membrane was formed on the other surface of the needle-punched microfiber non-woven fabric by an electrospinning process, and then dried in a vacuum drying oven at 50°C for 10 hours to obtain a bionic breathable composite material based on a microporous nanofiber membrane.

[0118] Test example

[0119] The performance tests of the biomimetic breathable composite materials based on microporous nanofiber membranes prepared in the examples and comparative examples were carried out:

[0120] (1) Waterproof performance: The static water contact angles of the polyurethane grain layers of the biomimetic breathable composite materials based on microporous nanofiber membranes prepared in Examples 2-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were measured with reference to the standard GB / T30693-2014 “Measurement of the contact angle of plastic films with water”. The measurement results are shown in Table 1:

[0121] Table 1

[0122]

[0123] As shown in Table 1, the biomimetic breathable composite material based on microporous nanofiber membranes prepared by the present invention exhibits excellent waterproof properties. First, the introduction of the fluorine-containing polyol perfluoropolyether diol and the silicone-containing polyol hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane significantly enhances the polyurethane's waterproof properties. Second, the addition of hydrophobic silica improves the polyurethane's mechanical and waterproof properties. The amino groups introduced by the hydrophobic silica during modification react with isocyanate, achieving bonding with the polyurethane molecules. This improves the uniformity of its dispersion in the polyurethane spinning solution and enhances the polyurethane's waterproof properties. Finally, the hydrophobic hydrocarbon chains introduced into the chain extender, dodecylbis(hydroxyethyl)methylammonium chloride, further enhance the polyurethane's waterproof properties. Compared with Example 2, in Comparative Example 1, the hydrophobic silica has not been modified, the dispersion uniformity in the polyurethane spinning solution is poor, and the waterproof effect is slightly reduced; in Comparative Example 2, the polyol does not contain perfluoropolyether diol and hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane, and the formed polyurethane does not contain fluorine element and silicone, and the waterproof performance is greatly reduced; in Comparative Example 2, the chain extender is replaced by dodecyl bis (hydroxyethyl) methyl ammonium chloride with 1,4-butanediol, which lacks the hydrophobic effect of the hydrocarbon chain and the waterproof performance is reduced.

[0124] (2) Dyeing performance: The biomimetic breathable composite materials based on microporous nanofiber membranes prepared in Examples 2-6 and Comparative Examples 1-3 were subjected to dyeing tests. The composite materials were immersed in a dye solution (1 wt% reactive brilliant red aqueous solution) for dyeing at a bath ratio of 1:10, a dyeing temperature of 90°C, and a dyeing time of 2 h. After dyeing, the composite materials were dried at 100°C and then baked at 140°C for 5 min. The wet rubbing fastness of the dyed composite materials was measured with reference to the standard GB / T3920-2008 "Textiles - Tests for Colour Fastness - Colour Fastness to Rubbing". The test results are shown in Table 2:

[0125] Table 2

[0126]

[0127] As shown in Table 2, the biomimetic breathable composite material based on microporous nanofiber membrane prepared by the present invention has good dyeing properties. First, the hydrophobic silica is modified to introduce amino groups, which makes the polyurethane have dyeing ability. Secondly, the cationic group quaternary ammonium salt introduced into the chain extender dodecyl bis hydroxyethyl methyl ammonium chloride molecule can be combined with the anionic groups (carboxyl, sulfonic acid, etc.) in the reactive dye molecules to form salts, thereby improving the color fastness. Compared with Example 2, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the hydrophobic silica was not modified to introduce amino groups, and the dyeing performance was slightly reduced; in Comparative Example 3, the chain extender was replaced by 1,4-butanediol by dodecyl bis hydroxyethyl methyl ammonium chloride, which lacked the cationic effect of the quaternary ammonium salt, and the wet friction fastness of the composite material decreased.

[0128] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
