Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of differentiated regenerated environmentally friendly fiber preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing regenerated polyester composite antibacterial filament. Background Art

[0002] Recycled polyester refers to a new type of recycled fiber produced from recycled polyester fiber waste through a series of physical and chemical processes. Recycled polyester fiber waste mainly refers to polyethylene terephthalate (PET). As a recyclable fiber product, recycled polyester has many advantages. It can reduce resource waste, reduce waste emissions, and save costs. Compared with polyester fibers, recycled polyester products are soft, breathable, and easy to dry.

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of my country's economy, resource shortages and environmental degradation have become increasingly prominent and have become a major bottleneck restricting economic development. The rapid growth of polyester production has further increased the amount of waste plastic bottles and waste fibers. Due to its strong chemical properties, polyester is difficult to degrade in nature, which has a certain impact on the environment. At the same time, international fashion trends are increasingly focusing on environmental protection and sustainable development. However, the petroleum raw material for polyester fabrics is a non-renewable resource, which is not conducive to the sustainable development of the textile industry. Therefore, various industries have conducted relevant research on recycling in recent years. It is now possible to recycle waste plastic bottles and fibers into polyester fibers with stable quality and excellent performance, giving waste plastics and fibers a second life, achieving resource recycling and environmental protection.

[0004] However, recycled polyester also has some limitations. Usually, the antibacterial properties of recycled polyester usually involve nanosilver particles. When nanosilver is applied to the fabric, the nanosilver lacks sufficient adhesion to the fibers, resulting in a loose bond with the fibers. As a result, only a small amount of nanosilver ions can be adsorbed on the fibers. Nanosilver is not easy to enter the fabric and is easily washed away. As a result, the antibacterial properties of recycled polyester cannot meet people's needs.

[0005] In view of this, we disclose a method for preparing regenerated polyester composite antibacterial filament. Summary of the Invention

[0026] Furthermore, the nanoparticles are one of nanosilver, nanocopper oxide or nanozinc oxide.

[0027] Furthermore, the compound antioxidant is a mixture of antioxidant 1010 and antioxidant 168, and the ratio of antioxidant 1010 to antioxidant 168 is 1:(1-2) in parts by weight.

[0028] Furthermore, the method for preparing the regenerated polyester composite antibacterial filament comprises the following steps:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

When the absolute position of the described object changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly. The experimental methods or test methods described in the following examples / comparative examples are all conventional methods unless otherwise specified; the reagents and materials are all obtained from conventional commercial channels or prepared by conventional methods unless otherwise specified.

[0045] In this invention, in order to achieve the antibacterial function of the regenerated polyester filament, we added montmorillonite as one of the additives. Montmorillonite (English name montmorillonite) is a natural silicate mineral and the main mineral component of bentonite. It contains Al2O316.54%, MgO4.65%, SiO250.95%, and has the structural formula (Al, Mg)2(SiO 10 )(OH)2nH2O, a monoclinic crystal with multiple crystal positions, aggregates in soil-like, spherical, and other forms. Its volume expands several times upon addition of water, becoming a paste; upon thermal dehydration, its volume shrinks. It possesses strong adsorption capacity and cation exchange properties and is primarily found in the weathering crust of volcanic tuff. Montmorillonite (including calcium-based, sodium-based, sodium-calcium-based, and magnesium-based montmorillonite) undergoes exfoliation, dispersion, purification, modification, ultrafine grading, and special organic compounding, resulting in an average chip thickness of less than 25nm. It can be used as a bleaching agent, adsorbent filler, and is known as a "universal material." In the present invention, montmorillonite primarily serves as a carrier for nanosilver ions, preventing the nanosilver particles from agglomerating and effectively dispersing them within the regenerated polyester filament. The nanosilver particles form hydrogen bonds with the montmorillonite surface, achieving long-lasting and potent antibacterial properties.

[0046] Montmorillonite exhibits oleophobicity due to the large number of inorganic ions between its layers, which hinders its dispersion in a polymer matrix. Therefore, it requires organic modification. The goal is to change the high polarity of the montmorillonite surface, converting the interlayers from hydrophilic to oleophilic, reducing its surface energy. Simultaneously, the interlayer spacing is increased, allowing polymer chains or monomers to enter the interlayers, thereby producing a nanocomposite material. The present invention treats sodium montmorillonite with the cationic surfactant octadecyldimethylallylammonium chloride, causing a cation exchange reaction. This allows organic groups to cover the montmorillonite surface or intercalate between its layers, changing its surface energy and increasing the interlayer spacing, thereby converting its original hydrophilicity to oleophilicity. Natural montmorillonite is rich in silanol (-SiOH) groups on its surface, making it poorly compatible with the hydrophobic PET matrix. Direct addition can lead to particle agglomeration and interfacial defects. Furthermore, the CEC (cation exchange capacity) of natural montmorillonite is approximately 80-120 meq / 100g, making it difficult to load sufficient amounts of antimicrobial ingredients. In the present invention, sodium montmorillonite is peeled off under the action of polyethyl phosphate glyceride to obtain a single-layer montmorillonite structure, which can effectively make up for the above-mentioned defects, can load sufficient antibacterial components and is well compatible with the PET matrix.

[0047] The addition of recycled PET reduces production costs and aligns with my country's green development philosophy. However, during processing, recycled PET bottles experience molecular chain breakage, leading to reduced molecular weight, low intrinsic viscosity, poor flow stability, difficulty in demolding, and poor impact resistance. These issues can affect the performance and durability of recycled PET, necessitating the addition of PET chips to the recycled material. PET chips improve melt strength and spinnability, compensating for the chain breakage defects of the recycled material.

[0147] Performance Testing

[0148] Mechanical properties testing

[0149] With reference to GB / T14337-2008 “Test method for tensile properties of chemical staple fibers”, the yarns were cut into the same test length, and the mechanical properties of the sample yarns were evaluated using an electronic single-filament strength tester (LLY-06E) purchased from Laizhou Electronic Instrument Co., Ltd. in China, with breaking strength (unit: cN / dtex) as the evaluation standard.

[0150] Long-lasting antibacterial

[0151] Refer to GB / T31713-2015 "Safety and Hygiene Requirements for Antimicrobial Textiles", use standard detergent to wash at 40°C, conduct the initial antibacterial rate test (wash 0 times), perform multiple washes (such as 5 times, 10 times, 20 times, 50 times), retest the antibacterial rate after washing, and observe the attenuation.

[0152] Antibacterial properties

[0153] The yarns were woven into fabric using the same process and then cut into fabrics of equal area for testing. The antibacterial properties of the PET composite antibacterial fiber were tested according to GB / T 20944.3-2008, "Evaluation of Antimicrobial Properties of Textiles - Part 3: Oscillation Method." The antibacterial activity of the regenerated polyester filament was expressed as inhibition rate (%) against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922), and Candida albicans (ATCC 10231).

[0154] The regenerated polyester filament samples of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were sampled and then characterized according to relevant performance test standards. Detailed comparison of relevant tests is shown in Table 1.

[0155] Table 1 Comparison of relevant test characteristics

[0156] From the comparison in the above table, it can be seen that the regenerated polyester filament prepared by the present invention has the characteristics of good mechanical properties and strong and long-lasting antibacterial effect.

[0157] As for mechanical properties, the present invention mainly uses breaking strength as the evaluation standard. The breaking strength is mainly related to the structure of the polyester filament. In Examples 1-3, as the proportion of recycled PET bottle flakes increases,

[0158] The breaking strength of recycled polyester shows a downward trend for the following reasons: 1. The recycled raw materials undergo multiple melt processing, and the molecular chains break, resulting in a decrease in polymerization degree and a decrease in intrinsic viscosity; 2. Impurities (such as dyes and additives) remain during the regeneration process, destroying the structural uniformity; 3. The recycled PET composition is complex, and the intrinsic viscosity fluctuates greatly, affecting the strength stability.

[0159] For antimicrobial agents, the modified antimicrobial agent used in the present invention is a mixture of modified montmorillonite and nanoparticles. After being treated with a polyvinyl pyrrolidone aqueous solution, the modified antimicrobial agent is combined with regenerated polyester filaments. The synergistic effect of the modified montmorillonite and the nanoparticles imparts excellent antimicrobial properties to the regenerated polyester filaments. In Comparative Examples 1-5, the incomplete structure of the modified antimicrobial agent significantly impacts its antimicrobial properties. The nanosilver particles provide potent antimicrobial properties. The modified montmorillonite acts as a carrier for the nanoparticles, preventing them from agglomerating. The polyvinyl pyrrolidone disperses the monolayer montmorillonite structure, and the PET structure influences the stability of the modified antimicrobial agent's binding to it.

[0160] While the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, this is not intended to limit the present invention. Persons skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the claims.
