Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of textile fabrics, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a self-cleaning textile coating with underwater easy stain removal function. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of science and technology, the application of intelligent self-cleaning technology of textiles in daily life is becoming more and more widespread. However, the current self-cleaning technology mainly achieves the stain-proof effect through the super-hydrophobic finishing of the product (similar to an umbrella, stains cannot enter). However, most of the products we use in daily life need to be hydrophilic. Therefore, the application of the above technology is very limited. How to impart self-cleaning function to textiles through post-finishing process, so that they have easy stain removal characteristics and meet the needs of the textile industry, has become a problem to be solved.

[0003] The existing super-hydrophilic surface has many problems: for example, the rough surface constructed by using conventional nanoparticles has poor weather resistance and film forming effect, and is easily affected by the environment and loses hydrophilic effect. The polymer material also has the problems of high preparation cost, and some modified reagents may be harmful to the environment. For example, titanium dioxide nanoparticles decompose the organic matter (such as polymer binder) of the nanoparticles and the substrate under ultraviolet light excitation, resulting in a decrease in the bonding force between the nanoparticles and the substrate, and the collapse of the film structure. Fluorine-containing polymers (such as perfluorooctanoic acid, PFOA) use modified reagents with persistence, bioaccumulation and toxicity (PBT characteristics), which are difficult to degrade in the natural environment, causing long-term burden to the ecological system, and have been listed as potential carcinogens by international organizations. In addition, during the production process of polyacrylamide (PAM), the monomer acrylamide has strong neurotoxicity, and the residual monomer needs to be removed through a complex purification process, significantly increasing the production cost.

[0004] A Chinese invention patent with application publication number CN109593390A discloses a titanium dioxide-organic composite self-cleaning coating with high light transmittance and persistent super-hydrophilic property and a mild preparation method thereof. The titanium dioxide modified with alcohol amine is directly dispersed in an acrylate monomer, and a titanium dioxide-organic composite coating is obtained by spin coating and ultraviolet curing. The ultraviolet light curing cost of the coating is high, and the spin coating process is only suitable for small substrates and cannot be used for large-scale production. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the present application provides a preparation method of a self-cleaning textile coating with underwater easy stain removal function. The coating prepared by the method has excellent self-cleaning performance and good surface durability, and has the advantages of simple process and large-scale production.

[0038] The present application discloses a preparation method of a self-cleaning textile coating with underwater easy stain removal function, comprising the following steps:

[0039] (1) under alkaline conditions, hydrolyze tetraethyl orthosilicate and deposit it on the surface of the fabric to form an ultra-hydrophilic inorganic layer with rough microstructure; (2) combine the sulfonate polyanion electrolyte with strong hydration capacity with the related cations to build an ultra-hydrophilic polyelectrolyte multilayer structure. That is, build the polyelectrolyte multilayer on the surface of the fabric: specifically, repeat the deposition of PDADMAC (polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) / PSS (sodium polystyrene sulfonate) chains on the fabric; then repeat the deposition of PVS (sodium polyvinyl sulfonate) chains on the fabric coated with PDADMAC / PSS to form a polyelectrolyte multilayer. The present application successfully realizes the easy stain removal and self-cleaning function through the organic combination of organic and inorganic materials, combined with chemical cross-linking and hydrophilic modification technology. Compared with traditional water-repellent and oil-repellent coatings, the present application overcomes the defect that once stained with oil stains, it is difficult to clean with water, and realizes the spontaneous peeling of oil stains under the action of water by using the ultra-hydrophilic property, showing excellent self-cleaning effect. The method has excellent adaptability to conventional hydrophilic fabrics such as polyester, viscose and cotton, and can be particularly applied to easily contaminated parts such as shirt collars, and its fast stain removal property (cleaning efficiency > 92% within 30 seconds) precisely matches the core demand of consumers for high-efficiency cleaning. Based on this, the self-cleaning coating has considerable application potential in daily life clothing, outdoor sports clothing and other scenes.

[0058] (2) The fabric (cotton, polyester, viscose) treated in step (1) was immersed in a solution of the polycationic electrolyte NaCl for 20 minutes. That is, it was immersed in a solution of PDADMAC (1.0 mg / mL) in 0.5 M NaCl in water for 20 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with water for 10 minutes and dried in vacuum for 10 minutes. Subsequently, the fabric coated with PDADMAC was immersed in a solution of the polyanionic electrolyte NaCl for 20 minutes. That is, it was immersed in a solution of PSS (1.0 mg / mL) in 0.5 M NaCl in water for 20 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly with water for 10 minutes and dried in vacuum for 10 minutes.

[0059] The PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 fabric was immersed in a solution of Na2SO4 (100 mM) in water for 1 hour, then rinsed thoroughly with water and dried in vacuum for 10 minutes. The resulting PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 with SO4 -2 ions as surface counterions.

[0060] The resulting PDADMAC / PSS 3.5The coated fabric was immersed in a NaCl solution of polyanion electrolyte for 20 minutes. That is, it was immersed in a PVS (1.0 mg / mL) aqueous solution of 0.5M NaCl for 20 minutes, then washed thoroughly with water for 10 minutes, and dried in a vacuum for 10 minutes. This deposition cycle was repeated three times to produce a PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 PVS3 polyelectrolyte multilayer.

[0061] The super-hydrophilic self-cleaning coated fabric prepared in Example 1 was taken for material apparent morphology observation, water contact angle test, sample durability, underwater oil-repellent performance, and self-cleaning efficiency evaluation, and the methods and results are as follows:

[0062] (1) Material structure and surface water contact angle;

[0063] Figure 1 The SEM images of the super-hydrophilic coated fabrics of polyester (a), viscose (b), and cotton (c) in Example 1. This method drives the positively charged polydimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (PDADMAC) and the negatively charged sodium polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) to be alternately deposited through electrostatic interaction, and a PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 layered polyelectrolyte composite film (seven cycles refer to the deposition of 4 times of PDADMAC and 3 times of PSS, and 3.5 means 3.5 PDADMAC / PSS polyelectrolyte layers, which means that PDADMAC / PSS is regarded as a whole, so the subscript of PSS is 3.5), forming a cationic and anionic network structure with a molecular level interface combination. On this basis, polyvinyl sulfonic acid (PVS) is introduced for the third phase functional assembly, and a PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 PVS3 three-dimensional interpenetrating network structure. The coating can have a strong adsorption effect on the fabric, and, notably, the PVS anions form a continuous phase structure in the composite structure through a topological penetration mode. This multi-scale synergistic enhancement mechanism enables the coating system to exhibit excellent crack inhibition capability when subjected to physical damage caused by mechanical stress, and still maintains structural integrity in an acid / alkali chemical corrosion environment, exhibiting significantly enhanced environmental tolerance.

[0064] The super-hydrophilic property of the coating surface benefits from the high-density ordered arrangement of sulfonic acid groups in the surface modification layer and their symmetrical distribution at the molecular level, which significantly improves the surface energy of the modified fabric, and the water contact angle tends to 0°, exhibiting typical super-hydrophilic interface behavior. This functionalization strategy is universal for different textile substrates. Figure 2 The shape change of a water droplet on the polyester coated fabric is shown. From Figure 2 It can be seen that the textile coating prepared by the present application has good hydrophilicity.

[0065] (2) Underwater oil-repellent performance and self-cleaning performance;

[0066] Polyelectrolyte multilayer film PDADMAC / PSS 3.5 The surface of PVS3 has strong self-cleaning function of nanoscale smooth surface because it contains sulfonate groups with strong hydration ability and the adjacent nonpolar groups between the sulfonate groups are small methylene groups (isotropic arrangement of molecular configuration), but the sulfonate groups are separated from each other by the hydrophobic benzene ring, and the overall molecular configuration is anisotropic, so the polyelectrolyte multilayer film surface has certain oil adhesion. Therefore, the present scheme is optimized from two dimensions of interface charge regulation and surface structure design. First, positively charged inorganic silica ions are introduced, and second, hydrophilic sulfonate ions are combined with silica nanoparticles through an organic-inorganic composite strategy: the sulfonic groups in the organic material can enhance the interface hydration, and the nanoparticles form a micro-nano hierarchical structure on the surface through controllable accumulation. According to the surface wetting theory, this synergistic design can simultaneously meet two key conditions: the hydrophilic chemical component provides hydrophilic groups to reduce the contact angle, and the micro-nano rough structure enhances the apparent presentation of hydrophilicity through capillary effect, so as to finally realize the efficient stripping of oily pollutants under the action of dynamic water flow. Compared with single-component modification, the composite system significantly improves the anti-adhesion ability and self-cleaning efficiency of the surface to oily pollutants while maintaining the inherent properties of the polyelectrolyte multilayer film.

[0067] The underwater super-oil-repellent properties and self-cleaning performance of the coated fabric are verified by a systematic test method. As shown in Figure 3 , first, the material is characterized by a two-parameter detection method: by precisely measuring the sliding track of the underwater oil droplets on the inclined coated surface, combined with quantitative analysis of the oil contact angle (OCA), it is confirmed that the coated fabric has significant underwater super-oil-repellent properties. In terms of self-cleaning performance evaluation, a dynamic water flow washing method is used to simulate the actual cleaning environment, and by comparing the differences between the oil-polluted samples before and after treatment, the self-cleaning efficiency of the coating is evaluated, and the related experimental results are shown in Figure 4 . This series of tests form a complete evaluation chain from surface property characterization to functional performance verification, effectively demonstrating the functional properties of the coating.

[0068] (3) Self-cleaning performance test

[0069] Principle analysis of self-cleaning efficiency test:

[0070] Test of physical properties: i.e. test of whiteness, using a DSDB-1 digital whiteness meter, first calibrate with a standard white board of 81.8%, then measure the coated fabric and original fabric samples at different positions while keeping the warp and weft directions consistent for 3 times, and the result is the average of 3 times.

[0071] Whiteness retention: reflects the anti-redeposition performance (washed stains cannot contaminate the washed fabric) is determined according to formula (1); wherein the parameters are the whiteness values (%) of the original (R0) and the dirty cloth before (R1) and after (R2) washing, which are measured using a whiteness colorimeter.

[0072]

[0073] By measuring the whiteness retention of the coated fabric (formula 1), it is found that the whiteness retention of the SiO2-polyelectrolyte coated fabric group can reach 90%, which is about 10% higher than that of the polyelectrolyte coated fabric group (comparative example 2), and far exceeds that of the SiO2 coated fabric group (comparative example 1) and the blank fabric group. As shown in Figure 5 , this result shows that in the case of using SiO2-polyelectrolyte coating, cleaning without using detergent can achieve the traditional detergent-based cleaning performance of stains.

[0074] (4) Durability test of coated fabric - washing resistance test;

[0075] The durability of the coating material is particularly important, and the experiment focuses on the application characteristics of the fabric substrate to build a coating durability evaluation system. Referring to GB / T12490-2014 "Textile Color Fastness Test - Color Fastness to Home and Commercial Washing", washing is carried out in a washing color fastness tester. Prepare 0.2% concentration of non-phosphorus ECE standard detergent, cut the finished cotton, polyester and viscose fabric into 10cm*10cm, put them into a special washing cup containing 150mL of detergent and 10 steel balls, wash at 40℃ for 45min, and rinse the washed sample with deionized water twice. The above procedure is equivalent to 5 times of conventional washing, and the performance data is obtained through a step-by-step increasing washing experiment (10, 20, 30 cycles), and the decay curve of the coating performance retention rate with the increase of washing times is constructed based on the whiteness retention rate. As shown in Figure 6 , the experimental results show that after 30 times of standard washing procedure, the whiteness retention rate of the coated fabric can still maintain more than 60%, which fully proves that the coated fabric has excellent washing resistance stability.

[0076] The above description of the embodiments is for the convenience of those of ordinary skill in the art to understand and use the present application. Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present application, and the present application is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present application should also be within the scope of the present application.
